» Thu Aug 14, 2014 4:18 pm So yeah, tomorrow morning (12 hours from writing this to be exact) I get my results for my A-Levels. For those who don't know, A-Levels are qualifications you get between high school and college/university here in the UK. Unlike most of my friends, I was always pretty chilled out about it. Until right now, where it suddenly hit me that my goal, my passion, of studying Creative Writing at university hangs in the balance.
All I care about is the English grade, and I love English. We studied King Lear, which I really enjoyed. But about a month after the exam was done, I was lying on my bed when the thought suddenly hit me, "Oh my god that whole extract was a symbol for baptism and rebirth and I never bloody noticed!" That made me panic, so I messaged the rest of my English class with this, and they all panicked as well because they never noticed this either! So I may or may not have doomed the sanity of nine other people.
Even if I do get the required grades to get into university this year, I don't think I'll go this year. I'll take a year to attend college and get a job, giving myself an oppourtunity to learn to fend for myself, because I simply am not ready to do so in univesity. No word of a lie, I managed to set an egg poacher on fire (you're meant to put water in it)..
So.. yeah. I'm getting my results at 10-12 tomorrow, then I'm going to town to get a haircut and sell some games so I have money to goo out for drinks to celebrate/drown my sorrows.
Anyone else expecting some results sometime soon? It's that time of the year for a lot of people.
