My Exam Woes

fuck, long day. I missed both my 1st and backup uni choices
grade wise, however have managed to get a place on an
archaeology course at Manchester Uni (archaeology was one of
my preferred subjects)

so, after nearly packing up my bags and emigrating to
Patagonia, i'm now on a cool course

now, the pub.

That sounds cool, B3N ... good luck to the rest of ya and
all..

It's part of my job each summer, getting all the students
results downloaded and put into our databases etc....

Ready for em to pop in today and pick em up....not mnay
tears this year; pity as it's generally a laugh watching em
get all emotional....

Think we had a 92% pass rate...which is pretty good..(but
A/AS Levels are def easier...as the pass rates show...)...

Well done Ben
Great to see U're going to Manchester

Time Team as your new hero ;0

cool Ben, good that your all sorted.

my sister got her a-level results today too... she was a bit
disappointed but she's been accepted by her 1st choice uni.

gotta get my GCSEs next week... they seem like nothing
compared to A-levels!
