Got my results on Thursday, ended up with something like a 65.7% average (or 66% as I'm calling it, haha) which I'm pretty happy with. Now I can go on my year abroad next year... yay. :D

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I'm so nervous about tomorrow. I've been out swimming all day trying to distract myself. And then it started to get stupidly stormy on my walk back.

When I think about it logically I shouldn't have anything to worry about. But of course I lose all rationality when it comes to academics.

People kept on telling me how competitive it would be to get into medicine and how if I did resits I would lessen my chances. The UEA says that it sees it as a sign of determination though. But most places explicitly tell you that they wont look at you if you resit.

So basically if I don't get the grades tomorrow I'm applying to maths next year.

Good luck to everyone else waiting for their results.

I keep on intermittently remembering and feeling really sick. I've never been nervous about anything to do with my exams before.

I have two uni placements but don't want to go any more so I plan on rejecting the choices.

I want to get a job I'm interested in, save up for a while then go travelling and or perhaps volunteer with a charity to work in another country and help out.

Good luck everyone with your results! 2 years ago I was absolutely terrified about my results and I stayed up all night the night before due to nerves then actually cried when I finally got the piece of paper with results on.

I hope you all get what you want/need but don't panic if you don't, universities are often open to negotiation.

I am so terrified, it's all I've been thinking about over the past 3 days. I won't be able to sleep tonight but it's alright 'cause neither will my friend so I can just ring him and we can worry together :) I shouldn't be so worried 'cause I remember being quite positive about my exams but anything could happen. I'm hoping that if it comes to it maybe Nottingham will have me with AAB? I could always go to Queen Mary with AAB but I already have a flat in Nottingham so looks like I would have to take a gap year. Ahhh I don't want to think about it anymore. I know I will cry no matter what.

10.00 tomorrow.

I am freaking out a little bit. I am leaving to go to college in ten minuites and i am going to find out my first year was a complete waste and i have to do it all again because they think it would be best as i only found out this year i am dyslexic. I am guaratneed to get U's and E's even though i worked so hard for it! I am guaranteed to cry whilst my friends say they only got B's. Seriously i wouldn be crying if i go ta B. OK maybe i would because i would be happy. In the january exams my freinds were like "i only got B! What did you get?" "An E." "Thats not too bad" Are you calling me stupid? Its not bad for me but you get a B and its the end of the world. Grrr... Sorry about that. I am babbling. I do this when nervous apparently.

Best of luck to everybody!

    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
