Two assignments completed by Christmas! That\u2019s pretty good going. I\u2019m not sure when we\u2019ll get our marks back, but I guess it won\u2019t be until the New Year &#8211; probably the middle of January. Maybe at the end of the first week of Jan if we\u2019re lucky. Either way, I won\u2019t be stressing about how well I did. I\u2019ll just relax and enjoy Christmas and think about the next phase of the module to come. It\u2019s all down to the nitty gritty next because we\u2019ll be tackling the English Literature and Creative Writing topics in the New Year and into the spring. I\u2019m feeling quite a bit nervous about it. Will I really be any good at this? Who knows. In the meantime &#8211; IT\u2019S CHRISTMAS!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/larelle.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/12\/img_20221211_194608.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3791\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Yes, one fell off the wall and I\u2019ve yet to get the frame sorted out and replaced. And the is paint peeling off the wall. Such a great look! Lol<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One thing I will say is that for one part of my assignment we were asked to write a short piece about a portrait that we\u2019d recently come across. With the image above in mind &#8211; just one of my bedroom walls adorned with an endless array of Kerr portrait photographs, I seriously contemplated doing this short piece about one of my photos of Jim but I became waaaaay too worried about how that might reflect on me to the other students and decided to make a different choice. All for the better, I think! Which one of the Jims would I have chosen? Well, to have made myself a little less like a woman of 52 acting like a girl of 12, I probably would have gone for one of the photos of him on the stage performing. Our task for this part of the assignment was to write about what we thought the portrait&#8217;s purpose was. I\u2019d have had a better justification of explaining the purpose of a photo of Jim on a stage than I would have of one of the promo photos of him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s all irrelevant now anyway but, yeah\u2026talk about spoiled for choice had I gone with my initial idea of choosing a photo of His Kerrness to go on about. Lol<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll take a final look over the assignment tomorrow, make sure it\u2019s all reading right, the word count is correct, references are correct and\u2026in she goes! And then the next assignment is just under a whole two months away. Phew!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That\u2019s another assignment completed!
