I so knew that the work I handed in the other day was rubbish. But now my supervisors have confirmed it (they didn't say actually say rubbish but it's basically what they meant!). Sigh. Not looking forward to supervision at all later this week, although I think this has helped them to see that I'm actually struggling a bit more than I've let on so far. Well, not so much struggling, so much as a bit overwhelmed and spreading myself too thinly, what with tutoring, marking, language study, scouring Romanian newspapers etc, which means that the literature reading is getting a bit squeezed out. Fortunately after this week it's the spring break, and after that I only have 3 more weeks of tutoring, so I can spend the summer redressing the balance. But I'm finding it very obvious that one of my skills which is rapidly degenerating with age is multi-tasking.
