Not bad - chuffed to bits that my daughter got a 'First with honours' in English and Creative Writing. No idea what that means* apart from it's an excellent result.

*I left school at 15, before taking all my exams so that I could start work in a factory. So very proud of her ;-) Her substack is here

Suspect your daughter may be downplaying things a bit here...

She got the top result possible. Students who achieve First with honours (sometimes written as 1:1) have to be even better than excellent across their entire degree.

Some years nobody on a particular course will do this well, because it is reserved for the exceptional.

Holy cow!

That's even better than I thought. Even prouder of her now.

Thank you

Damn, Lyle Lovett is good. I might have been the youngest person in the audience, and I'm not that young. Glad I was able to be there!

Pretty great actually. On my first relaxation vacation with no specific agenda in several years. The beach is gorgeous, the breeze is cool and the drinks are flowing. Life can be good, sometimes anyway. Trying not to think about the work stacking up that will be waiting for me on my return.
