Yey, congrats and well done VP - that's an amazing start! 
Hope it all carries on exactly like that.

That's amazing, well done!
If that was your first piece of work, does that mean you did the essay recently? (I'm just curious as to how MAs work as I'm starting mine in Sep.) I've heard people say things like they don't get marks for their work as they do them, but only at the end of the year?

This is extraordinary work - one of the best three or four essays I have
ever read at Keele in more than 15 years. With one or two revisions and a
little expansion here and there it could go straight into somewhere like
the Journal of American Studies (I'd appreciate the second marker's
thoughts on this). In a sense then, all I need to do now is to rise to my
feet, applaud, cheer, and throw my metaphorical cap into the air. This is
a hugely intelligent, incisive, stylish, detailed, perceptive,
knowledgeable and original piece of work. You were absolutely right to
leave Bourdieu as an implicit presence (though if you were minded to seek
publication for this piece I would be inclined to bring him back to the
surface a little). The material on The Intuitionist is not only wholly
persuasive, it is also hilarious. And you play what may be the great trick
of critical writing (which is not a trick in the end, simply the real
thing): you appear to be taking an oblique and slightly quirky approach
rather than writing a comprehensive 'essay on ... ' but you then show,
cumulatively and convincingly, that all the time you have in fact been
going right to the very heart of the issues. I am lost for admiration,
almost for words. Well done!
a rainbow of well deserved joy.
You should frame it and put it in the loo, it would cheer you up and make you proud every day.

Heh - thanks for the continued love and joy people 
zoooo - I guess it may vary. I'm doing this course PT over 2 years, so this was the first piece of work I'd submitted. I handed in on May 15th and just got the result. We don't have to wait until the end of the whole course - I think it would be counter-intuitive, since you need the feedback in order to use the course as a training tool. Each essay can be used as practice for the final dissertation (25,000 words due Sept 2010), so if you don't get the feedback you have no idea if you're doing it right or wrong. Can't see what the use of not telling people their results would be, tbh.
BK - OMG - a rainbow of amazingness!!!1!

Full timers, btw, at my uni work like this:
1st pieces: Submit January - results a few weeks later
2nd pieces: Submit May - results a few weeks later
Dissertation: Submit Sept - results pretty darned sharpish as they'll be starting PhDs a few weeks later.
What are you going to be doing? Are you excited yet?

Wow, nicely done! You should frame those comments.
Hahaha - I was exactly like that on my MA too.
