Results and University
After four days of celebrating finally a chance to blog my results…
AAABB in Computing, Philosophy, General Studies, Physics and Maths (that order). Pretty much what I was expecting, wasn’t sure if I’d be A or B in Physics but missed it by a few marks. Still more than enough to get into Durham and my offer is now unconditional and confirmed. I have to say I’m amazed I got an A in General Studies though, unlike many other students I went to some of my lessons - but that only taught me I needn’t have bothered.
You would think by the time we choose our AS/A2 options we should be responsible enough to make our own decisions about our education (after all, we have already chosen to remain in education) but the school still see’s fit to force a compulsary subject upon us. Fair enough from their point of view PSHE/RE is a government requirement for all students in full time education (although in itself that now seems rather outdated) but why force us into an A Level no-one cares about and holds no value?
Woah, this almost turned from a positive post about exam results into a rant about General Studies. It’s just too easy! I’ll just vent that particular frustration through the student newspaper at some point. I’m not supposed to care about things like that any more now I’m no longer a student - but old habits die hard.
Yes - no longer a student! Now I have to pay to go to the dentist! Its craaaazy! Its almost enough to convince me to pay £5000/year to go to university….
