Yesterday I handed in my final assessment piece for the Cultural Study Tour I took part in this winter term.
I had already recieved a HD for the reflexive journal we had to maintain during our time abroad and full marks on a hurdle communications requirment meaning I would need a low HD to achieve this goal.
Personally I believe my essay to be at the C-D range, but that is also what I thought of my journal, so that is yet to be seen.
If I don’t get a HD for this subject, that is ok. I would be quite happy with a distinction, though it would be nice to be able to mark this goal as achieved. If not, I will power on – after all I still do have 8 more classes to complete before finishing my course!

When I was younger I often wrote in a journal to organise my thoughts. However, the death of my journal writing came when I read an article that said that people who keep journals are often less mentally stable because they have a tendancy to dwell on things. I have not kept a journal since.
Recently I participated in a Cultural Study Tour, where a major assessment was the upkeep of a daily reflective journal. While sometimes it was hard to be so switched on, so reflective at all times, I did find the process of writing daily quote theraputic. Not only that, I found my writing skills improving because of the process of daily writing. This is especially important for myself as I wish to succeed as a writer.
Since then I have done some research for my final report and I have come to the conclusion that I believe journal keeping to be not detrimental to my health, but quite the opposite. Even if it sends me insane, I am ok with that as long as it improves my writing skills everyday.

At university I average on the cusp of a distinction for my overall marks, however I have improved this semester and only look to get better, with two HD’s for assessments already. Now I just have to crack the HD mark as a final result for a class.
The most annoying thing about this is that I have gotten HD level marks before, with two of my final marks being 82 this semester. However, because my universities marking system works a standard 5 marks above the standard in Melbourne, it is only seen to be a D.
Frustrating as it is, it’s something I have to deal with and I am absolutely determined to kick its ass and get myself that HD I deserve!
