A classmate developed it in Pyro, you'd be amazed at what he got out of it! We observed it on the light box and nearly burnt our retinas, that's how sharp it was.
Overall I'm really liking its response. I'm shooting my next at nominal speed. We'll see!

A couple more I shot this summer and just recently got round to (print and) scan.
Pentax K1000 & FA-31mm f1.8 (I think), Fomapan 100 @ ISO 200, Microphen 1+1.
It was a test roll, film and camerawise.

Please don't take this the wrong way and assume people are being condescending for the sake of it. They're trying to offer advice and explain things, which, if you consider yourself a student, is something you should at least give thought to.
No one is criticising you, your pictures, your ability to take them, or your dedication to film photography. It's admirable and relatable… otherwise we wouldn't be here.
I guess what other people have been trying to say is that whether you yourself make use—or not, as you've been stating all along—of Photoshop, you shouldn't consider the mere act of taking a picture with your camera as final whatsoever.
Whether you like it or not, the lab, whichever lab you've chosen, does process your pictures. There are many variables that already affect the way your film comes out of the developing tank (the choice of chemicals, development time, agitation, etc), then there are many other variables that affect the way your traditional prints come out (the choice of paper, grade, the enlarger itself, masking techniques, development time, post-treatments, etc), and lastly, there are many more variables that affect the way your pictures eventually look to you on screen once digitalised. So, indeed, YOU might not be doing anything to your pictures in Photoshop or anywhere down the line, but a lot of things are being done to them anyway in order for them to just be what they are. If they look good to you in whichever way your lab processes them, well, you've won the lottery! Just don't mistake that for the one true and sole way of doing things.
Ultimately, though, it's a matter of choices. You may decide to make them yourself or let others do them for you. So long as you're aware of that, it's all fine.
(And for the record, I'm a (photography) student too—literally.)

Bunch of pictures from 2009, my first time in Paris as a somewhat sentient human being (the very first visit being with my parents when I was about 6 or something, so that doesn't really count).
Pentax MX & A-50mm f1.4 (I think), Ilford FP4+ ISO 125.
