i hate when people who have good grades complain..

weepingwall said:

High standards!

PreacherMan said:

your grades are excellent!..count ye blessings lad!

weepingwall said:

Don't like that C. It's like big, ugly CUNT on my results.

PreacherMan said:

well then study harder next time, i know you get a better grade,i believe in you!(and more of that inspiration stuff!)

well how do you parents feel bout your grade?

weepingwall said:

They said excellent, then looked at the C and said "we'll try getting that one remarked"

I don't care, I'm into UCL - only needed AAB and I got AAAC. If the remark turns it into a B then yay, but it's cool. I may just leave it off my CV though.

PreacherMan said:

math's bullshit anyway.

Well done Ben! Focus on the A's and not the C

evenstar3 said:

Well done

weepingwall said:

I do when I write it, but obviously my mind dwells on that C. I find it funny - such perfect results then..oops!

weepingwall said:

I'm the same - I did Maths because it's useful, not because I enjoyed it. The grade shows that.

weepingwall said:

Riiight.

PreacherMan said:

Physically abusive parents!

I got a C for maths, but at uni I got an A for Engineering!

That what you needed then???

Well done Ben

Fauxie said:

No, they're really pleased and all smiles. I'm the one who's like FUCKING MATHS...but at the same time I laugh whenever I think of it - it's like "A C how stupid!" I knew it was coming; I suck at Maths so I guess that's why I don't care, just find it funny.

I know what you mean about Maths being weird - in GCSE I got an A* in maths then only an A in Physics. Physics is easy!

jami0mckay said:

Thank you.

But seriously, that's fantastic Ben. Look at it this way. You already knew Maths might be the one you'd struggle a little at. At least you got an A in the others. You've got those, and the one C won't ever matter. Get over that blip that amounts to no more than a letter on a piece of paper and it's all good. You could've had AABB and it would've been worse.

You got the 3 A's, that's all that matters. If you'd have taken 3 subjects you'd have straight A's right now. It's just a letter at this point.

Fauxie said:

I know, I really don't mind; it has no relevance for my university course (french & spanish) and I was just doing it for that. Laughing about the fact that I left Eton a nice fat present when I left. Here, have a C for your troubles.

First thread I clicked on this morning mate,

Saw the C

Fuck indeed, I feared for your UCL spot

UCL is safe?

Then not fuck, but fuck it!

You did really well, A levels are your ticket to Uni, after your degree (s) they dissapear off your CV.

What do you need maths for anyway - masochist!

PreacherMan said:

Are you off to get drunk?

Where did you say you're going to uni?

Fauxie said:

UCL!

I'm at work atm - very anticlimatic! Going out to a fucking expensive restaurant tonight though. Drinking on Saturday.

Enhorabuena Ben!

Predom's right - you can relax now, the first couple of years at uni are a piece of piss too

PREDOMINANT said:

Well, I'm rid of Maths for life. Fucking shit subject.

UCL is indeed safe, by a country mile. - there was never any doubt I'd get in really. The question was always "How bad will my maths result be?" - my A-Level was all about damage control, I knew an A was out of the question.

Thanks.

susannah said:

Indeed!
