I think I'll stop there, I won't even go into some of the more embarassing things I've done....*cringe*
Oh, I won't be at the Oakdale tonight - my boss has demanded I attend a work dinner, so no beer for me. *sobs* If people are going to be there tomorrow, I may pop in then instead. *hopeful*

Date: 2005-02-25 02:02 am (UTC)#5 Ooh, clever you. I knew a guy who got the top marks they'd ever had in his department, which was maths at Bath and he got an average of 93%. Yuck. I'm curious to know where I am in mine; probably nothing that spectacular, but I gather a row of straight As for Honours is fairly unusual, so I'm guessing that I'm in the top five or ten. I intend to improve upon this, naturally...

Date: 2005-02-25 09:31 am (UTC)I might well ask them, I could do with the ego boost, though I don't know if they'll have done a ranking for third year. Especially considering that my degree is likely to end up unclassified as a result of my finishing it a year early, even though had I been in England this very same amount and type of work would have amounted to a first class Honours. Humph. I'm not too bothered, it sounds like the Open University will let me in for postgrad anyway, in which case I'm about to sign myself up for lots of
scarychallenging and rewardingbooks that I will probably hatebooks that are of major importance in the Western canon. In other words, this will teach me to have skimped over Modernism in my second year. Nah, should be fab really.
