wrong course?!?!

I just couldn't believe my eyes this afternoon. I was praying so hard for a 'pass' for my history module, I had NO IDEA what mark I would get, and was just hoping that it would even out to a pass rather than a dreaded fail... So I grit my teeth, and go into the departmental office, after some slight confusion as to which module I wanted the results from, and of the receptionist being totally confused, and telling me that I would have had to have taken an exam as well, and she was shocked that I hadn't taken one, I finally glanced over at my result...

and guess what...

a blimmin' 72% !

This was for someone who had NEVER written a history essay in her life before, and gave up in year 9 (when the first opportunity arose!) I was happy, yeah, but it was mixed with some feelings of annoyance, why oh why haven't I got a first in my primary subject, which I love?!? Maybe I tried harder for this essay cos I knew that I couldn't do it, so I put more effort in...but its just shockingly annoying!

don't be annoyed...u got a first!! maybe u just worked harder on it becuase u were worried u wouldn't do so well and were too confident about the others so didn't!!

sometimes we're not so good at the things we think we are and are better at the things we aren't!
