Today I have a lovely iced coffee and my results! Hurrah! And to add to the hurrahness, I got a 2:1 overall, which is perfectly acceptable. And I've done better on the whole than I did last semester. If I can keep up the improvement curve I might be in with a shot of getting a higher 2:1 next year. I'd like to aim for a first but that's kind of unrealistic if I want to eat, sleep and sometimes see my friends. You know, enjoy my life... Speaking of firsts, you may notice I got another one this semester, for Culture. It was possibly my favourite essay, so that's lovely. And was also marked by my dissertation tutor, as was Poshumanism where I was only 3 marks off a first. So I could aim for a first in my dissertation and 2:1s in everything else and be very happy. It's kind of annoying being 3 marks off a first for 2 modules, and 2 marks off in one. So close! But a miss is as good as a mile. Oh well, I'm still very pleased :). One 2:2, nine 2:1s and two firsts is a pretty good result for such a slacker as myself.

I celebrated last night by sharing a massive steak with dad (seriously, he claimed it weighed a pound. Must have come from a big freaking cow...) and, despite the heat, having a nice hot chocolate before bed with a tiny splash of brandy. I'll celebrate more on Wednesday when Manda and Danielle get here. It's looking up!
In uke news: I have managed to successfully tune my uke and can almost kind of play Sittin' on the Dock of a Bay. Though some of the songs in my books are definitely dodgy... the chords do not sound right at all.
In cooking news: I had a go at making blue cheese crackers. I made ten tiny little bitesize crackers from the dough, they were yummy enough for me to scoff them all before they even cooled, so they are a success. Dough has gone in the freezer to be sliced and baked for cheese&wine times later on this month. Good times!
