How Was Your Day? Numero Four-o

[Abigail]

I've been shopping twice this year. I didn't get much, a DS game and a dress.

This lad from new year's keeps texting me. He hasn't taken it well that I've blown him out. He hasn't accepted that I don't want to be with him. He's texting me now asking to meet up. Its 11pm for god's sake! He said he's low on credit so I told him to stop texting :P No reply yet. Wednesday night he was texting til 1.30am!
Just got a message, "I'm sorry, please see me instead of **** I'm sorry xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx"

He keeps telling me this other lad is no good for me, he's lying, he's violent, he'll hurt me blah blah blah.
He's also been harrassing my friend for info on me, he didn't stop texting her on Tuesday and Wednesday. I feel really bad about that.

Oh dear - do you have a plan on how to tell him your not interested?

I've had an ok day - I'm having trouble sleeping lately though and I'm going to bed really late...I'm so exhausted and I've got school on Monday, so need to get back in the right sleeping pattern.

[Abigail]

Oh dear - do you have a plan on how to tell him your not interested?

I've tried the repeated No. That hasn't worked. I've tried ignoring his messages but they're winding me up so I have to reply.

Woo, I might have got through to him. Just got a message, "ok, fine if thats what you want. Will you give me a go?" Halfway there I guess.

I have been revising all day, I am now so boredits unreal .

Oh well casualty is on later that should cheer me up.

We (family) got a new car today! It's a Kia Picanto. Just something small. Brand new and it's.... silver! I HATE silver cars . Quite a nice little car though .

Going out tonight, hopefully should be fun.

Happy NewYear to Everyone. No I haven't emergated to the moon, but my ways of communications have been censored over the last week. Thursday 27 December my telephone line was dead, I phone Virgin and they said that they couldn't send a engineer out until yesterday so I have been 8 days without a gossip line ( how did I cope I hear you ask!!!) then on last Saturday my PC decided to take ill. It keeps coming up with a microsoft error when I switch it on and it won't let me log into the Internet, MSN or any of my files. I am on the PC at my sister's at the moment as I can't get the comp fixed until Monday.

[Kim]

Aww, that sucks. I couldn't live without mine, and I don't really have anyone who's internet I can just go and use. Virgin are such a pain. My dad was almost changing but then we'd have to pay £130 to get a BT line back, which sky said they'd refund, but my dad didn't think it would happen.

I'm about half way through reading my set text, but I can't concentrate on it at the moment. I've finished the first part of the book completely so hopefully I can finish part two while we do the first part in class, which may get a bit confusing.

I'm also thinking about A Level choices like Spicy, and I know what I want to do for A Level, it's just I can't decide on an order of preference. I think I have, then I want to switch 2 subjects around. I don't really want to put in a reserve either, because I don't want to end up doing 2 lots of English by putting Language down as reserve.

I don't have my mock results back yet, and I'm really bricking it at the prospect of finding out what I got in some of them. Some I really want to know about though, but I can predict that will change as soon as the time comes. I was planning to start revision for the real things before going back to school on Monday, but I think I'll leave that until after my birthday now.

Maths is a tough one. At my school, they will let you take it with a B at GCSE, if there's enough room in the classes, but told us that unless we were willing to work hard to catch up after getting a B, we'd probably struggle. I've was thinking about Economics for Uni too, but my business teacher (head of Economics) says that there are some places that would take you without an A Level in Maths. I think I will do Business at Uni, possibly combined with Accounting.

I think I know what I want to do in my A levels..
1) Business Studies
2) ICT
3) Maths (mmm I hope)
4) Sociology

And I will drop Sociology in Year 13..

I got my mocks as you know and I'm very dissapointed in them but I am going to try and concentrate on it and get as much help as I can and turn it all around. Hopefully it will all work out well.
My maths teacher said that about A level maths too.. Said if I get a B then he will talk to a hundred people before making a decision to see if it's right or not.. So worried about that so the minimum target for Maths for me is a B so I have a hope!
I think I will talk to my Business Studies teacher about universities that allow you to take Economics without a Maths A level.. Surely Kim you would need a Maths A level for Accounting even if it's combined right?
Think I will give myself a bit of a break and concentrate on my GCSE's like Abi advised me too (thanks) and then think about it later, maybe after my GCSE's!

There are routes into Accounting that don't involve an A Level in Maths; my friend's step sister is doing AAT and she's 19, and according to my friend, she didn't do any A Levels. So I looked up AAT on the internet and read something that said that some stages of the training can be bypassed if you have certain degrees. I'd rather not go into it and just stick with Business if an A Level in Maths is vital to do Accounting as part of a degree; though I did look at UCAS and not all universities had Maths A Level as a requirement on the site. I'm desperate not to do Maths because if I did, I'd want to take Statistics as the choice units, which my current teacher teaches. I really don't get on with him and I'm desperate to get out of his lessons.

Without the Maths you would restrict yourself from some of the more well known universities, but it is possible to do, as I found when I looked it up. Your teacher could be of more use than mine though as the admissions have probably changed quite a lot since she did her degree in Economics without Maths A Level... at a guess I'd say she's at least in her late 40's.

I want to do Business (Applied because it's the only one that the school offers,) Psychology, Economics and English Literature for AS Level, dropping English after Year 12. I keep changing the order of the top 3 around every 2 days or something....

That sucks about the internet Kath - it will be good to see you fully back with us soon.

I've had an ok day - been doing some schoolwork but I get easily distracted...lol, but I'm getting there with it - I've got a bit more work to do tomorrow, but fingers crossed I can get it done by Monday. I went down town to buy some books today, I bought another Chris Ryan book (I really enjoy reading his books) and I bought a Patricia Cornwell book called Blow Fly - I've read 30 pages so far and it's fab.
