The exam results were released this afternoon but I've only checked my results just now.
I managed to get the grade I wanted for Gothic Properties, and it's actually lower than the grade I got for Cultural Studies (which is taught, if you don't know already, by The Bishop as Pei calls him). The ways of the gods are mysterious, but I guess I can take this as a sign that I will most likely be able to write my Masters thesis on manga relatively successfully.
It feels a little strange to be receiving my results for the first time as a graduate student and a scholarship recipient. It seems like a mark of adulthood. When I was an undergrad, getting good grades meant getting rewarded with a place on the Dean's List, possibly an award, and a small present from my parents.
Now, I give my mother a monthly allowance, and I'm expected to get good grades or I'll lose my scholarship and my chances of getting another one in the future.
Growing up is a frightening business.
