Good luck everyone! :)
I wasn't even born in 1988. :p



It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do.
We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us.
We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

Good luck everyone!

I got my Leaving Cert (Irish equivalent of A Levels, I think) about two years ago, but next Monday I'm finding out whether or not I'll get into a proper college based on said results. I'm pretty nervous about it.

Good luck to everyone receiving results today! Remember, no matter what the result, there is always a way forward and it is never as bad as it seems.



And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.


There she was. Gone.

Katie - 1988 was the year I was born!

Having said that, my GSCE results were 2005 - even that sounds ages ago now!

I get my results around the 27th of this month, I understand the anxiety and fears and such that come alongside exam results, it's pretty normal but can be quite scary and daunting, so I am sending luck and love to everyone who is getting any kind of results.

good luck all. It's YEARS since I got mine lol, think it was 2006?


My brother gets his AS results today though, he basically failed them all last year and hasn't exactly tried this year so we are not that hopeful. Also a LOT of my students are getting results today and as silly as this sounds I am stressed on their behalf lol

I was just wondering how everyone did? It's always nice to hear good news around here and I am guessing that as no-one has posted about current results there is good news?



Life can be beautiful if you let it.
Step back, breathe and take it in

Its nearly a week ago now, but i havent been able to get on much, and mine werent as good as they were supposed to be. Ive self taught myself the whole maths a level in a year, which i know is really good, but i got b's in two modules and a c in one. Im pretty sure i can rearrange modules from further maths and stuff to make it so its still an a, and i dont think any of the unis i want look at modules anyway. And if they did thats still a good achievment right?
My mum thinks i didnt work hard enough. She keeps going on about how much work i need to do this year, and how i wont have time to do this or that cos ill be working. Its getting to me abit, she doesnt seem to see how much ive done, and its having a bif effect in my brother because he thinks thats the sort of thing hes supposed to do too



He was no longer jean valjean but no. 24601 -les miserable


Some of life's mysteries will never be solved, such as why, after spending an entire evening listenong to Bach, do I find myself humming "the birdie song".......

I am reaching, but i fall, and the stars are black and cold, as i stare into the void of a world that cannot hold- les miserables

To even pass A level maths is a massive achievement, but to teach yourself and come out of it with those grades is amazing! Well done!

Eeek, I'm very anxious, I was supposed to get my results today, but I didn't get them. I'm hoping to get them tomorrow or at least on Monday. Desperate to find out what I got, but at the same time, very scared/anxious/nervous!!!

I hope everyone got the results they wanted!!!
