Criticism & Culture: The Ladies' Paradise :-(

[changeling67]

The results are back and many people are very unhappy.  The student's forum lit up and many are in tears.   I too, was heartbroken and just bawled my eyes out.  Yes, I have passed - but so low.  How can someone who is cruising near a first tumble to the bottom of the seconds? These marks are seriously screwing my averages.  At least 2 have only got 40% which is just a pass - another asked me to call her and told me to buck up and breathe a sigh of relief that I passed (which actually I appreciate - even if she was drunk).

I am so glad I took the decision to do this over 2 years.  Right now, I am in bed nursing my ego and a bottle of scotch a hot water bottle. Hate this bloody year :'((((

Yuck! Something is seriously wrong with the professor when grades come out like that.

I have passed

I do not understand the grading system in your country-from what I have gathered is that one can not go on to advance degrees if they do not have certain grades-like if you wanted to get a Ph.D. you pass or advance to a certain level-please explain-glad you passed-peace

Firstly that is a TREMENDOUS pic. SOOOOO telling! Oh deary me, it is so TRUE!

Ahem, wipes eyes - they're a bit dewy.

OH LOVE... can't quite figure out that by ' At least 2 have only got 40% ...' means that two of your papers only got 40%? Or that two others only managed that? Whatever, it IS a pass, and with the year you've had love, I'm jolly glad it IS a pass, whatever! You live to fight another year! And bawling your head off - (eyes out) is a good thing, cos it does relieve the horrible inside pressure (like a pressure cooker with the damn release knob stuck down!) You howl your head off... good for you. Lotsa sobs and hiccups and... sniffings. and then you'll pick yourself up, feeling slightly embarrassed at making a silly ape of yourself... and LIFE WILL BE GOOD AGAIN!

BUT YOU PASSED!!! so next year you'll be all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, KNOWING the secrets have been shown to you this year by you stumbling along and only tripping over the 'revelations'! It's like tying shoelaces, the first time is damned difficult, the second, easy peasy! (sort of!)

You just forget all this nonsense now, and go ahead and have a lovely lovely holiday time. Go walkies and throw stones in the sea, and watch the sun go down .. its nice and early so you can then go home to supper!

I'm having the most tremendous argument with Amazon about the ebook... I'm sorting those bastuds.... 'THERE WILL BE BLUD AND SLAYING' if they don't come up with it before Xmas!
