POV: my brain in the lead up to results day

Transcript

Okay, let's spend the next two hours calculating our grades using the information that we don't have. What happens if we actually do get three years? It is a possibility. Oh my gosh, remember that six marker you forgot about? Everyone else definitely did better than you. Let's revisit question seven from biology paper one. I know I predicted an A in bio, but we're definitely getting a D. Can we check last year's grade boundaries for the fifty-th time today? Oh, remember that last question, the psychology paper three? Let's revisit it at one AM in the morning.
