Things are plodding along fairly well at the moment, the thumps in the title are me nearly falling off my chair due to tiredness. Even the week by week plodding is pretty tiring, so adding in any kind of social life hits me that lil bit harder. Because of the seriousness of this final year of my studies, I can honestly say that I'm treating this practically like a 9 til 5. I'm probably studying not far off 40 hours a week, with those hours spread out over the 7 days each week. Its tough going but I'm hoping it'll be worth it!

I got two sets of marks back today, one from a presentation I gave last Monday about German reunification, I got 57% which is a high 2.2 which is what I've been predicted I'll get. A 2.1 is 60% so with a bit of luck I might manage to grab myself a 2.1. The other one was for a powerpoint presentation where I got 50%, in some ways I'm disappointed to have scored as low as I did, but then I agree with what the lecturer had said was the major downside to my presentation.
