Re: potential 2012 optometry applicantsHaha there's alot of Biology in Optometry so you should start forcing yourself to like it!(Original post by TheWorldEndsWithMe)
I'm finding it so flipping hand to motivate myself.
Any ideas? :/
I don't mind doing maths, like, at all, so at least one thing's good, I suppose. But a string of bad essays in economics and not really knowing how to fix it really knocks your confidence and now I have no motivation to do any work. And I just flipping hate biology more than any other subject that's ever existed because it's so boring!
Any ideas on how to fix, or am I just completely screwed, guys? :/
It's just, I've decided that I'm probably going to firm AR and I really want to get in.
Just take it easy, take regular breaks and think of the summer
Im finding it hard to motivate myself too. Revision depresses me so much -

Re: potential 2012 optometry applicantsI know. I don't mind the tiny bit of stuff we do about the eye though - I really quite enjoyed the whole genetics of colourblindness and rod/cone cell stuff. I just hate ecology with a passion. And all the boring DNA stuff. Bleh.(Original post by Rosi M)

Re: potential 2012 optometry applicantsHehe your actually lucky you even study the eye at A level! Which board are you? I did OCR, and gosh so boring. Yeah ecology is just depressing. Where did i actually get the will power to sit hours on end revising hedgehogs?(Original post by TheWorldEndsWithMe)

It'll be worth it though so just keep at it!

good luck

Re: potential 2012 optometry applicantsI'm on AQA. We don't do loads - maybe two pages in the textbook - but knowing more than the teacher was rather fun.(Original post by Rosi M)

Yeah... I'm not worried about extra content or more work because I think I'll enjoy it more than A-levels tbh. -

Re: potential 2012 optometry applicantsOmg !!!! Finally got an offer from Cali
Sooooooooo happy ! So surprised as they only conditioned me an int. 2 A, and absolutely no mention of any highers or advanced highers.
I now have so much motivation and hopefully I'll get to study at Cali come September
Anyone else heard back yet? Gd luck to everyone who applied hope that you got offers you are happy with xxxxxxx

Re: potential 2012 optometry applicantsWhy would you be worried? There's no need since no-one has posted here yet (aside from hannah) that they have one.(Original post by SazzyJazzyApple)
I still haven't heard from Glasgow Cali and i'm just a wee bit worried. Has anyone else heard? -

Congrats! I haven't heard back yet, not holding out much hope since their typical A-level offer is AAB and I'm only predicted ABB... -
