Result!

After turning in my dissertation in September, I moved on pretty quickly because I knew it would be months before the result. So, this week, when the course WhatsApp group started popping off again, it caught me by surprise. It was time! And the results came late morning on Thursday, which ruined my starter activity for the sixth formers I had that afternoon because I was too busy Telling Everyone to finish planning it. 

I'm really pleased with this! As I think I've mentioned before, I would have been simultaneously happy and annoyed with a straight Pass. Now I am minorly irked that it's not a Distinction, especially having read the feedback: if I had been able to pace it better and get it to my supervisors for more feedback, I think I could definitely have got it there. But. BUT. I also know that I spent exactly as long on it as I could. There was never a moment spent idle that I could have given to it - the only idle moments were the ones I had to allow to avoid complete burn out (and it was close). I worked three jobs over the past year and spoke at over half a dozen conferences. I didn't cut back at all and that was my choice. 

Listen to me, I don't need to convince you of anything. I'm sure you're quite impressed that I got a merit. I am impressed with myself too!
