Nota Bene

I said it before and I'll say it again, now that the A-Level results have been released: think really hard about why you want that government scholarship. If you go for one, make sure that your reasons are clear and honest, and that you've considered all possible consequences. This last bit I emphasise because a lot happens in university that can change the way you see yourself and your country. I speak from experience here. If you need more details, find out what happened to Elia Diodati, or AcidFlask.
