Durham!

Hello everyone!

Today I got my A level results and I got 4 As in English, History, Psychology and General Studies which means I have now confirmed my place to study English Literature at Durham University.

I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone on the ABC tales community who has supported me these past two years, I really, really appreciate it ;)

Hurrah ! Well done Rebecca.

 

Thank you chooselife :) I'm just so relieved - first time I can really exhale in two months! Magic xxx

 

Congratulations! I loathe the naysayers who say these exams are getting easier - it's just that you lot work harder than we did. This is a real achievment and you should be very very proud of yourself. Now get oop thair and learn to speak proper. And spread the ABCtales word around Durham Uni!
Well done Magic!!! I'm very happy for you xx

k.

Thank you Tony and Beeme! I'll definitely spread the ABC word, don't worry ;) Magic xxx

 

We are, of course, all invited to the celebration ! ?

 

I got my AS level results today. I got two E's, a C and ungraded in general studies :/ I did very badly.

k.

new Beeme sorry, but you know you can do it, don't let it get to you at all. Fight for it, go girl. I was hopless at school, no certificates. all the best we love you. julie xx
Of course, chooselife! Champagne all around ;) Don't worry, Beeme - there's plenty of time to turn things round next year!! My friend Tom got the same results as you in his AS exams and ended up at Cambridge! So have faith and things WILL work out for you ;) Magic xxx

 

Wow thankyou Magic I feel alot better now :) Beeme xx

k.

No problem - quite a few of my friends didn't get what they wanted at AS. But just think of it as still having your training wheels on - and if you work hard you'll be free-riding before you know it. It's next year that can make the big difference - so chin up, I'm sure you'll do amazingly ;) Magic xxx

 

Magic, you did magic, again;-) Over the moon for you, kid...and some. Tina xxx

 

Magic, Congratulations!!! You deserve it.:D I do hope you continue to post your work here, I for one learn so much from it.

 

Beeme, Don't worry, there's always something around the corner, you just can't see it yet, trust in it.

 

Thank you Tina and Shirley!! Of course I intend to keep up my ABC career whilst at Durham and maybe get us some new members from the university pool ;) Magic xxx

 

Thank you again Magic and shoe :)I'm trying to be postive, its next year that really counts :) Beeme xx

k.

Magic, big congratulations on your brilliant results, and for getting your place at Durham. I hope you have a thrilling rest of the day now. Beeme, Magic is right about AS being a wake up call for loads of people who go on and do very well next year, as I'm sure you will, but I'm sorry for your disappointment this morning xxx

 

Just like to add my congratulations. Well done Rebecca and very best wishes for your time at Uni. David xxx :--)

cool

Congratulations, Magic - have a fab time at Durham. Just to echo what everyone else has said to Beeme - so many people stumble at AS and then turn it around. It's what AS is for, really.
Thank you Insert :) Beeme xx

k.

Thanks Margharita :) Yes it was defiantly a wake up call. Beeme xx

k.

With a brain like yours, you'll soon be the captain of your University Challenge team, as I have already predicted. Very well done on your results. Best wishes, Luigi xxx PS Love the photo in the ABC mag.

Thank you Louise! It's a brilliant English course at Durham - can't wait to get stuck in ;) Magic xxx

 

Well done, Lem. You will love Bath.

 

Good luck to those who achieved their grades and sympathy to those who still have a way to go. Remember, University is not a destination but rather a staging post. It doesn't really matter how long it takes you to get there or even if you decide to take a different route. It's the home at the end of the road that's important and whether you were able to help other travellers on the way. I wish you all a good journey. Helvigo Jenkins
