I've always got my best grades in maths; I got an A* at GCSE, an A* for maths at A level and a B for further mathematics (being a perfectionist I was hoping to get an A, but I went to a college which is in the bottom 15% of the country!).
I've got a confirmed place at Exeter to study maths which is all good but I'm very nervous. I had personal issues that affected me throughout my higher education, and that's subsequently left me a bit behind socially.
Obviously I worked very hard to get those grades though since I knew uni would be a fresh start, but now that I'm looking over some maths stuff before uni I'm just not feeling that passionate about it! It could be that I finished my a levels last year and decided to defer, again due to personal issues, so I'm a bit rusty with my maths.
I've been trying to have a go at a few step papers, or other maths entrance exams just for practice and although I can do the odd question, a lot of it is insanely difficult for me. Plus, I don't even seem to have the wherewithal to get through the questions, it's just a bit boring to me? I'm afraid I've chosen the wrong subject!
My interests lie in creative writing and psychology but with maths, although I'm pretty good at it and it does interest me, it doesn't to the same extent. For example, I remember when I took English at gcse level and finding the exams fun! I loved sitting there and getting lost in writing stories, or writing up essays since it fascinates me. But overall I'm not really sure which direction to go in now...
