# Sorry chap.
Have a look at clearing, but don't feel you have to sign up for any old crap left. A year out may be a good thing.

# I still don't want to go travelling or anything like that.
I'd just try to find a job.

# ^this
I had a lot more choice in clearing, and got into an even better uni

have you had your exam results yet?

# Yeah, last year.
It's an arts course. So it's based mostly on pictures and research and such.

# Only problem is I'd think the course I want to go on fills quickly anyway.

# I got into my Uni by ringing up the Law department
And asking if they had any spaces. I didn't decide I wanted to go until summer, and didn't want to wait till clearing to get it sorted :)

# Clearing is great and all that
But it can make you be a bit ohshitohshit and apply for anything. With me anyway.

# That just reminded me
First time I went to Uni I technically didn't get the grade - I needed AAA and got AABBB. It wasn't until I rang up to confirm my place that I thought about it, and had a really worried few minutes when the admissions guy said "oh you didn't get AAA? I'll have to go and check..."

Not a good feeling!

# I needed AAB and I got CCE
It was pretty much a given that I wouldn't get in.

# Unlucky!
Ultimately I benefited from taking on an extra a-level. I had a good friend who said I was a fool for doing it, but he got AAA and was turned down by 5 out of his 6 choices.
