No longer England Blog
I think its time my blog at least changes names. I thought about retiring it altogether, but it will still be here, though I doubt I will write in it as much. Usually I wrote in my blog when I was upset, stressed, or less often, exciting about something. Now my life has been full of change, but nothing that different from what everyone else goes through. And I don’t have to depend on the internet to complain about my life or tell my stories. And I don’t have to wait for everyone else gets up because of time differences. Now I have a cell phone to call people and most of the people I talk to are in the same time zone as me. I live a five-minute walk away from Kyle, and I can see my mom within a couple hours if I want. But I have found I’m not nearly as dependent on my computer as I was in England, so I tend to look at my blog less, not that I wrote it in too much even when I was in England.
As a last update on Oxford, here’s a breakdown of my results:
British Politics and Government 61
Microeconomics 68
International Relations 67
Macroeconomics 68.5
Economics of Industry 66
International Economics 63
International Relations in the Cold War 64
Thesis 67.5
(average 65.625)
Above 70 is a first, from 60 to 69 is a 2:1, so I got a solid 2:1. (Of course, my highest mark was in Macroeconomics, the one I liked least.) I ranked 30th in the 2:1s, which I think had 193 students out of 256 PPEists total, though I don’t know how many of those got firsts. So I didn’t do the best, but I did pretty well. And I passed, so I have an Oxford degree, which I’ll officially get in November. Still don’t know if I’m going back for my graduation, depends on money, but we’ll see.
