My Physics torment is over

It’s A-level results day – and so much is riding on these results it is unbelievable. Not only do I need enough to get into University, but if I don’t get into University, then I can’t follow my dream (more about that later).

Rather than having to wait at school for my results, however, I chose to look online for my Edexcel results (General Studies and Physics) – as they are the only exam board to be offering an online results service at the moment – and found, to my utter delight and relief, that I actually got a grade for Physics.

I have said all along that if I could get a grade, even if it is just an E, I would be the happiest person in the world today. Well, suffice to say I only got an E for Physics, but it has genuinely made my day to have gotten something other than a U in a subject I was almost certain I was going to fail from the word go. And it’s not like I even scraped an E – it is a very safe E!

In General Studies I picked up a C, but if I pick up anything less in any of my other subjects, then, well, let’s just say today will be the day the dream died.

Here’s hoping – and praying! – it hasn’t come to that!
