Why shouldn't I begin this sixth chapter with some good news?

Some of you may be aware that I've begun studying a course in the arts and humanities (AZX103) at the Open University - some of you may even be studying the course yourself - and those of you who are studying it, will know that TMA02, our first marked assignment, has recently been completed by us, marked by our respective tutors, and returned back to us, complete with marks and comments. I was surprised to discover that I'd gained 76% - a B Grade.

Assignment Book - Marking Criteria, page 5

Pass 2
70-84%
B 		Well-constructed, well-argued and clearly written work, sustaining either relevant argument and/or relevant evidence, and showing intelligent grasp and use of course material.

So I'm pretty pleased with that. No time to give you details about the assignment now, but maybe later, after studying the Colosseum for a while, I'll be back with details, details... it's all in the details.
