Results day!
Woo, it's results day, for AS level students and A2 level students in the UK, who wants to announce their results?
[POSTBOX]
Factuality: High, it is indeed results day, if you didn't know this and are studying A-Levels in the UK, get to your school at about 10am today (19/08/2010) to get your results
Opinions: woo is inferring it's fun, which is an opinion.
Joking: An air of fun, but not really joking
Emotion:
Spelling & Grammar: Maybe near 100%?
Research Sources: None, would something random like this do?

Re: Results day!
Okay, I relent. How much money do we have to pay you to get you to stop doing those postboxes?
Re: Results day!
SaiKar, it's actually annoying you? Jesus, you must find life a right chore to cope with...
[POSTBOX]
Factuality: High, the postbox really isn't affecting anyone or anything. Thus to be annoyed by it is quite petty...
Opinions: That SaiKar needs to get a grip
Joking: Not really.
Emotion:
Spelling & Grammar: Not sure.
Research Sources: None.

Re: Results day!
Sorry Harvey.
Anyways! I have my results
In Maths I got an A*
In Further Maths I got an A
In Physics I got a B
No results from my AEA paper meaning I failed it spectacularly, expectable as I only answered 2 questions of 7 fully, and tried 2 others and failed them
Warwick wanted 3 A grades and a merit in the AEA
Swansea wanted 360 UCAS points (which is equal to 3 A grades) but my previous C in AS chemistry lowers that to being 2 A grades and a C for A2 subjects
I rang both universities to confirm their choice, Warwick said they can't do anything to allow me in after they heard I got a B in Physics but Swansea confirmed my place there
Apparently I was 49 marks off an A in physics, which mostly fell because my 2 peices of coursework were a D and a C, while my exams were 2 A grades, a B grade and a C grade
Also, I wore my Pith helmet when collecting my results, I go in to ring the universities and when I( come out there was a photographer outside, who took a couple photos of me in my pith helmet that will apparently be in the Kettering Evening Telegraph... that'll be fun I suppose, scans when that happens
[POSTBOX]
Factuality: High, I could photocopy my results papers in if you like but it would be difficult, I really was photographed in my pith helmet with my results
Opinions: Sorry is an opinion?
Joking: Not so much but still said with an air of fun
Emotion:
Spelling & Grammar: Not 100% but might be close
Research Sources: My pieces of paper saying my exam results, as i said, I could scan them in

Re: Results day!
Even though I didn't get the grades I needed the Uni has still offered me a place... I don't know whether that's because I was an exceptional candidate or the course is shit and no one else applied for it. My guess is the latter .

Probably because we were old enough to drink during the second year, having got an A in my first year sociology i dropped to an E at almost the exact moment i could legally buy alcohol.
