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...)...

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!
