Herstmonceux: Cheerio!

In the last 2 weeks, we've gone through our second round of law school exams, said many goodbyes, and left Herstmonceux Castle. It's been a wonderful, memorable two months.

The second round of exams was much easier than the first. Or, at least, the stress level at the castle much lower than the first round in Kingston. There were no tears.

Of those, 6 were assessed on a "B+ curve" while 2 were graded on a "B curve". If only grades didn't matter...
