h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well then, time to add my contribution to the growing number of A-Level results-related journal posts out there.

I got the perfect grades. Couldn't've asked for better. An A in each of my main subjects (computing, maths and physics), and a U in General Studies, a totally useless (to me at least) exam that I was forced into against my will.

My first choice of university was Durham, which needed a tough AAB - so I'm off there at the end of the holidays! Off to study physics.

However, I'm a little annoyed about other people's results. Mine are fine, so I'm not going to lodge any complaints, but the results of certain intelligent friends of mine are proving that, once again, foul play is afoot on the exam board front. Especially in physics, it seems. The first exam we did in that subject last term went really well for just about all of us and consisted entirely of simple questions. However, a great many people, myself including, have received terrible scores for them, and a lot of people have lost entire grades because of this.

I'm not sure what's going on this year. Probably an attempt to make it look like it's the fault of the people who do the actual marking, rather than the management like it was last year. I hope it gets resolved for everybody.

I always said that Political Education will be the death of classical.

Oh, good for you!

I'm still quite insane, don't worry about that. However, I'm spending a great deal more time (in fact, practicaly all of it) in RL mode. This was because of exams, w*rk and the construction work on the house. I've been doing quite a bit of decorating and such recently.

But I intend to finally continue work on my book when I get to uni, so I might slip back into Professor mode then.

Ah good, It's been interesting talking to you in Prof mode, so it'll be a new experence to talk to you in RP mode.

So hows Uni?
