Long time no see!

I'm sorry, I've just been informed by my brother that I haven't posted anything for a month now!!  I have no excuse save dissertation, essay and revision - are they good enough?

The paperwork is all now handed in, so there's nothing I can do but sit and wait for the results to be published - it's going to be pretty tricky walking around with crossed fingers, toes and arms, but I'll do my best.  I wonder if it will work?  No, you're right, of course it won't!  Oh well, just wish me luck for my exam on the 10th - come Monday lunchtime I'll be in the pub with some other students, trying not to feel sooooo much older than them, and we'll be celebrating the fact that this stage is over.

I'll then be debating whether or not to put in an application for my MPhil/PhD, or not.  If I believe I've got a first, then I will, if not, I'd just be wasting everyone's time, as I can't justify the expense of a PhD when I don't need one:(

Everyone says "don't worry, you'll be fine", which I'm sure is done with the best of intentions, but, at the end of the day, what will be, will be - in fact, it's done - well, except for the exam.  I reckon I'm good for about 60-63% in the exam, that's all, and on a good day, as I  have a memory like one of those things that don't hold water very well.  So, the names of characters in books, plays etc and all their memorable lines will be jumbled, or mis-accredited, and the dates, if I remember any, will be allocated to the wrong events, hence only 60ish percent.  Give me an essay any day!!

Well, that's it for now, time to return to some books to the uni library, then more revsision before bed.  I really will post something interesting soon - honest!

  1. I'm getting those comments. 'I'm sure you will be fine' is all I hear these days! People think I've gone into hiding and some people know to stay away from me until it's all over. I cannot wait to celebrate! You will get that first though and you will get on that course. Just as I will get any job I want damn it. :D xxx
