Results, Pizza and A Big Smile

Well hello my lovlies! :)

Today has been a fabulous day. It was the dreaded GCSE results day, and I'm sure if you have ever had to wait for really important exam results, you can appreciate how nervous I was. The pressure to succeed and the fear of failure meant that I hardly ate or slept yesterday. I went to bed around 1am, and was awake at 6. So I must say, that I do feel quite tired actually.

But my results were amazing :) I am so proud. I got, as I know you are all bursting to find out:

3 A*s
7 A s
and 2 B s.

I am very happy. The B's were in ICT -- who needs ICT anyway? I can use the Internet, as is evident by my blog, I can type and I can create a spreadsheet. What more can they possibly teach me? So I really didn't care for that subject, so I did no revision at all. I think a B is very acceptable.-- The other was for English Lit, which I bumped up from a C to a B, by resisting a module, which I got an A in. So, overall I wasn't fussed.

But it was my A's in both Latin and Classical Greek, that had me jumping up and down. I worked my stripey little socks off for both of those exams spending hours in revision sessions both in school and at home. I think I put more work in for those than in all my other subjects put together.

My A*'s were in Art and Design (I was expecting that), Religious Studies (no surprise, I came top of the year in the mock examination) and English Language (which I must say was a bit of a surprise, but I suppose my blog is testament to the fact that I can write!!).

So, overall I am an extremely happy chappy.

My lovely family took me out for a celebratory meal, and unbeknown to me had had balloons and banners and a cake prepared. It was absolutely brilliant. We had such fun. I felt really important, which is a real change, as the younger children tend to have all the attention. So, YAY!!

Erm, the only real reason for this post, was to tell you all about my results and stuff. Oh! and I got in to my sixth form, :) Which is such a relief off my shoulders. So, that's about it for now.

Love you all,

Joey xxx

  7. Well done.

    Did you really want to stay on in your schools 6th form or is that just a path of least resistance? Is there a better choice of more interesting subjects elsewhere? Just a thought.

    Love,

  11. Well Thankyou all very much!! :):) Your kinds words are really really lovely!!!

    I intend to study:
    Latin (greek is not an option at my sixth form)
    Art
    Philosophy and Ethics of Religion
    German

    And in answer to your question Slave Simon, I would study these subjects at any sixth form I would go to. The one I am going to is part of the school I have been at since I was 7! So, I have really established myself and I wouldn't go anywhere else in the world!!

    Hehe :)
