Thank you for the advise Melly. I do hope that my scores are good. Wouldn't want to have dreadful NEWTs and have wasted a couple of years that could have been spent seeking out a job. Though it wouldn't be entirely wasted as I think about it. I wouldn't have been a captain if I hadn't stayed past my OWLs. How strange life is, with the different paths in life we could have taken and how it might have changed who we are.
Do you think I could convince mother to send me to the Sanditon? That could be fun.
Lucky
