Maid, stop bieng so HARD on yourself, already!!! So confident am I of you that, If you HAVEN'T done wonderfully well, I invite you to dream up a suitably outageous virtual forefit!!!

Barmaid said...

Thank LM, no news to date, looks like it's the waiting game. I'm not even sure how we find out, but assume it is via email?

We have an online system - Cityspace where we're sent to look things up. (Like all the corrections to the overpriced but often incorrect materials they give us, but that's another matter).

Nothing like that for you?

PS- word verification 'aight' - how terribly street!

Hi Mel,

Yes we have a virtual environment called 'Blackboard'. I had a look first thing but no news as of yet. I'm a little baffled because my mock results haven't ever appeared on Blackboard, even though there is a folder for them, so I don't really know whether or not the results only appear in there once the admin team get around to posting stuff in there, ie. at the end of term, or whether the 'real' results appear there on release?

Hope you did well in your results:-)

Maid,

My provider also used Blackboard (meh) but never published results through it. Rather, we had to wait until the study w/e, when they would be passed out in individual envelopes. I personally found this absolute TORTURE but the warm fuzzy feeling of a good result more than made up for all the angst.
I'm sure you'll be fine!

Ooh I don't like the sound of that LM, I have my mock advocacy assessment this weekend, so want to be as calm as possible beforehand, nerves do tend to get the better of me at advocacy time:-)

I am glad that I will never again have to experience the gut wrenching suspense which clicking on that lawcol link inevitably brought. God that was awful. And then, also inevitably, incredibly distressing!

tbh, before I started BVC I thought it would be much better getting a regular drip feed of results, rather than the awful end of year, LLB 3hr exam, but it's just as bad, perhaps more so because so much depends on it now.

Oh well, it seems that I have another day to wait, it turns out that our results are not published until tomorrow.
