But also... shi-i-it I've just suddenly sort of realised that if I get the A-Levels I'm actually going to be going to Cambridge and SITTING IN LECTURES AND LEARNING STUFF!

It's taken, what, 4 and a half months to sink in and now I'm wetting myself.

I'm up at this stupidly early time during the holidays for NO GOOD REASON AT ALL.

Well, it was a good reason, I had a doctor's appointment for my first Hep B vaccination (owwee) but still. So early.. maybe go back to bed now..

ooo That form is for academic year 2005/2006,,, dont we need 2006/2007? Should we just ring up our local lea place and ask them to send a new form?

Reply 1413

ooohoo! just phoned them and i can go pick up the form tomorow! :biggrin:

So apparently there are two deadlines, the basic one for the 3000 pounds a year (without declaring your parents income) which is 28th of april, and if you need extra help you have till june. Weird.

The finance bit of TSR is quite helpful on such things... though it's a place that terrifies me deeply, on principle.

Revision was destroying my soul, so I baked cookies! They're ok considering i had to make them with quality street and celebrations as we didn't have cooking chocolate in the couse. I suggest doing something equally as inane if you're stressed :biggrin:

I know the feeling! I'm writing up biology notes just now as well, it takes ruddy ages but it means we'll have good material to actually revise from, as opposed to searching through textbooks and learning irrelevant material... in theory.
