Results day

The long wait is over. The results arrived a day earlier than I expected, such that I walked past the envelope twice this morning before I realised what it was. Then shortly before lunch I realised what it was, and ensuring no one was around to watch, gingerly opened the envelope. Exam notifications seem not to follow any standard for usability. Two decades ago it took me several minutes to work out my degree result. In November last year it took three reads to work out that my son had indeed passed his 11+. And this morning, I was at first disappointed by the individual mark for one of the papers before I noticed my overall grade. I don't like to brag, but since this is anonymous I can:

I SCORED A DISTINCTION!
