I have successfully finished semester 1 of final year. To be honest, I have only had one assessment that is graded and counts towards my degree, which went quite well, even though I had hoped I would have gotten a higher mark.
At the moment I am back at home in Bristol with my parents. Because of my year abroad I havn't been at home a lot, and the most amount of time I had in this house since June was 4 hours, so it feels really strange to stay here.
On a good point, being at home means free food, fast and reliable internet connection, and a nice and warm house! And my bed is super-comfy.
I do have some work for uni to do over the Christmas period, but none of it is assessed. The modules I am doing this year are not really essay modules, which means that so far I am yet to even read a book for research. Most of my study has been learning new vocabulary words, grammar, and translation skills. I do however have a French interpreting exam in the second week of semester 2, so I need to revise phrases and word lists for that. Hopefully I will do well on it (I am aiming for at least a 2:1 grade).
I have no idea at what level my final degree will be. I know this final year is 75% of my degree, so I am trying to buckle down and study. My goal for all assessments is to get a minimum of 2:1 (at least 60%).
Wish me luck!
