Conflicted.
Jan. 30th, 2012 02:08 pmI got back the results of my essay.
I got 70%. That is a first according to Uni's marking criteria- but only just! One point lower and it would have been a 2:1- which would also have been fantastic, given that I was convinced that I was going to fail. XD
I lost points for some unfortunate spelling mistakes that my computer didn't catch (I hate that the English language has so many words that sound the same but are spelled differently- it really messes with my limited spelling abilities) and for missing out some references. They are stupid mistakes, and I am annoyed with myself from doing them.
Actually- and I feel bad about this- despite being really happy, I am at the same time bitterly disappointed in myself. Assuming I have the ability to not fail, I feel that I should also have had the ability to do better. I know I should have done more research, and spent longer working on it. I also know that Christmas messed around with things a bit, but that can't be an excuse for next time.
Honestly, I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I passed and that's awesome. I didn't get top marks, and for some reason that makes me feel like a twat. >_<;
I think there's something wrong with my brain.
