Aug. 20th, 2010 01:42 pmSo, got my A-level results yesterday. The morning started off kind of badly when I logged into UCAS and the first thing I saw was YOU ARE IN CLEARING. After a minor freakout, I actually went and got my results which were... heh. I'm very pleased with my Latin grade, at least.
Spoke to the Head of 6th Form about various options and then headed back home to start looking for Clearing vacancies. And now? I'll be going to the University of Wales, Lampeter to study Classics! I think I've actually done pretty well out of this, I was lucky as hell to get a place, especially in such a lovely place. It's in the Welsh countryside and from the videos and pictures I've seen, it looks absolutely beautiful. It's the oldest uni in Wales and the smallest in the UK - less than a thousand students, which is less than my high school, wtf.
I move in on October 4th. I have a month-ish to get ready, which hasn't quite sunk in yet... but I guess I'm officially a student now :)

God, my head hurts. Or at least, it aches and it's starting to bug me. Anyway. *sighs* I feel so weird lately. I'm at a really important part of my education right now, what with GCSEs and exams and stuff. And we're choosing A-Levels and you have to pick the right ones, because if you're not careful, universities might not accept you. And so I'm really stuck. My dad thinks I should be a doctor in the RAF, says it's a great opportunity. And it is, but the more I consider it, the less I want to do it. Yeah, he's right, but something about it doesn't appeal... I think it's the fact that it's a sort of army type thing and I have had enough of armies to last a lifetime. History does that to you and I have no wish to be part of it.
