last summer i was going to bookcase my room with my father but he insisted on doing it when i was working. so i do not yet know how to make bookcases. i do, however, have forty metres of shelving in my room.
title of my undergrad dissertation, originally marked at 90, which is two hypothetical nonexistent qualifications above a first. marked down to 80 for some patches of sloppiness by a second marker, which i can live with, it still being as far above a first as a first is above a 2:1.
i’m fairly proud of this, obviously. hence bragging. i am starting to think about postgrad, so this one may have to be revived in a couple years. if this website still exists, if the internet still exists, etc.
