Not until 09.30 @ the skool.
But the offers were sent by email in the small hours. She got unconditionals from both choices and has already replied accepting Hogwarts.

Stephen Fry (YES that one) has just tweeted to congratulate her!  eeek:

Well he did write two course work essays for her so she thought she should tell him.

 eeek: Indeed. I admit it is taking networking to a whole new level.

She was struggling with the essays and tweeted to that effect. Mr Fry, with whom she has corresponded for a couple of years, offered suggestions, asked to see what she had done and then made many alterations and sent them back. She submitted them and the teacher picked holes in them. Today is the day she plans to tell the teacher involved who it was that actually wrote them.  Finger:

Say what you like about him Mr Fry is a very generous man.

THW is borrowing Woodstock's car to go and collect her results in a few minutes. When she returns Woodstock is off to see how her students have done.
About half of them are at the College having been thrown off the A levels courses at the same skool as useless and unlikely to achieve (It's the way the skool tries to boost their results).
Woodstock hopes that she has got some of them through ..... just to prove that the History dept at the skool are shite!


All in all this could prove to be a good day at the Kennels.
