Terranova's journey to curving a UUU

Greetings. :bubbles:

I'm Jackie and due to reasonably popular demand, I'm going to be doing a sequel to the trainwreck that was my Year 12 GYG. Hopefully I'll actually keep this one updated?? We'll see owo

Nobody cares about GCSEs at this point but my results were 2A*s, 6As and 3Bs, which is below average for TSR, I know.

Still not particularly impressive at AS-level with an ABB in geography, maths (both Edexcel) and physics (AQA) respectively. Everything considered though, I'm pretty happy with it.

So this means that I'm likely to be predicted an A*AA or something like that so here I am. Yes, the title suggests lower standards but my goal is an A*AA or higher at the end of Year 13, and those grades aren't going to grow themselves.

University choices:
Cambridge (lmao): Geography, A*AA - INTERVIEW CONFIRMED
Exeter: Geography BSc, AAA - OFFERED, ABB IF FIRMED
Bristol: Geography BSc, AAA - OFFERED
Southampton: Geography BSc, AAB - OFFERED
KCL: Geography BSc, AAB - OFFERED

The long term goal for about 10 years from now is to be giving you the weather report or otherwise working with or researching weather, climate and the atmosphere. Likely degrees to help me get there are probably geography, environmental sciences, or just straight up meteorology. So far my PS probably covers the first two.

I'm already regretting the uwu aesthetic and will probably want to nuke this GYG this time next year, just like I want to nuke my Year 12 GYG. :bubbles:

Anyway, here comes the taglist, with old buddies, buddies I remember commenting but don't remember if they asked to be tagged or not, and new. Lmk if you want to be added, lmk if you want to be removed. :heart:

Good Luck!!!
I support these kind of threads as this gives other students motivation or in the worst case, what could go wrong but was the title a click bait or am I too dumb?

The title was humour, I'm surprised if people are coming in thinking I got UUU when it very clearly says "...curving a UUU". As in, I don't want a UUU at the end of Year 13. So I'm working towards not getting a UUU, which is obviously a joke when you see that my actual goal is A*AA. It's the opposite spin on "journey to AAA" or whatever.

Nah I'm probably gonna do the actual research and observations and someone easier on the eyes than me can stand in front of the camera LOL. But yeah, that's the kind of dream career I have in mind.
