Update II
Well, in my last entry I didn't get far beyond mentioning my Myths and Legends party. After this I stayed in Canterbury for another week or too, but I've now been back home in Berkshire for just over 2 weeks.
Home is... home. Rather tedius and dull in many ways, but at least a lot cheaper and with free meals, woo. First week I was back, I spent it sanding down the woodwork and cleaning the walls in my very yellow-and-blue-ten-yr-old bedroom, and painting it. Its all very, very white now, with the same pine furniture although reccently I did persuade my parents to buy me a double bed. I'm still in dire need to buying curtains and duvet covers and things, I haven't quite decided on a colour theme but I'm going to have a look round Canterbury when I head back there in a few days.
Have been job hunting although probably not as much as I ought. I went for an interview for an admin role at a pest control company the other day. Horrible place in the middle of Slough but it did pay rather well. Bit dissapointed not to have heard anything back, but in a way relieved because 40 hrs a week is a bit much. I am however working 2 nights next week at the Venue on campus during graduation so it gives me a deffinite reason to go back.
I've been on a bit of a health kick since I've been home aswell, which is only a good thing. Got temporary mebership back at my gym so been going there pretty much every day to work out and/ or swim (and use the sauna hee) on top of various things like tennis. Went for a walk with Simran around Windsor great park the other day, and we managed to get lost, walking about 7 miles in total.
Other thing I've been really enjoying reccently has been being able to read. Just reading for fun is something I dont have time to do at uni so I've been getting through quite a lot now. I finally read Labyrinth by Kate Mosse the other day, and managed to find the sequel Sepulchre for 50p at a car boot on Sunday. I do however have to read through a lot of Middleton plays for my dissertation aswell as it will save me A LOT of time over the term if I do.
And finally, last monday my university results arrived in the post. Was quite a surprise as I was not expecting them until this monday, and I was not especially pleased. Especially with my exam results for the Shakespeare Tragedies which at 57% happens to be the lowest mark I've got since coming to university in what can only be my favourite module. In fact, as expected all my exam marks seem to have dragged down my overall marks, except for in Medieval and Tudor literature which was the exam I was most worried about and yet managed to do rather well.
Anyway, my marks for 2nd year:
Shakespeare and his contemporaries I: Comedies
Essay 1 [20%] – 68%
Essay 2 [20%] – 70%
Seminar Performance [10%] – 85%
Exam [50%] – 64%
OVERALL MODULE MARK – 68%
Shakespeare and his contemporaries II: Tragedies
Essay 1 [20%] – 67%
Essay 2 [20%] – 70%
Seminar Performance [10%] – 80%
Exam [50%] – 57%
OVERALL MODULE MARK – 64%
Medieval and Tudor Literature
Essay 1 [20%] – 68%
Essay 2 [20%] – 68%
Seminar Performance [10%] – 68%
Exam [50%] – 67%
OVERALL MODULE MARK – 68%
Early Modern Literature
Essay 1 [20%] – 68%
Essay 2 [20%] – 67%
Seminar Performance [10%] – 67%
Exam [50%] – 62%
OVERALL MODULE MARK – 65%
I ended up completing 2nd year with an average of 66% which all things considered is a fairly good mark, but because my coursework marks had been rather high I couldn't help but want a higher mark. Even one percent would have been an improvement, but was just annoying averaging lower than my lowest coursework score. BUT nevermind, 66% is not bad as it is higher than the 65% I need to do the MA I want, and with next year to make improvements.
