Everyone's so happy for me now I've finally passed! :D

No matter where I go; who I see - there's always someone to say "I'm really pleased for you, mate!".

So much freedom; so many oppurtunities...
I can go ANYWHERE now! Yes, I could even drive to FRANCE (not that I'd actually want to or anything - especially with Sunday's slaughtering coming up... :P )

I just don't know where I want to go now - after all these months of wanting to get this far; wanting to be able to go on my own...

Quite ironic, isn't it! :)


Speaking of exams and tests, I had my one-and-only one for college today. And, being on the old Carpentry course, as you would expect, it was even easier than.... Jordan!! :S A 2-hour test done within 20 minutes - with very little revision and we still had to wait 'til at least one-hour had passed. :P


Oh, well. At least I got to drive there and back. Listening to me music... On me own... And the only problem I really had (excluding the numorous times I stalled) was when I seemed to cut someone up coming onto a busy roundabout. Damn, I still hate those things...! :P

BEEP! was all I heard. Again, I could swear there was nothing on-coming from anywhere on the right. So, I just got on, raced ahead, and forgot all about it; put it behind myself. Once it's done, it's done. If you're okay, and so is everyone else, it's not worth worrying about any longer, right?


I do take my driving VERY seriously now I'm on my own. I know how long I've waited for this, how many thousands-of-pounds have gone into it all... I don't wanna lose it now!

I do ONLY what we're supposed to, by law. If there's a speed-limit in place, I won't break it by even a single mile-an-hour (unless, of course, I have to overtake a cyclist or something) - even when we're passed the speed cameras. They can drive up my backside all they like, but I'm only doing things right - like we're ALL supposed to.

I haven't even been driving for a full-week now and I've still to make that 2-year mark without having accumilated 6 points or more, or else, as you may know, I'll have to do it ALL all-over-again. (I'm sure Mbomba Duck knows what it's like).

I know there's very little I can do, myself, as an individual, to change the world we live in. But, by doing things like this - by the rulebook - I feel as if I'm making some kind of a difference to others.

I'm no Boy Racer, and I never will be! :P :)

A2s, start 15th, then a 6 day gap to the 21st, when I have about 4 1/2 hours of exams, which finish at 4.30pm. Still, that's enough revision time. Yup. Then the 22nd, although I got the morning to revise, and the 25th. I reckon I'll do alright.

Need BB (one in History) for Uni, and I got A at History AS, and two other Bs (and a C), so that should help a little.

Oh, and this is AS level by the way... I have to experience A-Level next year.

And good luck with further maths, I know where I'd stick that. ;)

I obtained an A at GCSE, very close to an A*. Balls. :D

But yeah, it's a lot different to GCSE. If you understand maths (generally) and want to learn then it's fine, otherwise you'll hate it.

French??!!1111

Such a subject sickens me to my inner core, like all languages really. Can't work 'em.

Oh, and Chippeh, how is Maths for A-level? I hear its pretty difficult, but I'm pretty much one of the top people in my year for Maths so is it worth me doing? What did you get at GCSE for it?

Economics at our school doesn't exist; sure, the subject is officially down in the timetable but no-one attends.

:D

Yeah, I'm thinking about Psychology (although I'd have to go to Escher College to do that, i.e. changing schools), Maths, French and maybe Economics.

Although I've got the whole of next year to think about it before I actually go and put 'em down. Especially seeing as I'm not actually sure what I want to be yet.

Exams are crap.

I'm in the middle of AS exams at the moment: Geography, Maths, Physics and Computing.

Geog- Over and done with, went well (Yes!).
Maths- Bah... finished P1, have M1 wednesday and P2 on the 21st.
Physics- Practical was ok-ish, both exams monday afternoon.
Computing- Coursework/exam went fine, both exams tomorrow afternoon.

I finish on the 21st... and go back to start A2 on the 22nd. That's crap.

Ah well, at least I can wave goodbye to Physics after monday, unless I fail miserably and end up resitting next year.

Exams are fu-un!

Even if by some freak accident you get an A?

Oh, and it feels like it should be Friday today, dammit.
