A New Hope

Well, ye of little faith (I'm talking to myself here, madcap Bonkers fans)!

This week and next week, the exam results are officially published by Universities across the country and I've subsequently discovered my final mark for HIS2033: Imperial China. Remember, the one with the disasterous essay and "what a failings" comments made about it? The one I was certain would require a resit? 66%. That's a 2:1 Degree.

Whoa, that's a freaky picture... anywho, so I'm thinking if I did that well on an essay I thought was a complete and utter Chernobyl mushroom cloud of craptacularness (which I did), perhaps my Politics results next week won't be all that bad...? It's certainly a new hope that's formulated close to the front of my mind. So now the weekend couldn't be looking better: I'm getting a haircut and shave tomorrow, going shopping for healthy food, organising a night out to the cinema and generally feeling much better about stuff.

My new courses are helping, too... all except Middle Eastern Politics, which is tough. And I'm not talking tough as in "Oh no, I have to think about this one for more than ten seconds, panic stations!" tough. This isn't even Space Shuttle re-entry tile tough (which, as it turns out, is pretty weak). No, this is lead-lined armour-plated bullet-proof anti-bomb Presidential limo door tough. Eep.

Gotta love a challenge, though... peace out, ladies and mentalmen. I shall return...
