But well done you!!

Well done! I chair our local River Users Group meetings and it's tough! especially when I'm invariably the only woman in the room :/

Wow, well done! I chair a committee regularly but have managed, over time, to 'get the right people around the table' which is the first rule of easy chairing! An in-house postgrad conference is a different matter altogether, I'm impressed

Thanks all. I was chairing the musicology session and had to come up with questions about Schubert and Berlioz. Not my forte. Was very nervewracking - so glad it's over

My knowledge of Berlioz extends as far as 'Scales and Arpeggios'

I've just relived undegrad results day all over again today. Our results got released and once again, even though I got a Merit, it's nowhere near what I was hoping for. The worst is that I worked my arse off for this degree, and I feel incredibly stupid because my best is, quite frankly, rubbish.

The comments on my dissertation basically said that it was a pointless topic and I shouldn't have bothered with it, the exam that I thought I'd nailed came back with yet another mediocre grade and overall, I'm very disappointed. And everyone is trying to cheer me up by reminding me that I did get a Merit, but I can't help but feel miserable and stupid. It's just a matter of pride, I know that at the end of the day this grade won't count for much, but it definitely shuts the PhD door for me and I have no other academic chance to do better, now.

I'm gutted.

Leaving aside the fact that this is clearly a disappointment (for which I am truly sorry; I have been there and it really hurts) a merit definitely doesn't shut the PhD door. It might make funding a bit harder, but a 2.1 and a merit is perfectly viable for admission. If when the dust has settled you want someone to go through the comments with you from the outside, I'd be very happy to talk to you over email or skype - when you first see them you're inclined to be fatalistic but they probably aren't as negative as they seem.

Masters degrees are hard programmes. They're selective for a reason. I would say that getting a Merit from a very good university is no small achievement and you have every reason to be proud of yourself even if it doesn't feel that way right now.

Urgh, almost a month on since what happened happened and I'm broken, properly broken, Not slept properly in that month either. I guess the more you care, the more it hurts and right now it's ****ing painful.

Am I right in thinking this is for people who've also been thrown in the big bad world?

Lots of names I recognise here. I've been busy being a GOG for years now but I'm heading back to uni in September with any luck.
