u/HMVangard

So I got ABB. Bs in physics (1 mark off an A) and french (got the minimum marks for it). In all fairness I barely revised for French.

Missed my firm of UoSheffield (A*AA), decided to clear out of my insurance to UoSurrey. Now I've got an offer from Surrey for an MEng in Aerospace.

Both good universities for Aero.

The thing about Sheffield is they have a very active space society, one way more active than Surrey's (which is active in its own right), working on things such as very high altitude flights and even reaching space eventually.

Space societies, specifically ones working in rockery, are something I find really attractive, so much so that it was one of my criterias when applying to uni.

I feel like I'd have pretty bad fomo seeing these grand Sheffield projects while I'm at Surrey.

When it comes to resitting, my parents said they won't pay for any tuition, so if I can't get a spot at a local school I'd have to resit as a private candidate. They're fine with paying for exam and admin fees.

Would I be daft for deciding to resit?

Feeling rather nervous. Doing some last minute listening prep.

Got a clash with physics so I'll do my french paper in the afternoon slot, planning to take my textbook, grammar book, a dictionary, and some printed pages from some online newspapers for some very last minute prep

Mine's F = GMm/r^2, It's so neat and I like space so it rubs me the right way. The idea of calculating the force between 2 masses is so cool, and the fact that we can use it for Kepler's third law and escape velocity (without squaring the r) is awesome

Haven't been eating as much and as well as I usually do since maybe 2nd week of may, anyone else relate? or just me 😞

Did physics yesterday, good paper overall but just realised I messed up the moments question (I, for some reason, included the nonexistent moment of the force of the plank at A) and now I'm in a mood.

Knew in the exam I bottled the second part of the electricity question and a fair chunk of the swing one but the moments question haunts me the most

So I've managed to lock in and now I'm doing pretty well in my subjects. Occassionally, I feel like I'm going to get the coveted AAA I need for my firm, only to feel like I'll mess up when the time comes to sit my papers and miss my offer. Anyone else going through these ups and downs and ups and downs?

Firmed UoSheffield, was wandering if anyone else firmed a shoxbridge (UoSheffield + Cambridge + Oxford) uni. If so, what course?

Almost cried. It felt like I either go to my firm or I die recently but my grades are kinda in the shitter rn. Should be able to get into at least 1 of the unis I applied to but still. I've never felt suicidal before but I just felt like a stain on my family and kept imagining myself just jumping off a building or going to a local park and taking myself out and my family grieving over my dead body and what could've been. I'd imagine those count as suicidal thoughts, it's my first time so I'm not very sure. I feel better now though. Has anyone else felt this way?
