So today was results day, or as most people called it, doomsday, d-day, the end of the world or any variation thereof. I was actually dreading today. I hadn't had any sleep for the past two nights so I got like four hours sleep before waking up. My mum had been trying to convince me for the past week to give her my log in details for the mysite so she could check my results herself, as I didn't want to look online. Of course, I wasn't going to allow this to happen because, well, I can't have anyone knowing my results before me. Although I hear the mysite wasn't working so it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway.
I was originally planning to not check anything online and just go in and pick up my results, but pretty much at the last minute I changed my mind and decided I'll check on Track when it goes live. So when the time came I went on Track..with my mum standing right next to me *sigh*. -_- I logged in and, at first glance, thought it didn't update as it all looked the same as before, until I realised it said unconditional next to Warwick! I cannot explain the feeling of joy that overcame me at that point. I mean, I got into my dream uni, what else could I ask for? And judging from the reception on Twitter and Facebook, it seemed that almost everyone else I knew got into their first choice, so congratulations everyone! I wish you all the best of luck.
So after a while I went to college to pick up results, and I happened to stumble upon Vanessa...and her mum, both of which started talking about my hair. Her mum then proceeded to call me a woman, as you do. After a while, college opened and we proceeded to the sports hall. This time round I could actually manage to open my results myself as I knew I got into uni so it didn't matter too much...turns out I got A*A*AB, in maths, further maths, physics and chemistry respectively. Of course, after a while I decided to add up my A2 UMS scores for physics to find out I WAS 1 UMS AWAY FROM AN A*. DAMN YOU OCR. DAMN YOU! So of course, me being me, I went around and raged. Of course at this point it doesn't matter, but still, dem wuns. I'm just happy for everyone who worked hard and got what they deserved, there's no better feeling than knowing you actually achieved that with your own dedication. It's awesome. Also, I must give a shout out to Graham, who blew everyone away with A*A*A*A*, which if I'm completely honest is absolutely insane.
All I have to say now is congratulations to everyone! A lot of you I will probably never see again, due to whatever circumstances, but I certainly hope you get what want. I'll miss a lot of people, but I guess that's just how it is. So just enjoy yourselves, and remember, maths is the superior subject. Good luck to you all. =]
