I never did. I did two 1500 essays in one night, one for that module, and got a 2:2 in that module and a first for the other one. I was so disappointed and angry with the 2:2 I threw away the results in a rage and then accidentally walked into the girl's toilets where I was trapped for three hours for fear of someone seeing me walk out of the girl's toilets
But that's another story.

>unironically think I'm gonna end up like Uncle Ted except without all the bombings, living in a shack and subsequent incarceration
Fucking idiot. Kill yourself, at least you can copy your hero in that
