diploma: u r doin it riteThis morning, at about 9.17am, and not that I was counting, I passed the second shorthand test.
The chances of me getting a diploma are suddenly looking rather good. As far as course work goes, I have one story waiting to be marked, and one review (they MADE us go and see an am-dram performance of 'Allo 'Allo for this, which I feel breaches some sort of human right). There is a 1500-word feature left to write, and an internet/editing test next Wednesday which Tutor Smartypants, in his professional capacity, described as "a piece of piss". And that is it.
Short of shitting on Tutor Smartypants' desk, or eating his baby, I am cautiously optimistic I now have no need for the image (above) I "borrowed" and carefully filed away when I saw it several months ago, ready for this time of year.
Huzzah.
Discussing this astonishing turn of events with Tutor Smartypants this morning (and he no less astonished than I - "Just think, this time next week you will be a fully qualified journalist, and Jesus that is scary for so many reasons," I think he said) I put it to him that for me, this year had mainly been confirmation of something I already knew - that I can do what I'm told.
He looked surprised when I said that. So surprised, in fact, maybe I need to go away and reassess that opinion. Perhaps I am just like the Scarecrow after all.
But before we start all the thinky stuff, there's that small matter of the 1500-word feature.
See you on the other side.

You are the finest weasel that ever there was! I always knew you could do it.
Interesting what you say about being able to do as you are told. Well done! It came somewhat as a revelation yesterday (in my car-that's where all revelations happen) that I am pretty well incapable of doing what I am told, and if that is going to remain the case I am learning entirely the wrong subjects at college. Unfortunately I didn't have the revelation that told me what I *should* be learning.
hmmmmm.

"smarty pants" is being an arse! I could have told you before that you could be a qualified journalist if you wanted to. I didn't, but I could have.
