...I now have four A-levels. Okay, none of them were A's, but it's still four A-levels. In a college which pretty much forbids you to take four if you aren't getting an A in at least one AS.
I actually got repeatedly told to drop English Language at one point. Turns out, after a fucking awesome performance in my last English exam (during which, I had no idea what I was doing and brought the whole syllabus out for revision notes), which was worth 20% of the final grade, I got an A. This -as well as my attempt to compare Michael Howard and Robert Peel's political speeches (and yes, I was allowed to do that as a piece of coursework :D)- brought my overall grade up from a D (my original expectation) to a B.
I also got two C's in History and Law (my luck in giving examiners blow jobs has finally ran out, it seems *shot*), and a D in Politics. Which was one mark off a C, according to my teacher. That's pretty normal for me. *shot*
So yes. I have four A-levels. I then came home to find a letter from UCAS (University and Colleges Applications Service for you non-Brits) saying 'Dear Ms ***, you have been accepted for your first choice of BA (Hons) History and Politics at Liverpool John Moores University...' So I'm off to Liverpool's reject university (and I have proof of this, the chairperson's Cherie Blair...*fridged* No, really, she is!). :D
