I was planning on moving on to the next chapter in Reputations but instead decided to go back over some of the stuff on Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe. 

First, I focused on some literary devices provided by my tutor from a tutorial a couple of weeks ago: alliteration, assonance, metaphors, similes, and personification. Then I moved on to how punctuation is used within poetry and what iambic pentameter is. I was already familiar with all of these terms but it was good to go over them again.

Next, I think I'll reread parts of the chapter on Cézanne, especially the definitions of techniques used by artists.

On a different note, I'm fed up with this weather; I would like to see the sun now please!

First assignment submitted! And before the deadline too. It was a very nerve-racking ordeal though: I was paranoid I'd formatted it wrong or written something stupid. Ah well. Only time will tell now.

I've started reading the chapter on Cezanne in the AA100 book. It's proving to be an interesting read. But I think I'm more interested in the art techniques than the artist. Personally, I don't like his style.
