what are you talking about?
that's amazing. I'm generally a low 2.1 or 2.2. In my one and only Ancient Greek history module I scraped a third

But that's Oxford.
2.1 is like WOAAAAAH.

R__ got a 2.1 and sulked, and blamed fancying some unobtainable girl on fucking up his exams. I am sensible, I try to keep that out of exam season.

Congratulations
A 2.2 is not to be sniffed at, especially if you didn't revise for it. And there's no harm in getting a third on one module if your average is still around a 2.2/2.1.

Anyone who gets a 2.1 and sulks needs to get a grip on reality. Or I'll slap them across the face with my "2.1."

I donno if you can put ".... but I didn't revise for it" on your CV.

This is true
Still, it's only her first year, and they only ever count for a tiny fraction of the whole degree. If she can get a 2.2 without revising for it then it's probably a promising start.

I told him that.
I'm right, he is living in Baron's Court.

I got 3 2:1s, a 2:2 and a First. Not that bad, really.

Hehe, it will amuse me if he has the same landlord I used to rent from (harmless charlatan, resulted in many amusing stories that T and I still reminisce about to this day)
Not that bad? I'd say that's a bloody good start. Nicely done.
