    All students finishing school this year in the state I live received their final school results today. Statewide exams and external marking etc etc.

    My daughter was very nervous - she didn't really know what to expect. She's pretty bright but didn't have super high expectations. Results were released online at 7am. I was up early - didn't hear any commotion from her room. By 7:15 I was getting a little concerned.

    7:20am comes around and she opens her door...pops her head out. Zero expression on her face so I was expecting average results.

    Then she breaks out in the biggest grin you've ever seen. Her results were super impressive...to the point where she's guaranteed her first choice at University. And also guaranteed virtually every course she could wish to do, including Law...save for science related courses which she has no interest in.

    Happy days!
