RESULT!

Hello there! I won't beat around the bush, I passed my A levels and have got into Manchester Uni. I got B for Geography (I even scraped a C in module 4, which I was certain I had failed), C for history although I wasn't far off a B and most surprisingly, my Biology was a B, going up from C last year. Just. Also got a B in general studies :). Which means I have fufilled the BBC requirement for Manchester and so I'm off in september to do Geography and geology.
Today has been a strange sort of day. I woke at 8 to get ready to walk up with Chibi. I was feeling very nervous. I opened a piece of mail from UCAS and it seemed to be a piece confirming my offer. I refused to believe it at first when I read it and showed it to Chibi when she turned up. She read it and burst out laughing. After that the nerves virtually disappeared and instead I was able to chill out as I walked up with Chibi, Kris and hadlow, none of whom had recieved any sort of confirmation. When we reached school everyone else seemed to be in a panic. After picking up the results I went outside and people were exchanging results. Most were jubilant and there were plenty of handshakes although there were a few tears. Most of my friends did well with their results too. Not sure about OWA's results as he is not in the country so his letter remians unopened. Chibi seems a doubt for manchester, which is a blow. I hope she gets onto a good course.
Wanted to go out and celebrate with my mates in pubs, but everyone is busy with other stuff. God that sucks! Maybe I'll buy a bottle of whiskey in a brown bag and sit in the park and drink it by myself. I'm not staying sober today!
I felt relief at having got onto the course, but then the jubilation wore off and I was stood outside the LRC just thinking about what this all means. I was stunned and the rest now seems a bit of a blur. I know its inevitable but now I know that I will 'fly the nest' and leave my family and friends. Also Stacey. She isn't coming with me to Manchester and we agreed that trying a long distance arrangement wouldn't work, so we will split when I leave for uni. She was happy to hear I did well but saying goodbye will be tough. We have been dating a long time and it will be sad to end it all, even if we both know it has been coming for a long time.
Saying goodbye to my mates as well, many of whom I have known for a long long time. Kris and I were in reception class together and OWA has been a mate since year 5. I'm sure we will still be in touch. If nowt else I will continue to update this and hope OWA keeps reading! And everyone else for that matter! Most others in my group are staying at home, so they will still be together most of the time.
I continued feeling all brooding and downcast untill I opened mum and dad's congratualtions card which they had hidden and told me about when I rang them. It was possibly the best card ever! A musical with a clip of Cliff Richard singing. What a hoot. Never thought I would dance to sir cliff, but I guess i was wrong. I cheered up after that.
Ok time to end this. I will write about the rest of my week tomorrow or tonight if there's nothing else happening. Hope to see you all soon.
