Degree

Post: # 240413Post Merry »

I got my finals results and degree classification yesterday.
I got a First.
Does that make me brainy?
Well, I read the notification wrong and thought I hadn`t even been awarded an Honours degree, just a BA.
I cried with disappointment all night.
My study buddy pointed me to the right bit of the notification.

Aw, thanks folks.
My degree`s in Eng Lang &Lit.
You`d think that my reading comprehension would be better than it was wouldn`t you?

Very well done! I don't think the letters after your name change who you are - apparently there was someone who always wrote FEP after his name, it took years for someone to ask what it meant - it turned out to mean "Failed Eleven Plus" :lol: As for me - the letters after my name kinda spell Dippy Bit - maybe appropriate after all! :lol:

But damn it how happy we'll be!

No more formal study - can`t afford it! Got a lot of financial help with my first degree cos I`m poor but funding stops now.

Could this be - - - perhaps - - - whisper it - - - the year I finish the quilt?
