It is finished

smokingbootIf the party hadn't been so cool, and last night's roleplay hadn't been so interesting, I might have lacked the mental strength this morning to sort this bizarre assignment on Counselling Concepts.
There are so many good things about my course; The tutors and people involved are really fantastic. Unfortunately, it hasn't been as well structured as it might have been; This is the one piece of writing we had to hand in, until they gave us the other two, which they had somehow forgotten about, or never knew existed in the first place.
2000 words, they told us. I was confident; I can write 2000 words in my sleep. I'm also OK at hitting a given deadline with a given word count. But ooh, I am doomed if no-one can tell me what the word count is. They say 2000; I check the test paper and it says 1500 with no more than 10% give either way before penalty. I phone and ask. The head tutor says, 'Oh...is that what it says? Better do that then...' One extra assignment then turned up, and another phone call from the same genuinely well meaning lady telling me not to do assignment 2 until she has sent me some stuff through the post. Stuff hasn't arrived (or at least, stuff to do with the essay; she and her companion tutor posted us all handmade 'warmnfuzzies', ie plaited strings of coloured wool... it's very charming, but I am a little lost as to how it helps) Last day of the course tomorrow. There is an ominous sense of too much entertainment about it.
Note to self: Stop seeing Gestalt cycles everywhere. It's not big and it's not clever.
Note to self 2: People are talking about the Game of Thrones RPG, so clearly it's out. Time for those naughty, remiss, and bleedin' late publishers to put some peanuts in my paws.
