P Diddy
Right, where did I leave it last night? *rereads his last post* Oh yeah, I got stopped by the police, not long after hitting the deer. (Note to Capt: the film I was referring to was Deer Hunter, not Taxi Driver. Good effort though) It was an unmarked car, the gits, but as I drove into Corsham, a local town, these blue neons switched on in their front grille. This threw me at first, because at work earlier that night, I was chatting with this guy who said he had blue neons in his front grille, and used to piss off his maters by pretending to be a police car and pulling them over. So, when I first saw these lights, my first thought was that he was messing with me. Not a chance, unfortunately. They'd followed me for a little bit, and when I got out of the car, they told me that they had me on camera doing 43mph in a 30mph limit zone. Generally, that means 3 points on your licence and a £60 fine. The 3 points I can cope with, because my licence is clean at the moment, but my finances are at such a low point that a £60 fine is just too much. For some reason, however, they let me off. No idea why, probably because it was 4.30am, and the roads were completely empty. That, and the fact that I don't actually drive like a maniac. They'd been following me for a while, so I think they saw that I don't drive like a lunatic, and am generally safe, if a little quick. Never mind, I got away with it.
Another downer though. The good news yesterday, passing my first year and all that isn't quite as good as I thought. Yes, I've passed, which is a good thing, but today I got my individual subject scores. From the four subjects that I did, I got a 2:1, a 2:2 and two 3rds. Just to put this into perspective, the grades system at British universities works as follows (best first): a 1st, a 2:1, a 2:2, a 3rd, a Pass and a Fail. I got 65, 56, 48 and 47 on my four subjects, each out of 100. I'm fairly disappointed with the two last ones, mainly because one of them is my favourite subject, and i thought that I'd done a whole lot better in it than that. The other low score is from the exam that was completely cocked-up. Oh well, at least I passed.
The rest of today and tomorrow is pure relaxation for me, I'm knackered after this week at work. Watching TV and playing on my computer, that'll do me just fine.
