Think you've read that wrong love, it's conditional so it depends on my a level results which are oot next week so nope, not got them yet! And technically Hull isn't my firm (tried to get it changed but couldn't) but I am praying and hoping I miss the grades for my firm so I can stick around here and go to Hull uni :smile:


Ah reet! I'm guessing they are your expected grades on ur profile? Still quite wow! Which uni's your firm? I am rather pooping my pants about next week! :s-smilie:
