The Big Day

After a wonderful few days in Derbyshire, today I returned home with a bang, because it was finally time to find out my A-level results. The last two years of my school life had been leading up to this day, so I was naturally nervous last night. As planned, I logged on to UCAS Track at 8:00 am, and I was delighted to find that the University of Bristol had confirmed my place to study MSci Pharmacology with Study in Industry! With that weight off my mind, I wolfed down my breakfast and headed to school to find out my exact results. The common room was already pretty busy when I arrived; I quickly spotted my envelope (yes, the school has finally invested in envelopes!) and tore it open eagerly to discover my grades, which were:

Psychology: B
Biology: A
German: B
Chemistry: A*(!)

I'm so happy with the A* in chemistry; I didn't get my fingers trapped in the door in vain! My Biology result was also very satisfying, and the B in German was expected, although I was only 4 UMS points away from an A. I had hoped to get an A in psychology, but I'm happy with the B. So far I've done little to celebrate, just ordering the Eurovision 2008 album on Amazon, but hopefully I'll do something soon.
