The good with the bad

General
The past few journals have been quite sad/stressy and youve all listened and helped me with such kindness and patience that im very blessed to have such lovely folk here.
But its also important to share some of the good stuff/sucesses with you too.
You know that essay i was really panicking about that was basically 5k words on any topic but weaving a bunch of therapy theory into it...well it took me many weeks to complete it and genuinely i thought it was a mess of an essay. I really got stressed and worked myself into such a tizz.
I wrote it about asexuality in the theraputic space and handed it in on time thinking it would be handed back to me marked before the easter break so id be able to work on a resubmission during the break. I was convinced it was a fail.
Anyway it came back with a pass mark of 80% which means its in the distinction section. I burst into tears. Proper proper sobbed my heart out. Ive said all throughout this course that acedemia is a weak point of mine so to see such a high mark when all my other marks have been so close to failing... I just wasnt prepared for it. I now have something that really forces me to face that im not actually rubbish at this stuff. Its almost been a week since my result and its still not properly sunk in.
Anyway 2 more essays to go and then im finally done with this course and can get back on track with throwing myself into art. July cant come quick enough. We are gonna hafta have a party

Good job, and yes, party! Even if that party is staying in and having a bath. All parties are good
you can do anyfing! as you are one of the most talented people i knows :D
i would like you to see it like beating a dragon guarding the doors you always feared to cross. now the way is clear, is it going to be easy from now on? No, but it will not be as hard to feel good in trying.
i wish you all the best.
But srsly, great job squiggle.
You have worked so hard on this course over the last couple of years. You're coming to the final furlong, and you will be able to party hard! ^0^
Doesn't matter if it's your comics or your journals on here, reading them always seems to give me a new perspective about my life and how I approach things so thankyou.
Well done Star! Keep that mark somewhere you can see it, to remind yourself you can do it.
And very best of luck on those last two essays!
Congrats on your 80%, you got this!! :3
