I have *finally* got my exam results. The web portal was down so they had to email every student with their grades, which must have been taxing. So...

English Literature, eg the grades that don't actually count.

*The Eighteenth century: Restoration to Romantics - 58. 2.2 or a C. I'm actually surprised that I passed any of my English modules, and ( Read more... )

Congratulations, love! :D You must be so pleased.

I am, quite! Have you got results yet? I'm sure I saw a results update from you but I may be imagining things, I do that with LJ!

Haha, no, AS Level results don't come out until August I'm afraid. :/

Oh right, well I'm sure you'll have done fine! :)

What are your plans after college btw? Are you thinking about Uni or drama school etc?

Congrats on your first!! And the other results, natch. :-D

Thank-yooou! I was so happy about that, and completely not expecting it. I didn't even read The Iliad past Book 2 (there are 24 books, if you want perspective :D). luckily I sparksnoted and remembered The Odyssey well!

And how did you do? I don't see a results update.

We so shouldn't have passed this year :-) Although I am now going to send a lovely email to Sparknotes, thanking them for their contribution to my exam results!

I have now updated :-) There, that's how I did! (2.2 overall if you were interested)

Simon Pegg approves. grey_seas June 18 2008, 19:53:43 UTC

Well done! :D *congratulatory hugz*

Were the exams difficult?

Also, is The Iliad any good? I have a slight urge to read it, but I'm not sure if I should.

SUZY!! Get thee on MSN immediately, I've missed you! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

The exams were okay, I rarely find them *difficult* as such, just...they are usually phrased in a way that makes you have to gather all your mental info and rearrange it. Er...yeah. :)

The Iliad is quite good, but if you don't like warfare it is NOT FOR YOU. Also, there's a lot less of Achilles than I was led to believe. I do love how he throws a strop and sits in a corner for most of the epic, and how everyone is constantly going "wtf Paris, you suck!!" :D
