I was editing my TMA02 when there was a knock on the door. My neighbour handed me a card and I clinging to the doorpost said.

'Can't invite you in as I have ... ' and she said

'I know I can hear it. I'll come after Christmas for a game of Scrabble.' Whereupon I coughed fit to bust and she disappeared.

Have been drafting a commentary on TMA02 this afternoon but I had no good feelings about it because my tutor let me down again. I sent my first TMA Y180 online. The tutor acknowledged receipt marked and returned it with five Achieveds, one Not Achieved and two Just Achieveds. Annoyed with self for forgetting to send summary!

Sent TMA02 online. Received email from university but nothing from tutor. Emailed tutor. No reply. Phoned university was advised to contact tutor. Contacted tutor by phone. She said she had collected my TMA and would return it within a five days. Nothing happened. I phoned again and she said. 'I should have let you know. I've been busy and haven't had time to mark it.' (Only Achieved twice in EMA with six Just Achieveds.)

Confidence slid through soles of slippers. At the online tutorial A215 I was second to post a reply to  question one. As the day wore on and the next dawned I was getting concerned particularly as she had responded to the first student. Sent query. I am waiting for the others to join in replied tutor. Crushed! Many of them responded to my poem though and I was very pleased with that.

I am feeling much better now I have discharged this gripe.
