Got my results last night, they came out around 1.  I ended up not getting to sleep till 4, so I've had 2 1/2 hours sleep.  I got 75% average, so I got my 1st, which is good as I bought the champagne in a couple of days ago.  So I have finally managed to pass a 1st year!! Yay!!  I got 86% for programming 1, 78% for programming 2, 84% for quantatative methods,. 73% for IT and Pro skills, 70% for software engineering and HCI and 57% for computer systems (which ruins the look of it but hey).  I felt a little bad when everyone else I spoke to last night was facing resits.  I will probably speak to my supervisor to see if I can get a breakdown of my results, I would like to know what I got for my coursework.

I thought I may as well do my flag rant on here, everyone else has heard it.  It really bugs me that as a country England only ever shows any sense of patriotism or national pride when the world cup is on.  I find the concept of "we won" really annoying, I'm like "No, WE didn't, some guys on a football pitch somewhere did".  I am not against national pride, I grew up in Scotland where people were truly proud of their heritage, I do see it as a positive thing.  Furthermore, all these cars with england flags flying really make me cross.  The fact that so many people are willing to so heavily increase their fuel consumption and pump all those excess fumes into the atmosphere out of some sort of patriotist fever really makes me mad.  My brother-in-law has england flags up inside his car, that only bothers my internal snob really.  He brought round two car flags for Littl'un which he had got free somewhere.  I suppose she can't help being English, I just won't let her leave the house with them.
