That being said in the back of everyones head is the wish to get the most possible points. The system dosent work so well if that wasnt in our competitive nature.
And Fork look at it this way. How did the superpowers stop nuclear war?
I know, I know I probably won't get it, hence me expecting in the 500s, but still, there's a part of me that will be disappointed for not getting the 625 because I could have worked and studied a whole lot more than the two weeks cramming.
And I have no clue, I always was bad at history

I will do that, and be delighted I got my first choice, but I'll still be disappointed because I am a ridiculous person and can't help being annoyed over not getting the 8 As. But then I shall go camping and forget the entire ordeal

Its agreed, everyone get ypur rants/worries out here
Me: Im not sure if I want to do the course I have down as my number 1, everyone gets too stressed out at my house over stupid stuff and just become furious so if I repeat I kinda want to go to a boarding/grind school where I wont have to deal with that stuff any more, also 500 was a realistic aim for me, 525 if I was lucky, but the LC just went balls up for me and I reckon I'll be getting 410 (which is a nightmare cause I've known since primary school I at least wanted 490, 410 wouldnt have been in my worst nightmare) and when I get the points and tell my dad I want to repeat, and also in a grind school he is going to FREAK!!!!!!!!! FREAK FREAK FREAK FREAK FREAK FREAK!!!!!!!!!!! Especially since accommodation has already been sorted
And what if I do repeat and still dont know what I want to do or end up wanting the same course I have down as my number 1.
Im just the sort of person who will feel downtrodded for the rest of my life with my failings to myslef
I really need to see my friends so I can whine to them as opposed to the internet, sorry guys0 -

I've been crying about that thread since its occurrence and been using the tears to water down this special 78% vodka I had imported from Russia so I can continue drowning my sorrows without suffering alcohol poisoning
Ah no, I can handle the truth lads. Life's harsh, just last year I lost my dog. He attacked some sheep, so my family set him up in a lovely farm in the north of France! It's tough not to see him, but I hear he's loving life heh.0 -

Firstly I'll ask why are you unsure?Im not sure if I want to do the course I have down as my number 1, everyone gets too stressed out at my house over stupid stuff and just become furious so if I repeat I kinda want to go to a boarding/grind school where I wont have to deal with that stuff any more, also 500 was a realistic aim for me, 525 if I was lucky, but the LC just went balls up for me and I reckon I'll be getting 410 (which is a nightmare cause I've known since primary school I at least wanted 490, 410 wouldnt have been in my worst nightmare) and when I get the points and tell my dad I want to repeat, and also in a grind school he is going to FREAK!!!!!!!!! FREAK FREAK FREAK FREAK FREAK FREAK!!!!!!!!!!! Especially since accommodation has already been sorted And what if I do repeat and still dont know what I want to do or end up wanting the same course I have down as my number 1.

Second I'll say that while it may be hard you do what you have to do.
Thirdly this feeling of failing yourself. Surely it cant be a failure to succeed in a field you want. The points and all aside is it not the long term of getting a good degree and a career you want that is the real success of all this work?
A worry for me to. While I'm sure most are nice people I dont want to be stuck with two pricks that make my first year home a miseryVito Corleone wrote: »I'll be more anxious about seeing who I have to live with at college than I will be for the results! :pac:
I can relate to the dog story.

As for watering down vodka with tears surely tequila would be better since you already have the salt in the tears.
Dont worry Hugise you arnt going for Comp Sci so you arn't on the list.0 -

I am flattered to be thought of as competition
Edit: damn accidental posting
I am flattered to be thought of as competition
Oh, it would be terrible altogether, especially for all of the people living in close proximity to me, which may include you. Are you a risk taker Mr Attano?0 -

Fair enough. In college all is quite different. Bio is fascinating when looked at in detail.Well science is my numero uno cause I LOVED Bio back in the day, but when I started falling behind I was like ehhhhh, its not as good as I once thought and then I started loving business (although I would never want a career in business, too cut throat) so yeah, I just dont love it the way I used to.
I want to point out that was directed at Forks edit and not an admission of suicidal intent.0 -

Don't worry, I'll make sure that they take care of you after such a traumatic ordeal. You'll have a lovely bed, regular meals, you'll never have to leave your cell! In fact, you won't be able to 0
