Thinking About Thursday

Some of you may have realised that I’ve not had much time to come online over the last few days so firstly, hello, I’m still alive. :D

It’s Monday now, meaning there are only three days until A Level results day. I’ve suprised myself so far in how I’ve managed to get on with things without letting the thought of results day bother me, although I’ve noticed the last couple of days I’ve been thinking about it a little more.

I’m expecting thursday to be chaos. I need to track down some form of proof that I passed my recent exam on my saxophone and show it to the university. Unfortunately, I doubt that the “I Passed” entry on my blog is a valid form of proof. :P Also, if I just miss my expected grade in music I need to ring the university to check that they’ll still take me…that doesn’t sound fun. As the whole country get A Level results on the same day I expect that university phone lines will be quite busy, thus adding to the overall stress of the day…not good.

To be quite honest, I think I’ve got results that my chosen university will accept, but the whole business of providing various forms of proof to them is the hard bit and I seem to be worrying more about that than my actual results. The A Levels aren’t a problem, as the relevant exam boards will pass the results direct to the university. The saxophone exam however is more difficult as the results come direct to me, and the official certificate of proof is unlikely to arrive any time soon. It’s that certificate that I need to pass on to the university, so as you might imagine, it’s all getting a little complex.

I’m sure I’ll find time to post an entry on thursday. Hopefully it’ll be good news. Once I’ve posted don’t expect to see much of me for the rest of the day. I plan to go straight to the pub once I’ve collected the results and made any appropriate phone calls. I imagine I’ll be staying there for most of the day…hopefully to celebrate. :P

Untill thursday, I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
