I was utterly done in when I came home from work this afternoon. This business of working from 6am to 11pm and getting in for 8am the next day is something that's beginning to take its toll on the aging neil.

Anyway, after a [four hour] nap I did some maths. It wasn't too bad but I realized that it was time to be honest with myself—what grade am I aiming for here?

There's a bit of me that thinks that I can still get a distinction, the realist in me knows that I should ensure a grade 2. I'm going to go with my realist, and revise accordingly.

This is slightly gutting, but if I've learnt anything on the OU road it's to know yourself. It's way too easy to aim for the stars and end up with your nose buried and broken in the dust of some planet.

The trickiest of the things that we have to learn is the abilty to cross our own hopes, we can't always have what we want, can we accept that we aren't as special as we think we are?

Tomorrow we do maths...
