Results Day

[Drogue]

As I'm sure many of the British people here will know, tomorrow is the day that AS and A-level results are released. I was just wondering who's taken them, what you need, where you want to go with them, and if anyone is brave enough to post their results tomorrow morning.

I am dreading it. I'll have to go up to school at 10am, and be told what my future will be. May sound melodramatic, but tomorrow will decide if I go to university, or have to take a year out, find something to do, then try to re-apply, with massive odds of getting in again I hope that doesn't happen.

Because of the new AS system, people have a much better idea of what they'll get (we've taken half the exams last summer), but still, it's very touch and go for me. I fluked last summer big time, and just hoping I've held on enough. As Clear Skies said after we got the offers, I would kill for an AAB offer right now

Who's getting results tomorrow?

[*End Is Forever*]

My brother is. I just find out whether I'm getting rid of him in mid-September or not.

[Drogue]

He wanting to go to York then with you? What's he going to study?

[*End Is Forever*]

Oh god no. That would be too much.

York's terms start really late, so I should have three weeks at home after he disappears... that's all I meant.

My brother has applied to MMU at Alsager to do some sort of Sports Science course.

3 weeks late? How late is that, and how does it work? Oxford's are a week late, cause of the 8 week terms, but I didn't think others did. If I get in, I leave same day as my older brother. Didn't get to see him this summer though (he got a scholarship to CalTech for the summer).

I opened mine live on the BBC Breakfast News.

Has it really been a year since I got my A-levels?

I'd love to do that. Guess I'll have to settle for local newpapers.

York's autumn term this year starts October 6th. A good proportion of Universities are off and running by mid-September.

It made the whole thing much less stressful actually. I was so nervous about being on live national television that I almost forgot I was supposed to be getting exam result.

Yeah, I'm part of the team running freshers week at Nottingham from September 23rd. I might get to meet Busted

[Drogue]

Yeh, but Nottingham has Semesters doesn't it? So starts early? I know many are earlier, though i think all I applied to were October starts. I start on the 8th I think (my birthday ) but freshers week beforehand

Might be one of the few people to do Freshers week at Oxford and Cambridge (went and stayed with my brother )

[*End Is Forever*]

...and Nottingham is a University you'd expect to start quite late.

[*End Is Forever*]

York's Freshers' Week starts on the 6th. There's no teaching until the 13th.

[Drogue]

Nottingham starts early But yeh, York is pretty late. I've got a friend (well, actual ex ) coming up to York this year.
