Brilliant.

I had a setback in wk 7 when I was ill, and had 2 wks off.

I decided to repeat wk 6 when I was able to get out and about again, and it was definitely harder the 2nd time around.

Keep going and you'll be graduating before you know it.

That's right, but I've been lucky (touch wood :-) ) with regards to illness and injury couch.
