When I did A level instead of 'N' it was U (Ungraded) which we said was for useless!

That's me!

No it isn't! Hey, you mustn't still be being moderated.

Useless- yep definitely me

No -not being moderated anymore woooo

Thats good.

Nat, you are not useless.

I agree with noodle, you're not useless Nat. repeat after me "I am not useless, I am not useless, I am not...."

Well....we'll soon see


7 days

Yes Nat. We will see that you are not useless.

*runs away scared*

No, Nat you're not in the slightest useless!

Come on, Positive thinking now, and then IF something goes wrong, you'll have a positive attitude as to how to sort it out!

Instead of "my life is over", which it won't be coz something better will come along.

I think I dreamed about getting my results, but I don't know what I got!

Yes, I've dreamed almost every night about my results - and every time I've failed everything!

Yeah but that's coz you're thinking all day "oh am gonna fail" so when you go to sleep, it's "oh I'm still failing"!!!!

What did I tell you about planes and dreaming?!

Planes???..........................ooooh yes I remember hehe!

Yes well, I dreamed I was on a plane to Portugal, when actually that's where you're going. But because I was thinking about it when I went to sleep, I dreamed it!

What's the worst that's gonna happen on results day: you won't get your grades and Bangor don't let you in.

Ok 2 choices : resit and spend another year at school, then reapply OR go through clearing and see where you end up

You don't want to resit and stay at school for many reasons, so you could try clearing.

If you get offered somewhere you really don't want to go, you don't have to accept it.

Although you could come to Hull, like me

I never dream anything like that but elmo is right, you dream what you're subconsiously thinking during the day. My friend had loads of continous dreams one week, every time she dreamt she missed the school bus, someone else missed it instead, and the day she dreamt she was the only one on the bus and everyone else missed it, she missed it the next day....

Oh I've remembered what I got in my dream! I got B's in french and music, a C in General studies and an E in German! That's (apart from the E lol) is exactly what I needed to get in!

See you'll get in no problem! And if you get a B in music that means I'll get a C

IT WAS A DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And how does that work?! We both got As at AS, we both got good invest and report marks, and we both got FINAL HYMN!!!!!!!!

Yes but my performance wasn't good and netiher was Section A/B!

So Nat, what are your feelings about results day?

(Bear in mind what I've just said!)

Grades you mean?

No, when you think of results day, whay do you think of? Panic. stress, anxiety, POSITIVE!!!, or negative?

All of the above apart from positive!!

I think 'positive' and 'optimistic' disappear completely from our vocabularies around about this time...

I've dreamt about my results twice now. The only thing I can remember though was getting an A instead of an A* in Biology, and my teacher being really disappointed. Which is strange, because I'm not doing Biology at A-level.

And 14 days...

*Slaps forehead again*

I'm inclined to agree with you, yes you are hopeless

What good does being negative make you feel? Twice as worse, lots of dread

Yes you might be building yourself up for a fall, but the fall doesn't hurt any more if you think positively!!!

If you're positve in yourself, it'll come across that way to other people, and that doesn't make you bigheaded or anything, it makes you something that other people will base themselves on. If everyone was negative, no one would get up in the morning.

And being positive means you can't be realistic at the same time. "Realisitcally I might've failed *all* my exams. But on the other hand, I might not have, and since I can't do anything about it now, I'm not going to waste pointless energy worrying about it"

And don't say "oh but I have failed all my exams"

But, if I thought 'positively' and then failed, I'd feel even more stupid because I'd been saying I was going to pass etc

If I think I've failed everything (which I have!) then passing and possibly getting into uni is a bonus

Yeah I know that's what you're doing! But being positive doesn't mean you're going to have done well in it, bt if something does go wrong, them you'll at least have some sort of idea as to how to sort it out. Instead of staring at the piece of paper, bursting into tears and being inconsolable for the next week, by which time it's too late to sort out a uni place!

(Exageration and cry all you want, coz crying isn't something bad either!)

Results day isn't a very good place to start thinking positively though!

Nat, you know that dreams won't come true if you tell anyone about them??

I keep dreaming either I have done really well or I have done really badly. So I am being pessimistic, because now I just have no idea how I have done. Also, I'll probably start crying anyway...and I am going to find it hard to tell people.

'UCAS track has been suspended at the moment while we process the examination results'.


uh oh....here we go.....it's starting aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Honestly!

Sitting looking at it won't make it better!

I don't care if it won't change for a week, I'm keeping it on!

In fact this time next week it will have changed...and my future will be revealed............................................oooooooh aaaah scary........................

It's not your whole future, just the next 4 years!

Same difference!!!!

Just think....UCAS are sitting there now, matching results to numbers etc etc...they could have ours in their hands right this very second!!!!!

Honestly, I never thought I'd meet someone who's more of a stresshead than me!

Nat, they do have your results in your hands and debating whether to let you in or send you to the loony bin! They told me over the reiki airwaves!

why would anyone want to send me to a loony bin!!

Just imagine though, it's all becoming more real. THEY HAVE OUR RESULTS IZZ!!!!!!! And oh gosh, I feel sick. They'll be typing mine thinking oh dear, another one for clearing!


I'm not a stresshead I'm just a erm.....er.m......e.rm......erm..........................

lol I know they have our results. But they won't change now!

Well they'll need to change them!!

Oh dear I'm so scared! Nothing we can do now AND THEY HAVE THEM!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

BREATHE YOU PLANK BEFORE YOU DIE AND NEVER FIND OUT!!

lol better?!

I'm counting how many times you've called me a plank in the past few days- too many for my liking dear!

Breathe? What's that!? I can' breathe .....I need to know, I'll ring UCAS and demand they tell me hah!! And if they don't I'll erm....erm.....stress some more!

PLANK I have you know means P ositively L ovely A mazing N at oK?! lol

I hope you bribed my performance examiner lots?!

LOL If you say so!


Well your performance examiner didn't seem to remember you! Despite how memorable you were!

Oh and here is a fab link for all us A-level students

lol! That's cool!

Glad you find it amusing...I don't!

lol, well it is amusing!

I am worrying about my results too. EEEP!

Try not to worry too much. I know its hard (I've been there too) but there's no point in worrying until you actually get you results and then you'll see there was nothing to worry about. I'm sure you've all done very well. So worrying would just be a waste of time.
