Arg...
Just got my 2nd year University results. Mostly IIii and III. That would be okay, but most all of my friends are going to be getting IIi and firsts.

Meh
University is overrated, everyones got a degree these days.

Having a criminal record is where its at right now, employers want can do people

Ach bollocks to it
It's a learning curve - you'll find that about 6 months before you finish it'll all seem a lot clearer. And if you do a dissertation you really enjoy that makes everything loads of fun too :D

No because

kinda
except, for me there were one or two things that i only understood a few months after graduating when it finally dawned on me what the hell the lecturers where trying to explain.

luckily, i still passed the exams though.

Jings!
I work with a scotswoman who regularly uses "jings!" as an exclamation. It's like living in The Beano.

Aye absolutely

In the absence of Robin
I feel obliged to point out the historical and literary precedence of "aye" over "yes" ... but I can't be arsed.

Ah in fairness
I'm a born and bred southerner but I've used 'Aye' for years. Although that's probably over exposure to fantasy books and sword & sorcery films.

Some people spend their third years cramming and working like bastards
and they generally improve a grade or two. I spent mine getting utterly cunted and got the same as I was expecting.

The difference between IIi and IIii for most jobs (unless you want to do postgrad or study-specific work) is pretty negligible anyway.

this
there are three kinds of employer:
the kind that doesn't care if you have a degree,
the kind that wants everyone to have a first,
the kind that takes everyone else.

yeah
I worked out, provided I do pretty well next year (yeah right, with this website grabbing my every waking hour) I could pull into a IIi....
