Sometimes great is not good with out not-so-great

Wahoooo!  I just returned from my tutorial with my 17th Century tutor.  It was vastly different than last week.  Okay, not vastly, but enough that I feel much more confident.  I was working on my paper until 11:30pm.   The tutor said I had "read widely and obviously got into the topic."  That is great news compared to last weeks feedback.  I also liked that When he asked my questions I did not freeze up and utter a defeated "I don't know."  This week I was able to respond, I showed I knew more than my paper demonstrated.  I don't know if this would feel so successful if I didn't have last weeks unsuccessful attempt.  Cheers!
