I Think This Calls For a Celebration

When the School’s servers crapped out under the strain of undergraduates checking their exam results at noon, I felt a terrible constricting feeling. The law course I took – how would I be graded? And the hard economics stuff – what If I bombed the assessed essay?

Two minutes after checking the results I didn’t know which I way I should sit. I felt like standing on my head. And this is why:

GY220 Environment: Science and Society: 70 (First)
GY222 Economic Analysis of the Environment: 75 (First)
IR200 International Political Theory: 70 (First)
LL250 Law and the Environment: 73 (First)

I know I mentioned last year (half-heartedly and ironically) that all that remains is to get 5 first-class grades out of the 8 remaining papers. Now the ratio is 1 out of 4 remaining. Those are odds I’m willing to take.

These things don’t happen. People don’t get all firsts in a year. In a good way, I am flabbergasted.

    Never let it be known that there was luck involved, bro… It was all you, remember that!

    Oh, and congratulations! It really is all a bit mind boggling, I am sure. :)

    I’ll get you a drink when I come over. (And your guitar)

    Kiitoksia kiitoksia. :)

    It’s been ten hours since I found out the results and even though my feet are back on the ground I’m still feeling a little overwhelmed.

    Bro: A drink? On you? Appreciated – my budget is crying.

    I read your essay when I got in tonight after a night out, and it struck fear into my heart of the “I will never be able to write anything this good” variety. :)

    Onnea sinulle, Kai-kulta, hienosta suorituksestasi. Näin mummi-tasolla edustan kai edesmennyttä Epiä, joka halkeaisi riemusta. Laura ja Jussi tulevat tänään kylään luokseni. Näytän heillekin hienot tulokset.
    Terveisin Lilli

    Emma: Oh stop it. But thank you for thinking it’s good. I’d like to read yours.

    Lilli: Ei tässä voi olla kuin hämillään kaikista onnitteluista. Enää vuosi jäljellä.
