Trainers or Heels

At my school we have a thing called a careers interviews which is where you talk to a lady about all the different options that you have post 16. I found this to be very interesting and helpful as it made some things a lot clearer. I thought I'd share some information about it in order to help any of you guys out there. 1. Most Universities want you have a facilitating subject. I'm sure most of you have heard this word being thrown around and this has got you into a panic because you think that you will have to take classes that you don't enjoy. Well this is completely not the case. The list of facilitating subjects are as follows: English literature  History  Modern Languages – e.g. French, German, Spanish etc…  Classical languages – e.g. Latin, Ancient Greek Maths & Further Maths  Physics Biology Geography Chemistry Russell group universities suggest that you take at least one if not more of these subjects because if you don't then there will ...

Hey guys I'm super sorry that my posts haven't been that consistent I've just been a little swamped by trying to start my revision for my mocks. On Monday I had my French speaking exam (the one I didn't prepare for) so I wanted to tell you how it went. Basically that day I was already quite sad that I was back at school but to make it worse I had an exam that I hadn't prepared for, that I couldn't just wing. I was so nervous about it that I was shaking while trying to get in some last minute revision.

Hey guys sorry I've been gone for a while I hope you didn't miss me too much. This week was the half term and I did absolutely nothing so there wouldn't be anything to talk about, not that that's a valid excuse. I go back to school on Monday and I'm getting back on track so be expecting almost daily posts from me about how amazingly exciting and wonderful year 11 is. Well it is for those of you who loves tests, pressure, homework and LOTS of controlled assessments. Anyway during this week I managed to laze around, watch TV and watch at least 6 movies but somehow I didn't manage to do any revision or pick up a book at all. It's so bad, especially when my mocks are in little over a month and to add to that I have my French speaking on Monday, which happens to be the first day back at school at 9:30. This is terrible news, literally life altering because I haven't completely revised for it and I know I'm not good enough at French to make up the ...
