It’s not fair…
Bah. All of my housemates have finished their exams. All of you state-side have finshed your exams. And I’ve still got an entire week to go!! Apart from myself and my coursemates, I think Hanne and Ferd are the only people I know still doing exams? As a result I’m finding it increasingly difficult to focus on studying when everyone around me is having fun…
On the plus side, Ben and I figured out our averages thus far, and assuming a 65% for our dissertations we are just about safely in the 2:2 range! The real difficulty for me is to reach the next level (2:1) which is what I really want. In order to be safely in the 2:1 range I need to average something like 68% on these final exams, however I might be able to scrape by if I can average 61%. Of course, it’s all subjective really so there’s no definite line as to what classifies as what… the board of examiners will review each case individually to determine the final classification. Oh yeah, and that assumption of 65% for my dissertation could be completely wrong, but from the amount of work I put into that bloody thing I feel I deserve at LEAST 65%!
Well… only time will tell. Our results will be posted on the 2nd of July!! Stay tuned, folks.

bleh…my last exam is on the 25th! so I’ll be stuck in exam-mode for a little while longer…and I’m having trouble maintaining focus as well…you know the drill…read a page, take a 15 minute break, and the read another page, take a 15 minute break…etc.

Ermmm…do we have to come to the department to look on the board for them? I don’t even remember being told that results are announced on the 2nd July?! I’m really confused!
PS for hayfever, try Cetirizine Dihydrochloride 10mg Film-Coated Tablets. They’re prescription though….I stole mine off my bro ;P

There’s a notice on the board that says about the results (well, classifications at least) being posted on 2nd July. I’m currently successfully following the revision plan ferdinand describes. Bloody revision. -_-

I see someone mentioned hayfever. I have been commissioned to bring a bunch of Yank-strength hayfever medicine to the UK for someone else. Need me to bring you some as well?
ps) on a gagné.
