Can I boast, please? Don't read if it's going to make you cross....

....dd just got her first university assignment back and she got a 1st!

I am so pleased for her I'm crying all over again, and I thought I'd finally stopped.

That's brilliant - well done to her :)

Congratulations to her, you should be very proud.

What a great motivator for her too!

Why would it make anybody cross?
Well done to your dd!

That's fantastic What's she doing?

Mind you, not entirely sure that getting a First in an essay on the definition of person in regards to the trinitarian theologies of Aquinas and the Cappadocian Fathers is going to stand her in very good stead in the 2018 employment market.........

Aah, well done to your dd! :)

Well done to her, should be great for her confidence going forward.

Rather like the clever jeux de mots in the thread title too given the subject of her assignment. :)

I wish it had been deliberate, boys3!

Well done to your DD. It sounds very intellectual!

Well done HakDD

^^ it sort of looks like a box of tissues if you squint

Brilliant!

Well done to your DD

also can't understand why anyone would be cross, but that's not important

Well done to your DD Hak. But when on earth did she start her first term if she's not only done fresher's week, not only written an assignment but actually had it marked and returned to her too ? Where is she? Perhaps you don't want to say. Is she enjoying it though? DS doesn't leave until Sunday.

Edinburgh, molio- started on September 8th!

Oh that's great Hak. DS has just applied there, I hope he gets in :) So she was there for the referendum - quite a start!

DS3 is the Edinburgh one. DS2 is the one I'm shifting on Sunday. What's the weather like? Rain? :)

Yes- she was quite excited about it! Very long terms-September 8th to december 21st. . But she's having a ball!

That's brilliant! Very good first impression for her tutors too, they will love her forever now . Edinburgh is such a great place to be.

And she's just texted to say she's in a bar 10 feet away from JK Rowling!

Cool!

milio that was exactly what I was going to say .

I haven't even gone back to work properly yet!!! Let alone set work and marked owt!!!

Glad your DD is enjoying herslef Hak. It's such a lovely experience.

What an amazing start for your dd. You are right to be do proud of her. Sounds like an amazing start for her, referendum, JK Rowling, a First for her first. Brilliant.

I knew it would be Scotland! Edinburgh is lovely, and excellent to have made such a good start.

Brilliant, well done! You have every reason to boast. September 8 does sound like an early start but I think Scotland is generally before England with term dates.

My DD got into top sets for virtually everything (I didn't even know they'd be streamed!). She phoned to tell me, but actually I was even more impressed when she said "I can't stop, Mum, I want to hoover my room before my next lecture."

Congratulations to you DD Hakluyt
