I did my LAST EXAM TODAY!!!
NO MORE GCSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa, look at me get all capslocky.
I never have to remember another fact about biology, maths, or geography. Unfortunately, my food tech revision seems to have burnt the recipe for filo, shortcrust, and flaky pastry into my brain. There's only one thing for it: I'll have to get drunk and kill some brain cells.
I'm probably going to pierce my cartilage on Monday. More on that later.
Go me for updating! I might even write something and post it!

I leave you on a cliffhanger. Will Becky learn to post cuts to her incredible writing? Or will she be forced to just post it straight to her journal?

Sorry to butt in, but I had to ask--does everyone take their A levels, whether they want to go to university or not?

And hello! Just noticed you'd friended me. :)

Hey to you too!
And no. We take GCSEs at 16, and that's the end of compulsory education. You can leave school and get a job, no problem.

That's interesting. Most of the time here, if you don't get a college/university education, you're stuck with the lower-end minimum wage jobs. Is that true over your way as well?
