bedlamsbardGuess who finally has her official degree results? GUESS WHO HAS A MASTER'S DEGREE?
...guess who now has to start making serious plans to go back to England in January for graduation?
(I'll be in England for about two weeks with my mother. If there's somewhere in England suitably touristy that's accessible in winter, please let me know, because gods know Leicester isn't exactly the most touristy place in the world (hahahahaNO). My dad will be in Cambodia, because ha, the idea of my father visiting me somewhere that isn't a subtropical East Asian country is pretty absurd. Okay, actually he'll be in Ellensburg, since the new term will have already started, but still; he'll be in Cambodia in December.)
Now I just have to figure out if there's a way to convert my English grades into an American GPA for my grad school applications. With Merit is good, yeah? (Bizarrely, my dissertation results are much higher than my marks for my classes, because of...reasons...probably because I spent way more time on my diss than on any of my papers, let's be honest.)

It's pretty, touristy and I think their Christmas market should be starting soon (I missed out when I was there; it didn't open until after Thanksgiving). My friends and I went on a day trip from London and it was only about 1.5 to 2 hours by train.

Date: 2013-11-23 02:14 am (UTC)No, we'll be going in late January/early February for graduation, which is January 24. I was thinking about Bath -- I went in July 2011 when I was in England for my Cambridge summer program, but didn't get a chance to go this past year.
