How can I have spent seven months at one of the best universities in the world and not know anything?
The obvious answer is that I am a moron who does not go to lectures.

May this is just first year finals yitters, I am pretty sure - it sounds like you have worked pretty hard, even if you have missed a few lectures, and I'm sure you'll do fine. Even if you only scrape through it's fine anyway, right? I'm pretty sure that your first year's results don't count towards your final degree at Cambridge? I mean, in my first year I got 42 in a module writing about a roughly similar topic to an essay I wrote in my third year that got a 90 - so, like, don't stress too much about year 1 ok? You're obviously very bright and I've no doubts that you'll end up doing really well!
Metope:
Sonof, this is cold calculation, I'm on my last semester and I'll have my BA in less than two months. I just feel like shit today, but yeah, it'll be fine. Also I write best at home, and since it's handed in over the internet I'll just finish it now and send it off before I go to bed, yay technology!
Barmymoo:
Several people have said that to me (about it not counting) and I'm not sure whether or not it's true. Certainly it's your first year grades that affect whether or not you can get a vacation scheme in second year, you have to get at least a 2:1 to get a decent one, and I'm pretty sure it does count since two of the subjects are compulsory to qualify as a lawyer. But they're keeping it very quiet! I'll have to look it up. It depends what subject you do, I think.
Thanks for the vote of confidence though :) I'm swinging wildly between thinking I'm going to fail miserably and thinking I've got plenty of time to get it sorted, and I really don't know which is more true.
StaedlerMars:
The way it works in Edinburgh (but Edinburgh ain't no Cambridge) is first and second year don't really matter as long as you get above a 50% which determine if you go into honours or not. Then in third and fourth year those grades determine whether you get a 2.2, 2.1, or 1.
But Edinburgh ain't no Cambridge.
Guys, my dissertation is due on Wednesday and I have a friend coming over from NY tomorrow, and today I have to do a presentation on another subject. When am I going to have time to finish my dissertation?
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU!

Going to class drunk provides better results, alcoholism here I come.
