It will be easier if you could:

Date your letter and number them eg put a 1 on your first letter this means Ill know if I'm missing any letters :)

(this is not the best option as my internet will be highly unreliable if I have it at all)

Results

So there are 8 days left before I go and yesterday I received my A level results, I achieved A*s in Chemistry and Maths, and As in Further Maths, Biology and General Studies. This means I have achieved the grades I require to attend Cambridge University to study Natural Sciences when I return from Guyana :)

Knowing my future for the 3-4 years following Guyana has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders as I will no longer have to worry about applying for university whilst there. I'm looking forward to attending University but I am still positive that the decision to take a gap year was the right one for me. It will allow me to have time off from education and explore myself in a totally new situation and environment.

This will probably be my last post before I leave so I would just like to thank everyone who has helped and supported me in my fundraising - I couldnt have done it without you all.
