Cambridge Chat (previously New Cambridge Students Entry 2004)

Haha that's a good plan of action... in fact, the only difference will be that where you went into the wooded area, I'll ave to walk to the big ICI and chemical-venting industrial estate opposite the school, over the 5 train-tracks... god its an unsightly place...

Last year I spent about 20 minutes trying to interpret the UMS marks and all that which I'd been given, to see what overall grade I'd got... that was a hard hard task too, considerin that my hands were trembling...

Lol me too! I had to get my head of sixth form to confirm that I had actually got 3 As cos I couldn't make sense of the info in the envelope. The arrangements at the school were quite dodgy as well - they laid all the results envelopes on a table in alphabetical order, and people came up and searched for their own. Anyone could have opened someone else's envelope and seen their results.

Ahhh I must share this experience with you all - please read it.

Heh, my school's not as bad as that...but all the teachers grin at you as you walk up to get your envelopes, it's kind of annoying. Does anyone else get a strange sort of pleasure before they get results? I know I do...OK, so you may be disappointed, but there's the kind of knowledge that 7 weeks of waiting is finally going to be over. In a weird way, I really like it.

Going to open the results on your own kind of sounds like a good idea, but I have a feeling I'm just going to do it as soon as I get them. Getting exam results is good anxiety-control practice.

Nah..i just open them as soon as i get the envelope....same with the cambridge envelope....came through the letterbox..picked it up..walked into the sitting room..took a deep breath and opened it. I jsut hope to results on thursday match what i felt when i opened the letter from cambridge!

I was on my way out to the gym and my mum caught the postman! I opened it while walking up the road and did the best session I'd done for ages!!

I got my letter on December 31st, which I really wasn't expecting...my mum opened the envelope (she's usually so respectful of my privacy ), and woke me up to tell me.

[I hope so given my rather desultry results]

Ah...i wonder...is it just chinese parents who do that...or all parents?? I know my parents will open anything not addressed to them if i don't get there first!

Desultory...why do I have to tell a linguist that?

dislexic

Actually my mum's normally really good about that...she doesn't ask even when I get some pretty suspicious stuff in the post. But I can't really fault her for wanting to know about Cambridge.
