I often employ sarcasm at the most inappropriate times, so please don't be too squicked if I say something crazy - chances are I'm kidding (probably).

Yeah, graduated from O levels into AS. I realize that GCE was used wrongly by me, but for us, it was first IGCSE, so GCE in our sort-of-slang is A levels. And ha, that reminds me of when we did English Literature (didn't take it as an O level subject though) - it used to be fun to cook up stuff :')
Growing Up Rough is actually my favourite story by you, since I can relate to a lot of it given my area is notorious for gang crime :d I hope you update. –A Total Stranger
@iswearidontbite Ooh, good luck with that. When you say graduated, do you mean you've gone into sixth form/college? See in Scotland your two optional years are just part of high school, and college is just considered an adult version of high school. Is GCE like A-level? And yeah, close reading is just an interpretation paper. You're given a a passage and then asked things ""quote and explain an expression which..." or "explain why literary technique is used in paragraph 8 and why it is effective", blah blah blah. Only counts for a quarter of your final grade though (thank God) as you get a writing paper, a talk grade and a folio grade :)
Yeah, exactly. And if you go wrong at one step, there's always ecf (error carried forward) - we have sung that song in our Pure Math class I don't know how many times :D English close reading? I'll take that to be normal English, and yeah, cooking stories, but I enjoyed it. That's Psychology for me now. Nope, I graduated last year. Tomorrow is my first GCE paper :p
@iswearidontbite Haha, oh man, I know what you mean. And yeah, that's something I like about maths - you find a solution(s) and it's right or wrong. None of they wishy washy interpretation that constantly crop up in English close reading D: Outta curiosity, are you at GSCE level?
Yay :p I love the nothing-short-of-genius feeling moments like that afford you. And there's nothing ever undoable in Math. It's fun finding your own ways in desperate times ^_^
@MusicSavedMeTonight@soccer_nerd_6 Haha, aw, thanks man. The thing about GUR is that I have this icky tendency to compare it to Top and Tail, which is by far the most popular thing I've ever written (even on my old Wattpad account, which had something ridiculous like 26 fans :B). However, it haven't abandoned it!! It might take a month, it might take a year, but I will bloody update it... ...eventually :D
@DVoidOfTruth I'll take that as a compliment? ;D
@Redhead_Adventure Ahh, oh my God, you don't know how happy you make me! The feels I get when I see messages like yours! :') asdfghjkl, I love fluff and you :)
@iswearidontbite And you are awesome too ;) [I did my Standard Grade maths exams on Friday and there was nothing like, TOTALLY UNDOABLE, but we still had folk nearly greeting proclaiming "it was the hardest thing I've ever done" and "I hate maths so much!" :| ]
