Ha! No chance. Girls were bloody reading the New Moon book before the film started. When it did start, some started to scream and every time there was a shirt taken off or Gayward Cullen walked on, all the girls started to giggle.

Teacher 3 (Guidance teacher, Teaches Maths and will be writing reference even though she barely knows me) : I read your PS on UCAS, it's great! Come and see me on Monday and we'll try and get it done and sent away.


Arghhhhhh!

Arghhhhhh!

You need to assert yourself. In the end it's *your* application. Decide yourself what to keep and what to take out and then politely rebut any teacher that says otherwise. Too many cooks spoil the broth, as they say.
