My attendance has been crap. Putting it bluntly, no one in my college thought I could do well, exam wise. Currently my attendance is around 65%. It's improved by around 15% since I had a disciplinary hearing regarding my attendance. They questioned me on whether I thought I could do well. They even had the balls to ask how I thought I would manage at University or getting a job..

Anyway, a few weeks before that meeting I handed a piece of psychology work in. Didn't get it back and the first I heard of it was in the meeting when they told me I did okay in my psychology work. I have handed in law essays all year and have been getting As in everyone.

I got my psychology essay back today - I got 1 mark of full marks which equates to an A. I got an A and they told me I did "okay". Whatever. I also got a B in my religious studies essay, which I have been behind in attendance around 40%. Not good, but I still managed a B and I've handed in a better essay yesterday which I'll get the results back next week. I've also handed in a psychology essay which I'll get back next week too.

Not quite sure what else I can do to make college happy. But I'm happy nonetheless. I am proud of myself and I feel like I'm slowly proving to them that yeah, I have missed a lot of work but I am catching up and I'm doing well.

I was thinking of asking all three of my tutors if they mind marking a past paper I do. I ****ed all of my mocks up, U in 2 and didn't attend one. So I was thinking I might do a past paper for each subject and hand them in to be marked as a basis for what I could have done.

I think I'll need all the luck I can get when it comes to proving to college I can actually be good. My psychology tutor said I have the potential to be an A grade student if I put the time and effort into revising and improve my attendance (simply so I can have all the material).

Anyway, I'm happy. Sorry if I seem like I'm bragging or being self-centered. I'm simply happy I'm achieving well and it's making me see what I can possibly achieve if I work hard.
