CIM - Passed!!

Just found out unexpectedly that I passed my remaining 2 CIM modules, meaning that I have successfully completed my course.

Phew!!

I think I get some letters after my name, so I reckon I will now be something along the lines of BA Hons. MPhil ACIM ... not bad for a small chinchilla! A bit unexpected, as I thought the results were coming through on Friday, but I almost prefer it this way. Lull you into a sense of security and then ... BAM!

Pretty exhausted today at work, so having a lazy evening at home. Snuck into the second hand DVD shop on my way home, and agreed with myself that I was allowed to invest in Series 2 of Futurama if it was still there. It was, so I bought it. I figured providence could decide whether I deserved it or not.

Fish is back in the cinema, I think watching the Illusionist.

Interesting how productive you can be after a glass or so of wine (actually Cava with Chambord).

Charlie is away at a conference, and I have been furthering my assignment progress pretty well. Went to see my tutor earlier, and I am a bit chuffed to hear that I am in the top half of the class in terms of progress (smugness aids confidence, in my case). Goes to show that I am getting there ... however gradually. Have committed to getting a first draft through of both assignments by the end of the weekend, so maybe should get some more bubbly wine to get me through it.

Andrew will hopefully be giving me a few pointers on my assignment. Matty is coming to stay for a night next week, so will be good to see him.

Am a bit bored of the sore lips and sore nose that have stuck with me after my cold, but it is kind of par for the course.

Ran into work on Tues, and hoping to do it again tomorrow. It is a reasonably long way (7km) and a pain to be carrying a rucksack, though I have left a change of clothes at work so the rucksack shoudl be pretty light tomorrow. Will try and do a 10km this weekend in preparation for the big run on the 31st.

All in all, am feeling pretty perky, given how painfully busy I have been at work this week and last.

Sniffle ... snooort ... splurtle!

Ok, so another cold has come my way ... sigh! It is the kind where you feel ok-ish in yourself, but your nose is on freeflow and your throat feels like sandpaper direct from the Sahara. This in itself generates a feeling of self indulgence when dealing with colleagues or one's husband, and the need for regular doses of sympathy.

Work is busy, trying to be slightly more forceful without getting myself into trouble, having more confidence in my insight and decisions.

CIM still looms.
