results day

So today was the day to open up my DMU and see just what my 3 years of uni ammounted to.

It ammounted to a 2:2. Am I happy or not? I'm not really sure. everybody says it's good, but I'm not convinced. I was a measly 3% off a 2:1, but I think that's the wrong way to look at it. The way I should be looking at it is that either way it's still an achievement.

Considering I spent most of my uni time living at home and travelling back and forth, and without access to the library as and when I needed it, I don't think it's bad going. I've lost myself over the past three years, but I've still gone and got myself a degree anyway.

I'm not sure how much of an effect those numbers have on job applications...I suppose 2:1 or even 1st looks better on a CV or in an application, well it is, but being good in theory doesn't neccessarily mean that a person is good in practice. I suppose though that's the shallowness of the real world. It doesn't seem to care much for being good, you have to be able to hold up a piece of paper to say that you actually are good.

The job application process is difficult I will say. It's hard to get personality into a job application, and with so much competition about at the moment it's tough in general to look good amongst loads other who possibally haven't been out of full-time employment for an absolute age.

Oh well, try try and try again.
