So, an update.
Got my GSCE results. Not fantastic, I must admit. No A*s (Blame it on the coursework - great exam results and shoddy coursework - that's what happens when you don't cheat), couple of As, mostly Bs, and a C in art, which doesn't really count.
Did better than I would have liked in RS, especially since I made slightly less than tasteful comments about danish cartoons. Anyway, the GCSE results will do. They're not abismal. At least I didn't get all U's, like a certain person I know...
Doing my A levels now. Decided that further maths would be too much, so I stuck with 4 A levels instead - Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. Certainly an eyebrow raising combination. Most people think I'm mad, but I find that the 3 sciences are a good combination - they compliment each other nicely. I find that each subject slightly enhances my knowledge of the other, giving me a bit of an edge in all of them. I've also discovered that my favourite subject is physics. So, to all you mean old middle aged people who relish in the idea that the youth of today are too stupid to enjoy physics, please observe the following animation.
Unfortunately, Maths isn't going so well. I chose mechanics, and still maintain that I would have gotten a better grade if I'd been allowed to take the subject that I CHOSE, however, I was forced into taking statistics. I have never understood statistics and probably never will. All because the new head of maths thought it might be interesting to mix the two. Evil Evil Evil grrrrrrr. I shant go on too much, else I may become slightly irritated. So, to sum it up, I'm stuck with a module that I can't pass (as in above a C) and that my teacher openly admits I can't pass (how wonderful for the self esteem), rendering my maths A level useless. :-( How on earth can I get offered a place on a Physics or an engineering degree if I don't have a decent Maths grade!! :-(
So, on that warm, happy and comforting note, I shall bit you a good night!
Vicky :-)
