How Was Your Day? High Five

[Tori]

I'm sorry to hear about your friend i hope shes ok.

What uni you at Tori? Getting you up at 10 thats a bit harsh. I got a lecture in an hour so am going to blow dry my hair then head down to the arts building. Oh the joy! European Law!

Sorry Katy, it never emailed me and I was busy. I'm at Aston in Birmingham and it seems to be going alright so far. I have freshers flu however...

It was soooo funny just before tutor. My friend and I got there early and there was a boy in there who isn't in our tutor group. The warning bell went so he opened the window and said, "The bell has gone, please go to your tutor," in a really funny voice. He said other stuff like, "Please remove the pink scarf, it is not school uniform;" "That ball is not suitable for outdoor use, please buy a rubber one; thankyou!" There were two girls standing by the window talking and they weren't looking so he opened the window and screamed out of it and they jumped out of their skins! Just as he was saying that my tutor walked in! He turned round and was like, "Hello Miss, just asserting my authority." He got out of there pretty quickly afterwards! It might have been a case of you had to be there but me and my friend were laughing our heads off. He said he'd be back to do it again tomorrow, I'm so going to tutor early again!

See now, we have a boy in our year (whos in my form) who actually does that to people... but means it! He has problems we think but it's never really been sort of.. mentioned. But he acts ike a teacher and carries aclipboard around with him all day, telling all our year and the younger year to stop messing about get to lessons take jackets and that off... no joke seriously!

Aww today's been ok. I spoke to my English Lit/Lang teacher and explained that I was really struggling and thinking of dropping it. She was really understanding though and we both agreed I'd do the essay thats set and if I struggled alot with that then it's best I dropped it. So I feel alot better for that.

Dancing was actually really good tonight too But it's the calm before the storm what with the show coming up in like.. 3 weeks

Tomorrow should be good Only have 1 lesson and then partyyyy i the night for a friends 18th Woop Woooppp!

today i had a seminar which was ok. then had to go into town and get my mum and grandad their bday cards, didnt manage to get a pressie though. then on the bus on the way home i found £2 so that was the highlight of my day lol! then just been at home catching up on more tv lol and thinking about doing some work!

Wouldn't be so much of a problem for me as this is AS but then that might put me at a disadvantage when applying to uni as most people will have more than 3 full A Levels.

i wouldnt worry too much about that tbh. some people might have 3 alevels and 1 AS but the majority of people wont have 4 or more alevels, some people dont even do 3 alevels. as long as you get the points you need from the alevels you do for the course that you want it doesnt matter how many alevels you took, it wont be a disadvantage just cos you only did 3, actually most unis prefer it if you dont do too many alevels. if youre struggling, its much better to drop a subject and concentrate on getting 3 good alevels than to carry on with 4 and not do very well

[di marco]

deffinetly try and talk to someone, as it is better to change things now (if you want to) rather than leave it much longer, do you not have a senior tutor you can talk to?

i agree, its easier to change subjects now as you wont have missed too much work than to wait til after xmas for example when you will have wasted time on the one youve dropped and missed half the course of another one you might want to pick up. also if you do want to drop a subject, as its so early on in the year and youre only doing ASs atm its best to try another one instead just in case you like it as you wont be that far behind and then if you dont like it then you can drop it

Feeling very rough the past two days, got a bad cold and can hardly breathe Still drag myself to work as OH has got man flu (a bit of the sniffles) and I get more peace and quiet at work

[Katy]

no worries Tori, glad your enjoying it though! I am just very busy i forgot how hard uni was! My cousins at Aston and my family live in Sutton Coldfield which is the town near it, i know the area well, very close to Birmingham which is a great city.

That's taking it too far. This boy would never say that to people in the same year as him, it was just the novelty of us not being in uniform while the others are, I think. Me and my friend were about to go to tutor early when we noticed that this boy was too busy playing table football in the common room.

There's nothing else in the blocks that I would have to choose from that I want to do. There's not much point picking up something I only like the sound of 1 out of the 4 units of. I think I'll stay where I am until we really start on the poetry as that was always my best part of it. The teacher said she'd be shocked if we liked all of the stuff we did in it. I don't know if I'm struggling as such as it's only a few comments in margins but it might just seem like it to me because I'm used to getting 'excellent' and everything in the rest of my subjects. One boy's had to redo the whole of his essay. As there's nothing else I want to pick up from the blocks then I might as well keep up with it then if I still feel the same after we've done some more work then drop it and do the three or the three and an AS in something I can't get now next year. I spoke to my mum about it and she thinks it's a bit quick to be deciding as we haven't done much with one of the teachers at all.
