But in a good way.

Due to some fortuitous combination of results and the wonder that is mitigating circumstances, I have passed my first semester of my second year of uni. I was thoroughly expecting to get 20%, but instead got a solid 47.5%!

So I'm a happy drubnk! It's a nice change.

Please pardon my stupidity, but what does 20% and 47.5% mean? Apparently the grading system in England is different than over here in the colonies.
 
Percent out of a hundred. 40% is the pass mark.

How odd. Don't u have scores like 90 then?

Oh yes, we do. In fact I did last year in a module or two. However I spent a good third of this module drunk and moping, so 47.5% is fantastic to me.

70% is actually a very good mark in a UK uni exam - our tests are very hard.

But you poor bastards must have terrible self confidence by the time you graduate. You need to move to the states where we hand out 100%s and gold stars.

Cheeky mare. Actually, I believe you and Flame owe me £20, as the one module you bet on me with was the only one that I actually failed.

Told you so! :D

No, we bet you'd pass your exams! Actually we made the bet twice so you owe us 40 quid but we won't press the point!

I'm not cheeky, don't you love me anymore? *Wobbles lip* :(

<pulls face> Actually you bet me that I'd pass that exam, but we won't quibble.

Just bathe together in the adoration of being called cute.
