Better...

Visible to anyone in the world

I found myself in a much better frame of mind on waking this morning.  I do not feel bugged!

Unfortunately, hand in hand with my improved vision of the world, has appeared a reoccurrence of random memory losses.  Or perhaps not memory.  It basically involves me completing all my tasks in a bizarre way, but not knowing that I've done it until a later time.  So for example, I just found a fork on the sofa.  For some reason, after eating lunch, I took the plate into the kitchen, but chose to leave the fork.  I went to the supermarket to get kitchen rolls and mustard, but came back with marmite and coffee.  I started my game studies and found that following the instructions gave results, but not the desired ones.  In fact, entirely random ones.  Once again I am at the mercy of posting my dismal failure to a forum with no knowledge of when light will be thrown on where exactly I went wrong.  So I'm here, instead.

We didn't watch Mr Nice in the end last night; we watched the final episode of the Game of Thrones instead.  Tonight maybe.

Ooh, just got confirmation of passing a module.  Good.  Passing is good.  I can use that as an excellent excuse for my current study behaviour.  When people ask what I'm doing, rather than tell them that I have achieved a particularly small amount in recent months, I will tell them that I recently passed a module that counts towards a degree that counts as an achievement.  Getting praised for things I have already done; an inspired tactic.  Despite having an excuse not to achieve anything further today, I will plod on with the game course.  I'm disappointed by the content of the EMA.  Not because it's disappointing, just because it isn't what I was expecting.

Checked the B3 course just now; the result's in for that too.  Nothing pending now.  Funny, getting the first one was good, getting the second one not so much.  Now I feel like all I have left is work to do, and lots of it.  A minute ago I had a clear sense of work completed.  There's just no pleasing some people.  Ha!  Well, we are all strange after all!
