The Non-Appearance of the Beast
Jun. 7th, 2006 10:17 amNow that 6/6/06 has passed and we have all lived through the fourth projected apocalypse of our lifetimes (including Nostradamus night, the Millennium, and the other one in 2002 that I can't remember), I think I can safely write about that favourite among posts - the exam results report.
The story so far: I entered the last semester of university with a 16.4 average, on the sliding shapeless scale of 20 that is designed to be impossible to understand. Nevertheless, this was a frustrating position to be in, because in order to get a first, I needed to average 16.5 or above. So, in other words, everything relied on getting 17s this semester.
( Will I make it? )
Nothing's confirmed yet, though - for my actual classification, I'm going to have to wait until Saturday. However, after a long time navigating the labyrinthine St Andrews website, I was pointed to this reasonably helpful PDF document, which you can use to estimate your own classification, and it looks to me like things are pretty definite.
P.S.: Wine related carnage.
