After taking my French exams at Oxford over a period of two weeks at the end of May I finally received my results after a long wait. As it is a humanities subject everything gets marked twice to make sure that there is no bias, which means that the release schedule for the results is much slower than for science subjects. Because of this I got my results long after most of my friends, but I have to say I was not disappointed! I got a 2:1 with my strongest papers being my 1500 word dissertation in French and my Modern Period Paper (specialising in Surrealism, Theatre of the Absurd and The 19th Century Short Story.) My translation papers, including my Special Paper on translation where I worked on two French texts (Le Balcon by Genet and René by Chateaubriand), were also high 2:1s, which left me feeling very pleased with my performance; some of them were very challenging but I succeeded thanks to the hard work and dedication I approach my work with.
That’s all for now.
