Heh.
AAB to BCC with an A in general studies. If I'd have gotten 2 marks more in German, it'd have been an A, and I would have gone to London to study medicine (They really liked me at interview, basically). Something I've never really forgiven my German teacher for marking my coursework down for 'not relating to Germany enough' when I'd written a factually correct and linguistically excellent piece on the role of nuclear power on the future of the European Union. I am aware that resentment is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die, but it still galls me a bit. That and I should have worked harder. In my defence, the casual slip shows quite how good the surf was around that time, and the super fun trips I was taking with the MrsA of the period, walking to find secluded coves and the like.
Still, it got me where I am today, so I grateful for small mercies, and I don't think I'd have been a terribly good doctor, either.
It vexes me when people say that the exams are getting easier, but I've banged that drum before.
