Don't ask me how I did it, in honesty I have no idea, but I had a first for my dissertation and one of my final exams. In fact I've only had 30 2:1 credits all year, the rest have all been firsts! I'm over the moon, I still don't know what my final exam result will be, but even if I don't get a first overall my lowest possible mark is a very high 2:1! I feel very lucky after having such a stressful year last year to have had such a wonderful year so I'm over the moon. I've really enjoyed the year and I'm actually really sad that my Undergraduate degree is over, I'm going to miss my friends but we're going to all be relatively close to each other. Some are going on to do masters like I am, others have jobs lined up. I'm now getting ready to start looking at the UKCAT, GAMSAT and BMAT.
I'm hoping that this year I will get high enough marks in those exams to be competitive, if not then I will be taking a year out and reapplying next year! I'm going to keep trying! I'm hoping that eventually I will get there in the end. Although I didn't put an application in last year I'm considering applying for at least one 5 year course to try and increase my chances....we shall see though.
The house is on the market (yay!) so the wheels are firmly in motion for our big move. My other half is also starting uni in September which will be very exciting. I'm encouraged by my success in my BSc and looking forward to the MSc more and more each day. Just waiting for my confirmation of my 2:1 (or above!).
I'm a little nervous about my result for my final exam, although I'm not terribly good at guessing my results, this exam was quite a beast! I suppose it is good practice for the GAMSAT though. I'm trying to decide how I'm going to tackle the revision for that, currently just considering what topics I need to go over. I'm only going to be applying for one GAMSAT uni probably as I don't like the thought of putting several choices down when I don't already have the results in case I'm just wasting choices as I don't know the score.
Anyway, enough rambling on. I'm off to watch 24 hours in A and E on catch up! Thanks for reading :).

Planning
It seems that my life revolves around planning at the moment, booking my UKCAT, planning open days, sorting out my revision schedule for the summer, figuring out my dissertation topic, all requiring lots of planning. I don't seem to have much time to do anything between volunteering and working towards the summer exams and next year! I don't mind because I know that it'll (hopefully) be worth it in the end, but it would be nice to have a little bit of "me" time without feeling guilty and thinking that I should be doing something else instead.
I'm sitting here waiting for my dad to call me so that I can go and pick up something from him, wishing he'd hurry up as I'm wasting time that I should be spending reading for my dissertation so I can send my proposal to my lecturer and have a supervisor assigned to me. I still can't believe that in September I'll be in my 3rd year, this degree has flown by. I've really enjoyed it, I wish I hadn't had the health problems I've had with it but I'm pretty proud of myself for being able to continue with it despite them.
I think today I'm going to meet my dad, finish doing some reading, write a draft proposal, do a spot of note making for my exams and then catch up on some other work. My other half has plans this evening and I'm going too, so I'll probably be shattered by about 9pm, just in time for 24 hours in A and E. Frustratingly I wake up pretty early most days and I'm shattered pretty early in the evening too, which also makes me feel guilty and feel like I should be working rather than crashed out on the sofa.
Anyway, my dad has just called and told me he's not meeting me for over an hour so I'm going to get back to my reading. Hope everyone has at least had the chance to enjoy some of the lovely sunshine we've had, fingers crossed that wasn't our summer.
