Today I've spent 13 hours at uni, had two lectures, one seminar, loads of rice, indian chicken and samosas, and I did the pub quiz they do in our bar at uni... They asked the most absurd questions, like 'write down three states which have a bird on their flag' (I guessed, by pure chance, Fiji) or 'what is the oldest newspaper in the Southern Emisphere', etc. etc. We didn't do too bad. We got 8 1/2 points out of 20, and apparently Kirsty and Liz on their own never get more than 4! It was really a good laugh, and for once I wasn't sitting at home watching telly (but I OBVIOUSLY had to be back by 10 to watch the new season of ER *lol*).
I also got another essay back today. So far I've got 4 back, and they all went pretty well: two for South East Asian Government & Politics (56% and 65%), one for Theory & Evidence in Contemporary Development (68%) and one for Politics of Development (67%). So, now I've realized that it would be impossible for me to get a I, but a IIi seems very possible (for those of you who do not know about English university, a I or First is 70% or above, and a IIi or Two-One is between 60% and 70%, so I've got a rather high IIi at the moment). Which is nice. And it also means that I haven't been THAT bad this year, which is great. Obviously I've still got exams and next year, but it feels like a good start, and a lot better than last year (when I ended up getting a IIii). So I'm a happy and satisfied girl thankyouverymuch, and now I'll go to sleep because I'm so bloody knackered. ;)
