sixteen to go.
Sixteen days of waiting for results that is, but worry not, there won't be a countdown for that one!
Today then... Despite having the least idea of how it might mark of eveything I've done, it's been by far the exam I've enjoyed sitting the most. A question around the subject of identity and the body, and a question centered around the subject of identity and relationships; what's not to love? 
I even got to mention The Butler in one answer, and Fucko (a pet name shared with a friend for French uber-cleverman Michel Foucault) in both! And it was all relevant to the answer I gave and a natural extension of arguments, rather than shoe-horned in! I realise that this will mean nothing to all but a couple of people, aside from making people think 'You sad bastard', but sometimes geeky joy wins out over maintaining a sense of decorum.
I have to admit though, as fun as the actual time writing has been in every case, I'm not going to miss the associated feeling of random mild (and not so mild!) stress that comes along with the whole experience. At least next time there won't be as many to do! I do want to thank everyone that's offered support or well wishes though, it's been nice to hear 
Anyway, a sembelance of 'normality' is going to return now hopefully, and that might even mean a slightly less boring blog or two

Ahhh, perfect. I sometimes wish my course had exams - I'd love something like this in an exam situation. As it happens, it's partly the basis for my dissertation (but of course with some BDSM thrown in there too). Good times! Glad they're all over If you hate a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then you'll be a mile away and have his shoes. http://obliterarti.wordpress.com/ | |

Interesting! I may pick your brain about this at a slightly later date, but incase I forget, hooray for clever people doing interesting things! When a man loves a woman it should be understood, | |

16 feckin days!!!!!!!! Are you the only student at your uni????  It's been 39 days since my last exam (44 since my first!) and not even a sniff of results yet! (I can't believe I just counted that!) Hope the results are what you want when you get them anyway! And I bet you're glad they are over! "...

Well given the vast numbers of people leaving well before the end of every exam, a lot of the various scripts are going to be really short, so won't take as long
Fingers crossed for your results heralding 'good things' too, when they eventually appear! When a man loves a woman it should be understood, |
