Prelims results

[raven]

My prelims results came through. They came through. I passed. Oh my god, I passed. More than that, I got firsts for philosophy and politics. I can't believe it. Bob said he thought I wasn't capable of getting a distinction in philosophy - and he's emailed me to congratulate me. I was really touched.

Oh, yes, economics - six marks off a fail. Six. But I don't really care, apart from that fact I didn't get a distinction overall, which is a shame, but really, never mind. I'm trying not to mind. No, I don't mind. I shall never do economics again. I don't have to resit this paper and so from now it ceases to matter.

Oh my god. I passed and I did okay.

(In other news, I'm a bit of a wreck. Actually a lot of a wreck. I've been sleeping very badly, labouring through constant headaches and spending my days either insomniac or comatose. But more on that anon, because right now I'm feeling pretty good.)

Dude! Go you! *does a little dance*

[gwynnega]

Congrats!!!

[pinkishmew.livejournal.com]

You have been working so utterly hard for this year - apparently totally working yourself down until there was no more work possible - that all I can offer is my congratulations and perhaps a warm duvet and some nurofen. Of course you passed; you bloody well deserve to pass! [hugs] Well done. xx

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

You are by far the awesomest. And you deserved those marks--not just because you are the awesomest (apparently universities do not take this quality into account?) but because you're smart and you worked hard for them. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you.

I never doubted that you were going to do very well indeed - you were worrying sufficiently, at least; and you seem to have this Oxford thing off better than I ever had. Well done - and you don't need to be bothered about economics again.

[in-purple-skies.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! Congratulations, that's fantastic. *flings glitter*

[deepbluemermaid.livejournal.com]

That's fantastic news - congratulations!!!

Are undergrad marks calculated on the same scale as Masters - i.e., 60 = pass and 70 = distinction / first? The ways of Oxford undergraduatiana are still quite foreign to me!

Aww, congrats, Andrew asked after you tonight as he's had his results too & I had to admit you've been very quiet recenetly. Hope you're okay *hugs*

[icepixie]

Congratulations!

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

congratulations! *throws confetti*

[flickgc.livejournal.com]

Yay! Go you!

[thecapitalc.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, darlin'! I knew you'd do it :D

[steerpikelet.livejournal.com]

Well done you!

[amchau.livejournal.com]

Oh, congratulations! On the results, not the headaches, obviously. Well done on not failing economics-- I know you would have liked to do better, but honestly, passing at all is worthy of admiration.

Look after yourself. Your dad mentioned you had a headache on Sunday night, and "constant" is not a good way to have them (is there a good way to have headaches? Probably not). ((hugs)) (Plural because some are 'be well' and some are 'congratulations'.)

Speak to you soon.

[ex-artbox613.livejournal.com]

WoooooHooooooo! Well done you!

Hopefully you're a wreck cos you've been waiting on these results - fingers crossed you're feeling better soon xx

Congratulations on your many passes and first! woot!

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

You for the win! *throws headache pills ala confetti in celebration*

Feel better and feel absolutely fab about yourself, because you just passed your first year with style.

*dances in glitter* Thank you!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And no, not quite; I got distinctions with 70 and 69, but economics was 46 with a pass-mark of 40.

Firsts all the way, although the Philosophy was only just. He did actually put the work in, if only because he wanted to do all kinds of cool stuff over the summer with Richard.

That's the problem with being the sidekick to a hero who's also an academic. You can't just stroll it and get a 2.1, then expect him to take you on adventures over the summer.

(You could call tonight, actually, if you wanted to. I'll be in from 8pm onwards, as it turns out. I promise not to talk about Davy Jones again. Or we can do long e-mails. Or not; whatever you feel like.)

You probably know this already, but one of, if not the, easiest way to book train tickets is to use http://www.thetrainline.com .

wot's so scary about economics? but well done for all

[lady_of_asheru]

I was just thinking on the train home this evening, "I wonder how loneraven did in her exams?" so I have trawled through your past entries to find this - AWESOME! I am so pleased for you. If you are escaping economics what will you be doing next year???

*laughs* Oh, thank you so much. I'll be doing philosophy and politics, plus one law paper. It will be good, I think. :)
