On Monday everyone’s results were released and I was able to find out what degree classification I had got. I achieved a Second Class Honours: First Division which is a 2:1.
For those of you who do not understand the University grading, a 2:1 is the second highest grade you can get. I couldn’t believe when I found out. I had to double check I’d got theright student number just in case I had got it wrong but I hadn’t. It still hasn’t sunk in yet. I did not think I would do so well because I was doing all my Uni work from home and it was very hard, so it is a huge shock.
I had a lovely bottle of Pink Champagne with my family to celebrate my success which was nice, but the big celebration will be when I graduate in July. It’s only a few weeks away so I am really looking forward to it. It only feels like yesterday I was starting University all shy and nervous and now look I have successfully passed my degree while battling cancer. That is one big achievement. My family, friends and boyfriend are very proud of me and were over the moon when I told them.
Now it is time to start looking for a job. I have to wait a few months before I can begin working properly as I haven’t finished my treatment yet, but it doesn’t stop me looking around and showing that I am still interested and dedicated to getting a job in broadcasting. If anyone is reading this that knows of any jobs in broadcasting then that would be fantastic news and could you please let me know.
On Friday I am off for my next lot of chemo. I should be able to have it as I had that nasty bone marrow injection last week to boost my blood count, so fingers crossed. I am hoping that day the weather is horrible as I hate being stuck inside having my treatment when it is hot and sunny. If only I could have it while sat outside on the grass, now that would be good.
