Absolutely Perfect
When I was doing my degree I was always a upper 2:2 student, but was determined to get a 2:1. After the christmas exams in my 3rd year I had worked my average up to a very high 2:2, which meant that I had to work bloody hard for my finals in the summer.

From a couple of months before my exams I basically started living in the library, revising and working all the time (and putting my end away with the missus in the library toilet (John Rylands - Manchester - 1st Floor - 2003)). All this working plus going to lectures and doing my dissertation was really getting me down and wearing me thin.

Forward to 2 months later on results day: I had driven to manchester to get my results (2 hr drive) with my girlfreind, walk into to computer science dept with it in my head I had a 2:2. Walked up to the board where it had all results in classification order.

Started at the bottom.... Not got a 3rd (start to get a smile)
Worked up.... Not on the 2:2 list (smile grows)
Worked up further... Find my name on the 2:1 list, turn around to my girlfreind and the looks on both our faces was amazing. Knowing that we had both worked together for this. For the rest of the day I was so so happy.

Nothing has beaten that feeling.... so far.

Length.... as she says... its worth it
