You might be able to get a free consultation. Have you filled in a HC1 form? It entitles you to free prescriptions, glasses, contact lenses and dental treatment if your income is below £8k.Quote:

I'm changing to an individual firm. I'm currently with Specsavers but my mum works at an opticians so she can get them cheaper.Quote:

you dont qualify for the free stuff if your a student cos it doesnt go on what you earn it goes on what your parents earn which is really unfairQuote:

No one came into school today, meaning 90% of our year didnt..
Long story cut short, how head of year says we are not allowed study leave under government rules but he thinks we should be allowed so said we can miss 5th lesson and if we have exams in morning/afternoon we don't have to come in.
so 90% of school decide they stay at home and on msn and stuff..
I had business (and I like my teachers :p) so I went in and 2 other people in my form took a business mock, no one else came in :eek: So our form tutor is JOKES so she had a free lesson and she took the mock paper with us HAHA..!
She never done business before and she got an A/B borderline! I got another B again which I didn't expect because I found this paper a bit harder! So was very pleased! Then 2nd lesson I had drama and my form tutor is my drama tutor so it was a very relaxed lesson as we complated all our drama exams!
My business teacher gave me a 1hr 45mins paper to do so instead of going English & Science I sat in the library with a few of mates mates who was just relaxing and I did the paper and handed to him at the start of lunch then went home!
Good day overall, was pleased and it's my lil bro's 6th birthday today! :D Wooo but we can't have a party as my dad's uncle died and well yeah.. I sort of feel sorry for him a way but mum explained it to him and he understands, bless him.
Fingers crossed for an enjoyable day tomorrow too! x
daily ones, cos i wont be wearing them everyday so it would work out cheaper than monthly onesQuote:

i was thinking about getting contacts. I think someone might have to explain what ineed to do as it all sounds a bit confusing.
Im off to meet a mate in a minute to have a bit of a revision session. We're going to Varsity rather than the library. I like his style!
Its pretty simple once you've had them in and out a few times. The first time I put them in myself took 45 minutes.Quote:

Finally finished my English Literature!
However, it went horribly!
3 texts in 3 hours is not healthy I swear!
My brain is all shrivelled now lol
I was so nervous and althoguh I did lots of work for it.. I felt really unprepared.
Never mind... I'm just going to work 10 times harder for the rest of my exams so I don't feel like that again :)
Don't worry too much about it. I cried before and during my lit GCSE exam and thought I did really bad. I was shocked when I came out with an A. I didn't even revise for the exam and I missed most of year 11 too.Quote:

Now I have my geography to look forward to on tuesday, 3 of them since Im resitting one, another 3 hours, oh the joy!

They didn't give us AS English Lit coursework this year :( 100% exam. I was crying in the exam too because 2 poems came up which I knew nothing about! I just babbled my way through it.. nevermind :)
What exam board are you on? As I had my 3 hours English Lit exams today... I survived my 6 hours of exams! I cocked up my first English Shakespeare paper big time, but I think I did ok on the other two.Quote:

Only downside is year 12 are invited to OUR leaving do :angry: Why not invite year 11 while they're at it and have it as a joint 11 and 13 leavers' party?
What's wrong with Year 12? I was going to go to mine tonight as Year 12s were invited but I have decided not to bother as the Year 13s attitude is "we don't want Year 12 there" ... so what is the point?
Its a celebration for the year 13, year 12 will get their's next year. Its a general consensus among the year 13 that year 12 shouldn't be there, its not their leaving do.Quote:

Had a dead good days revision today. I am really pleaed with myself but i still dont think i know enough for the exam on tuesdayl

Four weeks and five days until my exams are over. Five weeks tomorow until I go on holiday :D
For those that are doing A2, you can go on the UCAS website from 12am on the day the results are given out to see if you have got into your firm or insurance choice. Universities get the results about a week before schools/colleges get them so they can process the results and decide if they want you if you haven't met the conditions. You will only be able to see if you got in or not, you can't find out your grades on UCAS.
Got a C on the Business Mock core paper I did in the library.. Mm it was hard but still I least wanted a B.. but hey it makes a change from all the D's I used to get so a little bit more work and I might be able to secure one lol!
Worried about Maths on Monday, really want to do well in it as get least a B so I can take it for A level :( Better get revising more over the weekend :(
WJEC for all my subjects except Biology which is OCR :)Quote:

I thought she was just saying that to wake me up but then I checked my phone and it was 3! I was upset because I wanted to start revision at 3 but in the end I started about 5/6ish..
Just revising for Maths and there is sooo much to do and remember still do it's worrying me :( I really want to do well on Maths :(
sounds a bit like my night lol! i passed out in the toilets at about 11pm! id only had 4 drinks and 2 shots so im not really sure why that happened, i normally drink a lot more. my housemates think my drink was spiked cos i was fine before i went into the toilet, i dont know though, i mean i really dont think i drunk enough to get like that but it wasnt that busy so i dunno how someone would have spiked my drink without being noticed. i lost my phone as well :( i tried telling the bouncers but they didnt seem to care, they just told me to come back on monday to see if it had been handed in :angry: just been sleeping all day today lol!Quote:
