Highlighter Stars.

I just checked Sussex Direct, and saw that my results from last term for my American History course are up.
I got 70% in my essay, which I’m rather proud of. However, the comments about me seem … less than favourable.

Emma is a very bright student who demonstrated over the course of the term a real aptitude in and affinity for American history. Her class participation mark is not as high as it might have been however. Emma’s contributions were always salient, and she always had something intelligent to say. But, although her attitude had changed by December, the apathetic air she cultivated at the beginning of the term detracted from her otherwise sensible contributions for the first month or so.

Apathetic air? What the hell Tristan, what the hell? I was easily one of the best contributors in the class (though, to be fair, that wasn’t exactly difficult because hardly anyone actually spoke), and I THOUGHT I was always fairly enthusiastic. Apparently not.

So I ended up with a Grade 2. Damn my apathetic air, I could have got a 1.
