Years ago I went with school on an outward bounds course, which involved a lot of rock climbing, the funny thing is that I am terrified of heights but didn't let it stop me, after one climb one of the instructors asked me, I thought you were scared of heights, I said I was, and he replied why did you take the hardest route up then, my answer was that it appeared to be the easiest route to me.
Tonight it seems I've done it again. Tonight I was given, for my AS photography course, the controlled assignment, otherwise known as an exam. There are 14 possible assignments and we have to choose 1. Not all the assignments are suitable for photographic interpretation as the paper is for everyone doing AS Art and design. Our lecturer went through them pointing out which ones he thought we should avoid, true to form the one that appealed to me most was one he thought we should avoid. This isn't going to stop me doing it, though when it starts getting tough it is really important that I don't start beating myself up about it.
Another achievement tonight I walked home from college in the dark on my own and without phoning home first. I am now absolutely shattered and my head really hurts but part of me is pleased with my achievement.
