Got my assignment back today~ =D 74%, which is ONE MARK short of a distinction. ONE MARK. I told my tutor afterwards that it was cruel and unusual punishment :< She said it was ENCOURAGEMENT because I was right on the money but missed one major point. But what I DID say was really good, and apparently there were only 5 people with higher marks than me.

So... yay?

But then we went on to talk about grammar for half the tute, which made me silently scream with inner turmoil because it was all on apostrophes and its/it's and sentence fragments and all this stuff I swear I had perfected by year 6.

Sentence: "Pan's Labyrinth," "Some Movie," and Another Movie were all discussed in Some Bloke's book, "Book title."
Tutor: What's wrong with this sentence?
Me: *OH GOD I FEEL SO PATRONISED* Titles should be italicised~ not quotation marks or underline.
Tutor: Well, italicised or underlined, but as long as you're consistent.
Me: No, italicised. Underline means, 'I want to put this in italics but I don't know how.' =D
Tutor: ...I'll accept underlines as well =D
Me: ... *cries a little inside. I didn't get one of three Desktop Publishing 20s in the state for NOTHING, woman, don't you contradict me on style =P*

I think she hates me now.
