(no subject)
Greetings Livejournalians. So the rumours are true. Yes, somehow, I did get quite a good mark on my "end of school test" as Julia would describe it. This comes as rather a surprise given that the exams were absolutely awful. I think it is a testament to the vaguaries of the marking system that I got 80% (and my best mark over the four years) for a module I hated from almost the word go (namely German cinema), got the top mark for German translation despite not finishing the paper and got my worst mark in the module I enjoyed the most. Hmm.
I have to say, I am feeling rather guilty for not being more pleased by my performance. Everybody has been congratulating me, and then chiding me for not being more enthusiastic. I don't know why, but it just doesn't feel that satisfying. I'm relieved of course, but it was at times a bit more of an ordeal than a thing of pleasure and I remain quite content to see the back of it.
Of course, the next thing to get my goat is the continuous "what are you going to do with your degree" question. Is it actually that hard to believe that I neither know the answer, nor have a dream job, and that to be honest I'm not really energised or enthused by anything particularly at the moment. I have plenty of time to think about it, but I suppose the problem is that I don't think I'm ever going to find a job I enjoy completely.
In the meantime...... :o) I'm back in the library tagging my little heart out, and it's so much fun. Julian and Robin are driving me absolutely potty with their sheer laziness and arrogance at the moment. I'm about this close to slapping Julian round the head with one of the heavy art books (you know the ones I mean!), but at least they're not all that bad. Looking forward to seeing Klara, as the company of Anita and Charlotte is like constant stabbing pains in the side of the head (well, not just the side actually - pretty much all over!)
OK, back to work I s'pose. At least there's graduation to 'look forward to'. Big shame that C will not be there. We shall be thinking of you.
Smiley faces everybody.
