Well done - drinks are on us!

[libellum.livejournal.com]

woohoo!

I may be a bit of a killjoy tonight and leave t'pub early, since after the alcoholic debacle of yesterday, and hanging around at Senate House for almost all of today waiting for the bastards to get a move on, my painting is a couple of days behind. But. Tomorrow!

Well done and congratulations!

[libellum.livejournal.com]

oh yes. at the moment I'm not so much feeling happy as a sort of exultant "take THAT you smug bastards! mwahahaha!" heh. thankyou!

[sisuphos.livejournal.com]

Commiserations, but I'm sure it's a handicap you'll manage to overcome.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

*g* that's the first thing that's managed to make me smile all afternoon :D

I haven't got anywhere near the "hurrah!" stage yet ... I'm still at "trying to slow heartrate down"

[phlebas.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!
(Now. Breathe.)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

breathe ... wha?

[nicolasix.livejournal.com]

congratulations! i too know the feeling of complete and utter disbelief/releif/shock/happiness when finding out the same such wonderful news (without the cambridge bit, obviously) and i'm so happy for you. xx.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

I'm not at happy yet... but I'm sure it will come eventually! no doubt alcohol will help with that, although I need to paint tonight and can't drink much. But. Tomorrow! The best bloody birthday present of my life.

But, thankyou so much. xxx

[steeraway.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's wonderful, really wonderful! I'm so pleased for you :-)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

thankyou so much :) telling people is gradually making it seem more real ... I am one of "those" people. Nope, I still can't believe that bit :)

[smhwpf.livejournal.com]

Yay, woo-hoo, and dances of joy! Once again, many, many congratulations. I am really delighted for you. *hugs*

[libellum.livejournal.com]

thankyou :D I'm slowly getting there ... at the moment everyone else can be euphoric for me while I get my balance back. I'm sure it'll sink in eventually!!

[mirabehn.livejournal.com]

You rock beyond the telling of it. :-D

*gives congratulatory but soothing hugs*

[libellum.livejournal.com]

[libellum.livejournal.com]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

[realdoll.livejournal.com]

well well well well well well well well WELL FUCKING DONE & I am CHUFFED TO VERY SMALL PIECES on your behalf :D Especially as you were so unsure how things went, especially because you were so nervous, and especially that you have managed such a thing and kept your Normal Person With A Life-ness intact.

Enjoy your masters :D

Re: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

[libellum.livejournal.com]

eeeee yes! right up until the last minute I was all like "OMG what if I get a 2:2? OMG what if I get a THIRD???!" so at the moment it's more *relief* than like, actual achievement. I am eternally paranoid. if I do the mphil (and i still don't know about funding yet :P) then I bet I'll be convinced I'm going to fail. Aaaaagh I don't know how I managed it. It can't be real!

The life is worth more than the 1st though, in some real way? oh god, that probably sounds awful of me, doesn't it? But I was thinking, even if I got a third or something, it just proves I'm cut out to be an artist and screw the system. I still sort of feel like that, which is probably either disgustingly arrogant or really hypocritical. But, argh. So doesn't feel real. Part of me is CONVINCED I didn't deserve it, and the rest is like "YEEEEEES! you finally recognise my TRUE BRILLIANCE! fuck you, ha, so what if I failed Greek? you never believed in me but ACTUALLY I RULE!" or, errrrm. Something.

[robert-jones.livejournal.com]

Oooh, well done!

THANKYOU! aaaagh!

[chrisvenus]

Well done. :)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

eee, thankyou! :)

[whatifoundthere.livejournal.com]

OMG this JUST happened and I'm already the 46th person to comment on this post, meaning my comment will just be repetitive and boring to you, especially since you're probably already letting your genius go to your head and all (it's about time!), but OMG congratulations!

[libellum.livejournal.com]

I KNOW OMG THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! the genius hasn't gone to my head, it just proves that it's meaningless or that the system is flawed or that they must have wanted me for MPhil SO MUCH they were prepared to boost my grade ;) Don't worry, this time next year I'll still be whining and griping about how I'm going to fail ... :D

[isquiesque.livejournal.com]

I guess all the sleep deprivation and studying-induced odd stats of consciousness were worth it, my dear. Congratufuckinglations!

[isquiesque.livejournal.com]

Also, dammit. I meant to spell 'stats' as 'states.' So much for me getting a first on my comment!
