swiss holiday fallout

The people on xanga heard about me and my pathetic attempt at an essay over my swiss holiday. What with typing on a German keyboard (Zs and Ys swapping places, funny dots, swirls and lines over my As and Us - yes yes I know there's a technical name for it. Tell me if you know) and whatnot.

I've been So Deathly Afraid of checking my results I've procrastinated and the one time I checked (it wasn't out yet) I took to peeping at it from behind my fingers. I was half relieved and half annoyed that my torture hadn't ended yet.

So I turned up today at uni and the lovely Admins Babe checked it for me while I averted my eyes, and rifled my way through the stack of essays.

Please, please, please. I'm looking for a P. Just as Pass.

I find it and gingerly flip it open to find 2 post-it notes full of miniscule handwriting...and my mark.

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











WITH AN HD
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




I was only 3 marks short of a high distinction overall.

I was SO RELIEVED I nearly hugged the computer and Admins Babe.

Apparently despite my crazy 24h turnaround overnighter in Singapore and a 5 hour stint in a swiss internet cafe on a German keyboard with no english spellcheck in sight, I'd somehow managed to pull an HD out of NOWHERE. (or my ass, depending on which way you look at it)

GAWD. I AM SO RELIEVED.
