My final grades were confirmed this morning.

I am definitely going to Oxford.

I'm not sure what to say. I didn't really expect any of this to happen.

It hasn't been all that difficult either 💀 at least not as difficult as I would have thought.

I think this sums my feelings up pretty well

Wow that's amazing! Your life has taken some pretty sharp twists and turns!

I never would have thought this possible. To spend my teenage years and most of my twenties as I did, and to finally make it to a place like that. It's like something out of fiction.

It's a miracle that I'm even breathing, never mind that 😅

@SaorUladh I find that going back to school when you are older is so much easier. There comes a certain maturity that makes studying easy and more relevant. I went back to school when I was 30 and I enjoyed it. I'm proud of you!

@JimboSaturn
Yeah. I'm glad to be doing it now. I wouldn't have had the motivation or discipline to succeed in that environment when I was younger.

Now it's different. I'm going there to be the best I can, and I'm not letting anything distract me.
