I'm rather happy
I'm not normally one for attention-seeking, but I got my degree results today, and I got a 1st. So I'm rather happy, and expect lots of congratulations and green blobs. So, yeah. I have a job, a good degree result. Now I just need somewhere to live....

Awesomeness
Well done - If I get anywhere near that i'll be dead chuffed.
P.S. Todays mood can be described as: Strangely silly and faintly detatched from reality

You're not happy until you've been alone with Marilyn Manson.

Re: I'm rather happy
Sorry I know you've probably said this before, but what was your degree in and where did you get it from?
Congrats either way.

its the way british university degrees are classified.
britain being britain there are some differences and no universal system applies to all universities. at different points in history different universities have had widely different systems. most notably oxford which refused to recognise 2:2's until the 1970s and awarded a 4th class (all othe universities lowest grade was the 3rd)
In the good old days degrees were either 'fail (gent), pass (BA) or honour pass (BA hons)' the words in brackets go after your name when signing formal documents.
present classification is 1st, 2:1, 2:2, 3 rd, pass, and fail in most british universities.
thus Symm has achieved the highest degree he could. it's a remarkable achievement because firsts are notoriously rare and require a lot of effort and inteligence.
this is why we're all so proud of Symm, sorry, Mr Symm BSc (Hons)

Re: I'm rather happy
American Universities are different but it sounds like it would be suma cum laude which is the highest honors here. Or at least so I am told never having any reason to worry about any kind of honors.
At any rate, a very impressive achievement, no wonder you are happy. Attention and green blobs are your natural due on a day like today.

Re: I'm rather happy
Well dome SYMM. Oh, and by the way is n`t there an even lower class of degree than an ordinary pass? I could be wrong here, is n`t it called an "Aggregate degree"; awarded based on your course work if you could n`t (for medical reasons for example) attend your final examinations. Not really worth the paper it`s written on I guess.

Re: I'm rather happy
At my uni the only thing lower than a 3rd was a fail. I've never heard of this aggregate degree of which you speak.

Just to add to this.
They all stand for:
1st = Class I Honours
2.1 = Class II First Honours (i think)
2.2 = Class II Second Honours (i think)
3rd = Class III Honours
Pass = Pass (just a degree, no Honours)

3rd = Third Class Honours, Either you are not very clever at all, or you are verging on alcoholism, Urine will fall from the heavens for you.
Pass = Pass (just a degree, no Honours)You couldn't be bothered doing an extra year you lazy ****. Vomit will fall from the heavens for you.
