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... )

i, also, know exactly what you mean about the uni marks. i'm so determined to get a distinction for my masters as i only missed out on a first for my ba by about 2%, which was somewhat infuriating! i'm sure you'll be fine though - 75% for your first year is a pretty impressive result :) - good luck!

Oh no - you must have been so annoyed, I know you worked really hard.

I'm starting to think last year's mark must have been a fluke, although quite a few of my marks were high 60s then too, I just pulled it up in other areas. This year I've only had too marks back so far and they have both been high 60s so I feel as if I've a lot of making up to do. I'm revising now for Monday's law exam so hopefully I'll do ok in that.

Good luck with your distinction!

hah! I can't spell, no wonder I'm not getting firsts ;)

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 ;)
