I know this is rather late as A Level results were released a few weeks ago now, but better late than never right?
Surprisingly I didn't count down to results day, I tried to enjoy the time I had off rather than worrying about it. After all, worrying wouldn't change anything. Having said that I was fully prepared to fail. I even ordered Prospectuses from Universities I hadn't applied to in case I didn't get the grades I needed. People had asked me what grades I thought I'd get and from the beginning I'd predicted myself BBD - grades that would have probably left me desperately searching in Clearing for places.
However, results day finally arrived and to be honest I slept quite well. After my twin sister found out that she'd gotten in to her first choice online, I also checked Track to find I too had done well enough for my first choice to accept me - I can't tell you how relieved I was. The craziest thing was that when I went into school to collect my results I'd actually gotten my offer: ABB and the A was in Biology. For anyone who knows me they will know how unreal this was. After getting a C at AS and doing very poorly in my January Biology exams I had decided to retake every module in summer to attempt to get my grade up a little. I'm glad all those extra hours of work paid off in the end because I honestly thought I'd get a D. Although I do think my other two subjects suffered a little as a result, it was still enough to get me in. All my close friends also got into Uni and it was great to see every one of them so happy and go out for a drink and food too!
So basically to any AS students reading this, feeling bad about their results because they didn't get what they wanted I just want to say that it is possible to turn it around - even if it seems like it's impossible.
Now it's time to make sure I have everything sorted for University - eep.
Hope you're all doing well.
Laura.
