2:1, 68.4%

Yes, it is irritating to know that it could have been a 1st if the grades were distributed differently between papers, or if I'd got 1% extra on one of them. But a 2.1 is a Good Thing, given that last time round I missed a third by about 1%.

Painfully Cambridge anecdote: A Christ's fellow objecting to student representatives on the college council, since they'd be "oversexed young men with three testicles"

Bonus cambridge-ism: going to get my breakdown from my Dos, and being served the same wine he'd put on for the queen a fortnight ago. This is the advantage of running the college wine cellar, although perhaps it's also proof that he's not much of a monarchist.

Triumph of feminism: The same Christ's fellow regularly eating a sumptuous meal in college, and then going off to drink port, often by himself. All the while he left his wife in the car outside, eating sandwiches.

Retalliation: I have quite a reputation for not returning library books on time. My DoS, in his infinite wisdom, decides to go through his email and read out all the fines I've been given, and all the emails from the librarian grumbling about me

Perverse complaint: Am I the only person who ever gets annoyed when they do *too* well? My history paper was a joke. I didn't have a single supervision for it, only wrote two complete essays over the year (and didn't show them to anyone), and screwed up two of the three essays in the exam. I very obviously deserved a third. And yet, they gave me a 2.1 for the paper. This is ridiculous, and proves that arts students really can bluff it all without working. Bah!

:o that is terrible. Somebody should tell her they allow divorces nowadays. Or maybe she really, really likes eating sandwiches.

But hey, well done on the 2:1!

I have never met anybody with three testicles. Maybe the fellow should just vote for female student representatives? Somebody should suggest it. What field was he in and am I likely to meet him?

A mathematician, but (I think) retired now. Called Stein, or something similar-sounding. His logic was that it was cheaper for him to take the college food, and tradition dictated that he should go to the 'combination' afterwards, even if he was the only one combining.

I've never *knowingly* met anybody with three testicles, but I've rarely felt the need to check.

Well done!
So, what's next?

I wish I knew :)

In the short term, I'm afraid it's a case of finding something to stay alive once I reach my overdraft limit in a few weeks. In the longer term, the crystal ball is dark. Decent chance I'll still be in Cambridge in 6 months time, though.

Good luck!
