Have so far sat through two Latin exams (one 2 hours, one 3 hours) and have yet to sit my Greek exam (three hours, taking it well into "No Fixed Abode, Cricklewood") and my exam for Introduction to Greece and Rome, a further three hours. I handed in my Greek and Latin assessments in January - 40% for each of those subjects, I believe, which I thankfully already know I've passed.
On the upside, I never have to do a Latin language exam again. The downside is I have to do more literature....

I failed to stun the judges last week, but am the next on the list if someone declines an offer (which I doubt will happen). Ho hum...

...though it's not all doom and gloom as I've just been offered a job in Saarbrücken...

[rab] Your experiences are uncannily matching those of one of my officemates ... (first reserve after fellowship interview, [I'm assuming that's what your thing was?] ended up with a job in Germany). Good luck with whatever happens.

oh the utter silliness of the Monday night e-pilg. Fair sets me up for the week, it does :-)
