My A level results came out a couple of weeks ago – two As and a C. Could have been worse but not what I was exactly hoping for and the C was a bit of a kick in the teeth because even though I was only short of a B by nine marks, I just missed my uni offer.

But not for me the sad face; I’m going to spend this year getting some work experience in my chosen field, do a little travelling and resit a couple of modules to push my grade up.

It’s not quite what it says on the tin but I’ll consider this goal done when/if I’ve finally got my B.
