gollark: Apparently UK university admissions are *partly* based on predicted grades and not actual grades for some insane reason. I might not actually go to university because universities are frequently problematic, but I don't really know what to do instead.
gollark: I'm doing maths/further maths/physics/CS, so I *probably* can reasonably decide to do that.
gollark: Maybe I should go into something mathy or physicsy instead.
