Only in horseshoes?

I got my marks back. I did not make honours. Very very close (less than a percentage point) but not close enough.

I did get the highest grade in my class. And a corresponding prize. That was nice.

I have insanely high standards and expectations, and I am a sucker for external validation.

I am off to France for a month in January, and am planning to fill this space with my gastronomical experiences and adventures there. Until then - Joyeaux Noel!
