I suppose I'm a little disappointed because my last essay got a 73, a mid 1st and only 7 marks off what is classed as 'almost publishable'. So for this medieval essay I kind of expected another first since the essay topic was both one I love and one I have studied previously.
I expected more. And I am annoyed at myself because I forgot to attach a bibliography, and god knows how many marks that lost me.
But I need to remember that this essay was due on the Tuesday, when my granddad died on the Sunday. I had finished the essay on Saturday night, but it had not been edited at all before I submitted it. I like to edit essays over and over and over, and with this one I simply couldn't. This also explains why I forgot the bibliography. I was printing off and signing the cover sheet at 11:30pm the night before it was due. My brain simply wasn't in the right place.
So I don't know why I'm complaining that I got a pretty good mark for an unedited essay with no bibliography off a pretty harsh marker. I do not want to be THAT person that complains for getting an A over an A*, but all my grandad wanted was for me to do well. All he ever wanted was for me and my sister to get good grades, and now I sorta feel like I let him down. It's by no means a bad mark, I just know I could have done better and if I would have just remembered that bloody bibliography!!!!
But anyway, that's my moaning over with. I think I just needed somewhere to complain...
On a brighter note... My mum and & dad brought a puppy home on Saturday!! It's not all doom and gloom!
