Well, here I am, in the twilight hours of the evening contemplating the eight or so hours that I've just experienced.

To be fair, I don't think it would be right to limit this entry on just mentioning the hours of this day, you see for the past few days I've slept really badly, and in general have just been tense. TENSE. Perhaps to some this is ridiculous, but I just feel that today has been the sum of two years of hard work; today is the day that I see the sum of my efforts.

So I woke up this morning, at 6AM, practically dazed out of my skull; cue the next three hours of me gradually becoming more and more nervous. It is one of those sort of strange, baffling feelings -- the feeling that in next few hours your whole mindset will be different, it also felt like I was mentally divorcing myself from the past two years of GCSEs (and everything with that), which have occupied my mind a lot. Maybe too much.

But all was well, I reached school, picked up my results, and they are as follows:

English A*
English Literature A*
Media Studies A*
Geography A*
History A*
Science A*
Science Additional A*
Statistics A*
Mathematics A
Religious Education A (during Y8/9)
ICT B, C (Double Award)
Physical Education B
Resitant Materials Technonlogy C

So overall 8A*s, 2As, 2Bs and 2Cs.

I'm pleased with that, afterall they are the results I have won for myself.

What next? A levels. I have to say I'm looking forward to it, the sheer intellectual thrill -- the challange.

Who knows what's next anyway, isn't that part of the fun?
