I don't think I could do that, I'm never taking French again, I found it too boring after two years of it for Standard Grades. :s-smilie:


Haha, I love learning new languages so I'm pretty excited to get back into French again :colondollar: I am debating whether to choose German instead though.

Architecture is pretty interesting, I was actually considering it until I realised you needed maths or art.

Funny thing is Art isn't as important as they make it out to be, I only got a B in intermediate 2 art but they liked my folio (not sure what that says about the SQA or the Uni)

. I also did take Graphic Communication (B a higher this year) so I suppose that helped a lot. Physics is as highly valued as maths too.
English isn't worth that much I managed to get in with only a C at higher (A-level) because I got an A in maths.

My grades weren't that good overall for 5th and sixth year really. I failed maths last year and I basically repeated a lot for 6th year.

At least we are both going to do something we will enjoy.

Oh right... I hate physics and I've retaken all of my science modules because I failed pretty badly the first year of A levels :unimpressed:

That's true.

At least life isn't all about grades. Some of the most successful business men are people who dropped out of Uni, so you are guaranteed to do well if you stick with your course, as it will be easier to get a job.
I have a galaxy s4, laptop (notebook) and xbox. Don't think I need anything else tbh.

I completely agree with you. Grades does not define intelligence or define who we are. If you have the brains, you can be successful without having a first class degree :tongue:

But at the same time the majority of unsucessful (by which I mean at the very bottom of society) also don't have degrees (or even A levels), and the average earnings of somebody with a degree are substantially higher than those without.
And how did this even come up? It has nothing to do with the thread.

Why?

I don't exactly know how to answer that. Maybe because I like my technology, haha, and I use all of it.

How?

My room is relatively large.
