She just didn't like me and said it herself once so that was a downside, she used to always make me uncomfortable but I gave it her back.
Hated and was terrible at Maths, and still am, but excelled in Art (my job).
Was never with the "popular" kids, the sporty types, but we weren't the "geeks" or "goths", I guess we were legitimately inbetweeners, just kind of knew everybody. There was a group of about 10 of us that were always together, lost touch with all but two over the years!
6th Form I found tedious and difficult, I think A Levels are harder than a degree tbh. Plus the teacher who loathed me was head of 6th Form, wasn't fun. Ended up doing not-so-well.
Just realised that I did my GCSE's 10 years ago this year, 2006, wow!

...but maybe doing great though and the furthest from 'not so well', Jonnii...because doing great in those A Levels may have meant that you didn't follow the path of your art, something which you love and are gifted in..I always think it's funny looking back on times that at the time, we didn't think were so great but how they've helped in leading to things that we're happy with now...the great stuff, like doing your art as a job...
