Firstly, I have surprised myself by not being on Blogger for quite a while, perhaps this is something to do with the exam period that thankfully has passed, or the fact that I now have a written journal and cannot find the time to post them electronically...
My news... As I was on holiday whilst everyone received their results I had to wait for the postman to arrive a day later, finally a brown envelope dropped through the letterbox and truthfully, I have never ran so fast, either has my heart beated so fast - nervosity is an understatement. Opening the brown envelope to reveal my overall grades...
Mathematics: B
Which I never thought I would reach, considering I am not a mathematical person, nor am I interested in the subject due to the amount of confusion it entails.
Art & Design: A
I was really pleased with this result, I enjoyed art at times, despite the work load. I got an A* in the exam and A in the course work, I am really proud of what I achieved considering I didn't really like my course work folder, but I suppose they did if I received that grade.
D & T: A
I was shocked by this result... I found the technology exam quite confusing due to the amount of theory that we had to revise and remember: materials, properties, methods of making etc.
Religious Studies: A
I was pleased with an A, but my target was an A* as in mocks I got A*s, but I am very grateful to get an A!
Spanish: B
I am really pleased with my B in Spanish, as the two years doing a modern foreign language was really hard, especially remembering vocabulary and grammar. I got an A in my written course work and a B in speaking, so I am really pleased!
English Language: A
I am so pleased with getting an A, as I really enjoyed English.
English Literature: A*
I was absolutely elated with achieving an A* in English Literature - especially because I am doing it in A-level. I couldn't stop smiling when I found out I got my highest grade in my favourite subject!
Science: A
Considering I don't particulary enjoy Science, I was really pleased that I got an A!
Business Studies: B
I am pleased with a B in Business Studies as on the first exam about a year and a half ago I only got a C, and on the controlled assessment I got a high A, being three marks of an A* (as they raised the mark boundaries), so to get a B overall I am really proud, it is a hard subject.
ICT: Distinction (Equivalent to two As?)
I am really pleased I got a distinction in ICT as I finished all my course work last minute, and didn't think I would reach merit, never mind distinction level! I despised ICT due to all the 'proof' which included continous screen shotting, written proof... It was painful!
I am really pleased with all my results, and I definitely surpassed my expectations of what my overall grades would be - I surprised myself. I am really grateful towards all my teachers, because without them, I would have never reached my grades - so thank you!
I hope I do just as well in A-level or even better... But we shall see when I open the brown envelope to reveal my final results in roughly two years time... I know those two years will go by quick, it is scary to think so... I know I will try my absolute best and aim high!
