Today - Results Day

Quote of the moment: "I'm sorry to tell you that..."

So, today was the big one... resultus dayus... and, as expected, mine were not great. CCD, with the D in maths. Rather poo, in fact. Had I scraped a C in maths, I might have held onto an offer, admittedly reduced to BEng from MEng, but as it is, no chance...

So, clearing: Swansea - tiny chance, Plymouth - can go, that's about it from decent places... Plymouth suffers in the tables cos of having no research, but it owns in the teaching marks (23/24) so I'm considering it...

Otherwise, it's resit time... Definitely Maths, maybe the other two as well, it depends on what the admissions tutors from Bath and Cardiff say they'd require from me next year... So it's all a bit up-in-the-air at the moment...

I don't want to rush into any place I can get, cos I want to be able to check out the Uni first and all... So I dont know if I will do anything through clearing this year... Plus now that it's open again, the possibility of heading off somewhere for a bit does sound quite pr0... Doing a gap tutor stint, or something... tis a bit late, I know, but I could maybe go for 6 months after Christmas or something... Dunno... Another possibility is working for a while to earn some money for a Parachuting course... tis apparently about £800 for a pro one in the states (not including flights)... Tis a week long, but cos of the clear skies and steady winds (unlike in Britain) you can jump pretty much all the time, and do something like 20 jumps in that week... freefall... getting onto skydiving stuff by the end of the week, all the steering yourself in the air bit before pulling the ripcord... sounds like an ownage trip...

Speaking of ownage, today was actually quite pro... Had lunch at the 3 horseshoes (including chips with sweet and sour sauce - awesome combo) then hit Cineworld, saw Pete Vernon's awesome, Toploader style, big, fuzzy, almost fro like hair, watched "I, Robot" which was pr0 apart from the coporate advertising bits, and the unneccessary messiah sideline subplot... Never-the-less, a pr0 film... Then we hit KFC (and I betrayed Podgy's anti MacDonalds passion to get a Big Mac next door) and took it home to Kaz's house... I'd like to point out that Harry went around the roundabout twice, twice... :p Once on the way to KFC, ffs, and again going to Kaz's house... Which was pr0, in particular the chair which would fit one Will, or Kaz and Tirzah together... Lol... Cable Guy was t3h r0x0r, as was scanning the channels and finding filth on all 3 non BBC ones... Call in the Daily Mail, surely!

That's about it for now... I'll FOAGTB :D
