Seeing as this blog is meant to be about my student experience - thought I'd add that I got an email from my Faculty office today telling me that that last essay I wrote (the one I handed in over a week late without arranging an extension, because I couldn't get into it and thought it was rubbish when I did eventually get round to writing it at way after the last minute) got 76%! I'm not sure if that includes the marks that would have been taken off for handing it in late, but whatever - I just can't get my head round this at all. If I'd had to mark it I would have given it a much lower mark (that is, if I'd got to the end without falling asleep or wanting to take out my eyes with a spoon or something). So now I'm worrying that I've been giving my 1st years too low a mark for their essays.
Gah, why am I worrying about 1st year essays now? I haven't got to mark any more till Christmas and I'm on holiday! Must.Get.A.Life.
