Exam Results and the Impending Future

Exam results day; that one magical day in the summer where almost every sixteen year old in the country is worried about letters of the alphabet printed in capitals on an enveloped sheet of paper, albeit, extremely important letters.
As always, I was really nervous about going to get my results, but I'm actually really happy and surprised with what I got; I didn't even hope that I'd have done nearly as well as I did!
I got:
A* - Maths, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, History, German and Business,
A- English Language, English Literature, P.E, Art, ICT (Distinction, counting as 3 A grades)
B- Music (Damn you music, Damn you)
and I also got an A in AS English LangLit, a B in AS Art, and a B in the Foundations of Advanced Maths.

7 A*'s, 7 A's and a B - I seriously never imagined that I would do as well as I did, even getting full marks in four of the exams I took earlier in the summer! My results are nowhere near the highest anyone got in my year, but I'm just happy that I managed to get 7 A*'s, which I think (maybe) is the amount you need to get into a good university. Getting a B in music will make getting into somewhere especially good harder, but I don't really mind. I really couldn't have done any better!
(Hopefully this doesn't sound like I'm bragging, because I honestly don't mean to sound like that...)

My results mean that I'll definitely be able to do all of the subjects I want for A level, being English Lit, History, German and Psychology, and that my predicted grades should probably be something similar to AAAB, which is good.

My friends all did amazingly too, so it seems that despite all of the 'grade turbulence' the exam boards warned about, everyone I know has come out on top. Yay!

Now to celebrate with cake :D
