enrolled for my second year at sixth form college - they made me drop philosophy [and blamed me for failing, which you would, except everyone failed it but for one boy who had extra tuition. hmmmmm...] so. i'm now doing:

English Lit - A Level
History, Modern - A Level
Psychology - AS Level [all that stuff on eating disorders should be nice and triggering]
Contemporary Studies - AS Level [counted as three AS Levels because it wraps up three subjects, and you sit three exams at the end of the year]

I'm now actually looking forward to it! Psychology and Contemp. should be really good. I have to resit three - four exams and hopefully I should come out of college with all As, even if it means i have 2 A levels and ... like.. 3 or 4 AS levels. I'm going to check the points needed for university. I'm going to apply to Portsmouth and Cardiff universities, to possibly study English or ... Psychology..? [If I get along with it this year]. I'm going to have about 420 points [if i pass everything with flying colours], but it depends if they'll accept that i've only got 2 full A Levels as opposed to the more conventional three.

Points needed for Cardiff to gain entry [to study Psychology]: - it doesn't say points, but it does require ABB in A Level grades --[lets face it. i'm screwed, because of philosophy. fucking great.] -
Points needed for Portsmouth to gain entry:---- 240 - 300. hmm.

but what if they won't let me in because of how the points are distributed? i honestly don't think it can be down to the students when only one student in all the philosophy groups passed 'with flying colours'. but would a uni believe me? what do i say? uh, hi madam, yeah, i only have 2 a levels because one of my teachers was a real wanker, so i got a U in his subject?

...

waaaaaa.

[but, see. i'm all ambitious. i like it. even if it means i'm left crying outside the gates of pompy uni].
