Can others' faith in you be a bad thing?

That's scary, when I was taken out of class it was always with my friend. We felt exactly the same, were both stressed by Uni and grades and both sick of having to grow up.
She's a workaholic though, whereas I'm the sort to want results while sitting around doing nothing.
We're not as close now as we were then but she means a lot to me and I hope once exams die down and stress levels subcede (sp?) everything will be good again.
It was awkward though, because she always planned to apply to Oxford whereas the thought never even crossed my mind. I went to an Oxbrdige presentation talk in Trefforest just as "moral support" for her and for a day out, I was never considered Oxford material.
Then for some reason I ended up applying. While she worked and worked for her entrance exam, I sat back, assuming I'd never get in anyway. We both got to interview. Then she was rejected.
It was SO difficult

Yup...

Got 100% in my january English Literature paper, and now, all of a sudden, everyone expects me to do well in everything else. The morning before another english exam, I had the headteacher going: "Oh, you're going to do it again then? Go for it. You'll do just fine."

Ended up not even finishing the essay. ._.

Doesn't it really upset everyone when they have to write down their predicted grades and its like AAAAA and your thinking it should be more like ACCCC

I've never had anyone "predict" grades so I never really understand that. One thing I do hate is when I say I had AAABC at AS Level and people go "ohh well you've already got three As then"

I mean... it does NOT work like that one of them is literally about 2 marks over the boundary...
