    I haven't done any work for a few days. Not really felt up to it. I need to crack on though. 80% on this last TMA and 85% on my EMA would mean I will pass this module with a distinction too and I'd like to do that. I want to push myself to do as well as I can do.

    Pushing yourself is fine, but not to the detriment of your well being...
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I have 2 assignments left, my EMA isn't due until the end of May so I'm not having to catch up and have loads of time to work on that so can take rest days

    It's assignment time, I think I'd rather scrub the loo then work... that and lots of TV to catch up on

    Driving lesson didn't start great! I think I ballsed everything up in the first 5 minutes. But settled down, had very little instruction and dealt well with having to stop and start again, even if I did brake a little late the second time. My speed is getting better too. Overall I think I did pretty well!!!

    Jess screwed up the first 10 minutes of her driving test. Her instructor told her afterwards that he was convinced she was going to fail but she calmed down and did so well during the rest of it that he passed as she showed him she could drive. What I’m trying to say is that we all balls up sometimes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t drive. And it sounds like you’ve got that - I’m so proud of you
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I surprised myself as I didn't beat myself up about it. And I'm able to pick up on things I'm doing well , not just things that need work. I think it's the first time I've ever taken more positives then negatives away from something and not let the negatives affect my mood.

    On my test I managed to lock the examiner out of the car, set off the wipers rather than indicate, indicate right when I wanted to go left, and all before I left the car park.... I still passed!

    I'm so proud of you!!

    I managed to whack the indicator a few times and instead of indicating I put full beam on!!! But I can see a lot of improvements since I started learning with Bob.
