Remember that Maths exam I took a little while ago? We got our results today.
I got my D! 57%! Which is about twice what I was expecting! So I only need 42% on Core 4 in June to get an A overall.
Phewee. Pressure off, no resit required.
Though the thing is, when I thought I was done for, I asked Mum if she'd pay for a resit. She snapped, "No," like I was stupid and stormed off. Now she tells me she was joking, and when I say, "Well, I don't need to resit anyway," she says, "I think you should. Resit. Just for insurance."
Insurance? For pity's sake, I need less than half marks on the next exam, and it's EASIER than the one I just did and got MORE than half marks on! I don't WANT to do an extra exam in June - as if I'm not taking enough (3 Latin, 2 English, 2 Classics, 1 Maths), I've been talked into 5 General Studies ones as well. FIVE! Ugh.
And today was going so well until she said that.
Shadowbyrd got back from LJMU, and things hadn't gone too terribly, apparently... (Correct me if I'm wrong, here. ;) ) And she brought me in some cherry blossom. Quite randomnly. But it smelled lovely and looked pretty and I kept it safe for the rest of the afternoon (though I think I freaked one of my Maths teachers out when I had it stuck on the end of a pencil and would sniff it whenever I was thinking... :D).
Saw Griffin and glomped her multiple times, as Ithreatened promised to yesterday on MSN. So that was good too.
And I got a Jantolution fic up, did some work on a couple more fics, got some nice comments, had my homework done for first lesson this morning and watched a video second lesson, kind of skived General Studies (I was busy, okay?) and was vaguely organised at morning/afternoon registration when our form tutor was off and someone else was trying to work out who was meant to be in and who not...
Kuh. On average it was a good day.
