Writing Skills is completed. Assignment 5 is sent and I eagerly await my tutor's feedback. I feel much better about this assignment because I gave myself enough time to develop a story.

Quote of the Day
“I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding— certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of other so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My … Continue reading Quote of the Day
