Apologies
Ok, I'm really sorry to everyone who offended in my last entry! (I seem to be really good at unintentionally offending everyone, I am really really sorry!) What I was trying to say, and failing miserabley, was that my Standard Grade results were bad FOR ME, I mean, I was expected to get straight 1s, I was disappointed in myself, and my parents were FURIOUSLY disappointed in me (but then, my mum is kind of a tyrant... she admits it herself!)
I didn't mean that the results themselves are bad, if it hadn't been for the disappointment of my parents, I wouldn't have minded too much.
Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that I don't think the results are bad. I was aware that lots of my friends were disappointed, and was just talking in reference to my own experience, and some friends (ie, Kate and Danny Abercrombie - Kate did worse than expected in SGs, but worked really hard for Highers and did really well, Danny did brilliantly in SGs, but not that well in Highers - basically he thought he could rest, but kate renewed her efforts.) I'm not saying I'm right, or that any of you didn't revise enough (except Aylson, knowing from experience on SGs, and plus I'm still bitter, so of course I was going to be nasty - I seriously am trying not to bitch, though!)
I just was very surprised that I seem to be doing better than lots of my straight 1 friends, (sorry, that's not meant to be an insult, I'm astonished!), and I figured that's because I worked probably twice as hard as was necessary for some exams... anyway, the prelims are like a dry run, so you know what to expect!
In conclusion (history essay phrase!) I was trying to offer reassurance, it obviously backfired, and I am really very sorry...
Shovels will be gratefully accepted.
Also, reading Les Yeux d'Antoine (French book), there's a big bit about the main character, Manu, who basicllay because of her brother terrorising her boyfriend, loses the boyf, and is really upset. Then there's some analogy about pigs wallowing in mud (ask Jude to explain it, he was being comically outraged) and wallowing in sorrow, or misery, or whatever...
Anyway, i was thinking last night, about things since my bday, and geting all upset last night - I mean, it kind of hit me again, since then I've tried to put it out of my mind, but it caught up with me again. Anyway, I want to apologise to everyone for still going on about it, for living in the past, and for being bitter. I'll try not to wallow!
