Still typed 2024.
Only three days before the deadline for the D6 portion of the WSET Diploma on Virginia and I am far from finished, even with the first draft.
I have spent my life doing exams and submitting papers, and I am none the wiser on how to do it in an organised fashion.

Submitted the D6. Feeling unhinged. Prior to submission, I did what I used to do (ten years or so ago!!!) and passed it through an online plagiarism tool. It came back saying 90% plagiarism!!!!
My heart sank.
I upgraded to the paid version, and when I did that? The plagiarism disappeared. Isn’t that illegal? Did that twice. Once with a tool called Justdone AI, and the other ExpertChat. Same story.
Anyway, still feel like there’ll be something wrong with it and that, ultimately, I am a fraud.

Slurping Sherry at 10am. Breakfast of Champions in preparation for D5 that will happen in 5 days. WSET says the acidity of Sherry is Low to Medium, but find that the wines I’ve tasted to be High or, at the very least, M+. Details. Also, I am getting confused with Amber and Brown when it comes to Amontillado/Palo Cortado and Oloroso. More details.
