101 in 1001: December 2019

Well hi guys!

...
....
...

I PASSED UNIREADY!

Pop the party poppers and guzzle the champagne!

I'm honestly so pleased - I even passed with scores higher than the lowest pass mark! I definitely want to do better in my course next year though. It was a very stressful few weeks waiting for results to come out and the moment they did was such a relief.

Also terrifying, because now I'm definitely going to university next year. Who would have thought that would ever happen?! Certainly not me.

The end of the year is fast approaching however, and with it another month of 101 in 1001 goes. I don't feel as though I've been dedicated with my list and, well, you'll see the results below.
