Not to be rude, it's only natural to strive for missed opportunities, but the boundaries have to be set somewhere and there will be thousands of students in exactly your situation Robson. There will also be thousands of students 1% above the grade boundary that might not 'deserve' that reward... life's life and a 2:1 is cause for lots of celebration anyway! Go get drunk.

I'm sorry, I don't agree with that attitude Salathe, get ready for my big opinion of the day

If 1% is what Robson needs to be happy, then he does right in going for it. Why settle for second best when he can try his hand and haggle for a first class degree? I'd be doing exactly the same in his position

Opinion over, god damnit I love your signature!

That sucks. Come on, I'm sure you're cool with atleast one lecture to give you that percentage. It's just 1%. Anyways, don't dwell on it too long to get depressed or angry. Just enjoy what you have and remember you're better off that many.

Actually to get 1%, it means 20% somewhere. I've already shot off 3 e-mails regardless, i'll blag the first.
