(no subject)
I'm feeling marginally smug. They've changed the way they return our marks this year so I checked my old modules on our Blackboard Interactive site and saw a tab called 'results'. It opened to an excel document full of all our essay marks (all done anonymously with our student numbers, no ones names), which was cool as I knew all my marks anyway. What I didn't know is that last semester, based on essay marks, I came top of both modules =D Nigel Aston (Satan disgused as a lecturer) has given out ONE first so far in our French Revolution module, to me (actually, it's really random. There's all these 59s and 64s and then there's this lone 77) and for Church and State I got the only two firsts he gave out. Okay, so my confidence as a historian has been growing since I started University but to be top of two modules in my third year? That's insane: I'm the girl who barely scraped a B at A Level. My exam marks will probably knock them down but I'm on a bit of a high knowing this. He obviously likes the way I write.
This will all change when he reads my next essay on Napoleon Bonaparte
