So I kind of wasn't expecting the AS-level results I got...

[the_gabih]

In a bad way. Granted, an A and 3 Bs isn't bad in of itself, but it is by my standards. This has resulted in 3 major things:

-My kissing Cambridge goodbye (at least until Postgrad, provided I'm not entirely bogged down in debt by then).
-My deciding that I'm going to make schoolwork my hobby for the next year or so.
-My deciding that, no, this isn't

It might be possible to take a gap year and app when you have your final results. Possibly. Not a careers advisor, etc.

I know you're disappointed as hell, but from where I'm sitting, an A and 3 Bs are scarily good. I only got two Bs and a C. *hug*

[the_gabih]

Possibly, but since I'm applying for languages, it's a very big possibly.

That's the thing- my school's the kind of place where Bs are almost the end of the world, whether or not you're top of the class, and I think I very much need to come to terms with the fact that not only is it okay to get them, they're actually fairly good. *hugs*

*hughug* You will do well, I'm sure.

Here's hoping- and thankyou. *hugs back*

Hello to you! I'm glad you got to go to Barcelona. I am proud as punch (do people still say that?) to know you and I LOVE your attitude. Go get 'em, Tiger!

[the_gabih]

I'm glad too- the place was gorgeous, especially the bits by Gaudi. Have you been?

I haven't heard anyone use any punch-related expressions of late, but I like them rather a lot, so say away. :) And dear Lord, but you've put the most ridiculous smile on my face with that. The appreciation is an entirely mutual thing, m'dear. *hugs*

[irish_injun]

Aw, I love hugs! No, I haven't been to Barcelona. I am not well traveled, but I really enjoy hearing tales from those who are. I can "feel" with them, which is as good to me as actually going places...so feel free at any time to relate any of your traveling stories. I will "listen" eagerly.

Well, it's an amazing place, and I'll save the squee for when I post the pictures (they're taking forever to sort through though- there's about 700 of them!)

[thatgreengirl]

I COMPLETELY understand how you feel. And once you get to the stage where you've accepted that Oxbridge isn't the be-all and end-all of the entire universe, teach me how to do it too please, because it's unbelievably unhealthy to fixate on it the way I do ;)

*hugs*

[the_gabih]

Pssht, with 5 As, I reckon you're allowed to fixate away! Which one are you looking at in particular?

*hugs*

[thatgreengirl]

I'm an Oxford girl ;) Mainly because I live in Cambridge though, and can't face the thought of four more years here :/

[sabriel75]

Excellent marks. Although you know what to do if you're disappointed in them and you have a plan and a very healthy-minded one, for which I am really proud of you! Listen to you being all mature and pre-uni prepared.

Bacrelona does not sound excellent when one has to spend it in bed. Yikes. But Merlin and Sherlock are indeed fun in all the best pick-me-up ways.

Also, can I say your mood gif is very distracting. Very distracting indeed. Is he even clothed? Imagining Naked!Ten now, thank you very much gutter mind. XD

[the_gabih]

Thankyou! Really, it's being mature about it or being depressed, and of the two I know which one I'm picking. :)

Oh, they are- all the more so since we got those DVD-player things for the car and had a Merlin marathon on the way back. Sherlock deleted itself four days into the trip though, which was less than amusing, but waiting for episode 3 until we got back was SO worth it!

I... don't think he is, actually, no. And lol, my mind's right down in that gutter with you bbs! xD
