How to give yourself a headache.

For reasons that will become obvious later (i.e. I'm not going to tell you why now), I need to work out the exact breakdown of my first degree. Now, universities in this country do not, or at least did not at the time, issue transcripts, so I'm left to try to work it out myself. This is not as easy as you might think...

( Lots of calculations. )

The final, rounded totals are:
Physical chemistry: 33%
Inorganic chemistry: 20%
Organic chemistry: 15%
Lab & coursework: 21%
Ancillary subject - Maths: 4%
Ancillary subject - Italian: 4%
Additional Maths/Physics: 3%

Blergh. I don't even want to speculate what percentage of physical chemistry could also be classed as physics. It's taken me 4 hours to do this as it is.

If you're interested, these are the courses I took in third year.( Read more... )

Of course, going through boxes of stuff from 6 years ago is bringing back other memories too. I was careful, though - if I peered at something and thought "I don't want to read that yet", I didn't. So I'm only actually feeling a wee bit fragile, and mostly just irritated. I shouldn't have to be doing complicated arithmetic just to find out what I actually studied at university!
