I hate my own stupid high standards. I just got my law assignment result and it wasn't a first. It was three marks off so all is not lost but I know I'll be so disappointed with myself if I don't have a good base (eg a first grade!) for next year. I also think it would be fairly crap going to get a lower aggregate mark than last year (75), what ( Read more... )

You need to be as proud of yourself as your friends are!! You're doing a fantastic job with your course :D I know how frustrating it is to just miss out on something, but I managed to (just) get a 1st for my BA after getting 2:1s every year except the final year so you're well on track!

Good luck with the rest of your work for this year, you'll have definitely earned a summer of relaxation :)

Good advice! Thanks for sharing your experience, it does give me hope. I'll just have to make a special effort next year, although I have to admit the thought of doing my dissertation while on placement and writing a placement report is not appealing to my unorganised self ( ... )

I know that feeling, time organisation is as hard as the work itself and it's something I still haven't mastered ( ... )

Bless you for going to such effort - thanks! I'll definitely try Body and Society, it might give me a bit of a different angle. If you do look through your lit review, there's no rush, I've got a law exam on Monday afternoon so I've abandoned working on this until Monday evening so I can give revision my full attention. Well, my full attention shared with LJ it seems ;)

It's the best journal ever!! There are so many amazing articles in there (yes I know I'm a nerd).. I'll have a look through my lit review for you on Monday.

I'm sure the PhD can withstand a little break for some wine drinking :D hopefully see you soon! Enjoy Nightmare if you're going and say hi to people from me :)

I'll have to try hard not to get distracted then ;) Often, when I'm in the backdated journal section of the library - it's tucked away and quiet and feels as a proper library should - I get distracted by all sorts of interesting things. It's funny how it only happens when I urgently need to get on with things.

I think drinking wine will actually help your PhD, I need some more time to come up with a reason why. We can discuss it over the wine! :P

I've stayed in tonight to revise but it's been quite a pleasant evening and I had a lovely walk with Lulu - rock and roll! I hope you enjoy celebrating, I will be there in spirit but tucked up in bed in person.
