Results are out!!! (Well they were yesterday)
I'm so relieved you have no idea.
Film studies AS- A
Film Studies A2- A
Media Studies A2- A
English Language A2- B
As you all know I did a two year Film Studies course in one year- which meant my timetable was mental, some of the AS and A2 lessons clashed- and so i had to miss about 30-40% of the subject over this year for one reason or another, and teach myself what I missed at home.
....I got an A in every single unit...and not just an A- a high A...in every unit of both years work.
I totally broke down- then when I saw the other two grades when i was POSITIVE i had failed English- i broke down again.
When we picked up our results envelopes me and Jess were wondering why out envelopes had big purple name stickers on them, when other people just had normal labels...Then we found out that that meant we were to be pulled aside and interviewed for newspapers and radios e.t.c
Rich- my awesome film lecturer- was walking around telling officials, media people, other teachers- ANYONE that would listen that I had aced Film Studies, when the exam board had strongly advised that I not do the 2 year course in a year because it would be too hard and I'd not manage it. They even tried to get Rich to pressure me not to take it but he refused to do that, and I found out- he convinced the principal to let me take it, and it would have been on him and my other lecturer Jo's head if i had done badly.
I dont know how to thank them for their faith in me to an extent I didn't even know about. If i thought i hug i got at the awards evening was big- I didn't see the hug I got from Rich coming yesterday. I think he was prouder than my mum. He was walking around talking to all the students and everytime he passed me he just shook his head and went " Never been done before..." and winked at me.
I keep expecting a phone call to tell me they were marked wrong or something....
And today I've got a text from my friend Sean who knows Rich and it said "Just round Rich's.He's V proud of you lol he's phoning WJEC (the exam board) to let them know you aced it and rub it in a bit I'm sure."
Now I'm overwhelmed....and relieved GOD am I relieved.
-Cue waking up from a dream?
Fuck but I'm happy. SOMEONE BRING ME SOME CAFFEINE!!!!
