:D :D :D

(For anybody a bit confused - GCSEs are compulsory national exams in the UK, which affect your entry to university, as well as being a critical part of your CV in later life.)

[Karen]

Excellent news, we knew you'd do well!

[AdoreMyDogs]

Wow GOOD JOB!!!!! WoooHooo you go, Girl! You should be very proud of yourself, that's just wonderful!

[Miss Z]

Thank you!!! :D

What makes it even better is that the other two highest achievers are two of my best friends. We had a photo together with our results statements which, when the teacher gets it developed, I'm going to keep in a frame.

I may have lost out on a lot of time on Pet Talk preparing for these exams, but at least it paid off!

[lizbud]

Congratulations :)

[Taz_Zoee]

Congratulations Zara!! Of course, we all knew you could do it. :)

'OK, so I'll need your name...what's that? Zara Evan? No? Zara Evans?...'

'Oh your name reminds me of a song *begins to sing Heaven is a place on earth or something to that effect*' lol.

Thank you everyone!

Congratulations!!

I officially finished senior school in mid-May, then my exams lasted from about that point to mid-June. Since then, I've been on my summer break. :) I don't know why the results have to be announced so near to the end of the holidays - I suppose it must take a while for every 5th year student in the country to have their results totted up and compared to the rest of the country!

I'm due to start Sixth Form College this September and then begin studying for my A level exams. No rest for the wicked! :p

[Killearn Kitties]

CONGRATULATIONS!

I am SO impressed! That studying really paid off. I hope you are having a great summer break that leaves you all refreshed and ready for more. :p

[Medusa]

A wonderful accomplishment and a beautiful memory to share w/your other friends. Congratulations!

[Alysser]

Doesn't surprise me a bit, Zara! Congratulations, and awesome job!! :D

[gemini9961]

Congrats Zara! Very well done. :)

[Miss Z]

Once again, thanks people! :D

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

WOW, Zara, that's an major achievement!! CONGRATS!!!

[lovespeaks]

congratulations congratulations. :)

[Miss Z]

More thank yous! :D

It's amazing how many people ask you about your GCSEs, from neighbours to shop assistants to the people on the NHS helpline. :p It's great to be able to say I got 10 A*s!

I also bought my business suit for Sixth Form today - well, make that suits, I couldn't quite decide between two, so, I got them both. :D As well as that I'd previously bought two pairs of shoes and three shirts - now I just need handbag(s!) and I'll be all set!

[gini]

You should be very proud of yourself! Congratulations!

[K9karen]

Brillant & Beautiful!

Congrats Zara! *Pats Zara on the Back*

[Miss Z]

You people are all so lovely, thanks once again. :D

Well, my two friends and I have planned a trip to a theme park in celebration of our achievements - should be a great end to the summer!
