the title pretty much speaks for itself, I got a letter from school today saying we can come in after 10 but I was planning on going in at 9 don't know how I'm going to kill that hour! :rolleyes: But everytime I go on boards i realise how close it is and get so nervous,feel like I'm destined to repeat! :eek: anyone else…

I'm surprisingly calm, been keeping myself busy but really not liking the fact we have to wait. Another couple of days won't kill me though.

Yes

I don't have it too bad though, I'm flying home on the 17th and I'll get home at about 11pm, which is a nice distraction!

Do all schools send letters out stating the time etc.?

Not sure what time my school is open as i've heard different things off of different people. Probably heading in for about nine if I can get myself up. If it's not open i'll just wait, more than likely I won't be the only person there.

I'm really not nervous, more excited to find out how I did. The waiting is seriously annoying me though.

I honestly couldn't care less about them right now. I probably would be if I thought about them a lot more but I completely forgot about them over the summer. They aren't the end of the world, I mean the worst that can happen is you have to repeat a year but that doesn't mean your life will stop because you have to redo the LC.

Summer was grand I wasn't worried at all... it's only in the past week that I've been this nervous!

I probably won't sleep at all but it still seems so early after a summer of waking up late! I'm sure i'll be wide awake by the time I get to the school gates, thinking the nerves will kick in then :eek:

There is always another way.
