I am Sooooooo happy (yay me) Today was a VERY momentous day!!!! Today i got my first university essay back. It is my first piece of assesed work, it was an essay on the economic and religious narrative in Robinson Crusoe for my Novel module. I had been a little concerned because I haven't written an essay in over two years and Dr Lister is a really tough marker, BUT....Wait for it.....Drum roll please.........I GOT A FIRST (that's the highest mark you can get)!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness. Dr Lister said it was really rare for someone to be getting first's at this stage. The really cool thing though is that I can't really take a whole lot of the credit. One of the main reasons it got the grade it did was because she said she has read hundreds of essays under that title and everyone pretty much writes the same, mine was really original because of how I saw that the religious and economic were not mutually exclusive, my insight into the period and church of the time and extensive knowledge and use of the bible as well as the text to support these original thoughts instead of just going with what all the critics have thought. So really the credit goes to Jesus (as with everything) It has just been so amazing to see the extent the Lord is glorified through these secular studies and in this too is my provider and source of insight, time, energy, ability. Whatever we surrender to him He is faithful to use for His glory and our good and it is such a joy to live and rest in that.
