    Great! I've made a start on my tourism notes during today's geography lesson, although ICT takes priority until Friday during my own time.

    How's your day been?

    Ah, is Friday the deadline?

    Not too bad, thanks. I spent a "free" period finishing off that maths paper, and the teacher didn't even ask for it. :rolleyes:

    Yeah. Although I'm hoping to finish it by tommorow so that I have time to make improvements, even if it means an all-nighter tonight.

    I'll get to have these "free" periods in ICT soon though!

    Good luck with finishing it! I'm glad I finished my ICT coursework before the holidays, it's a huge relief when it's over.

    I've finished Business Studies too, so I get four "free" hours a week. In Business I should be doing some diploma thing, but I finished it ages ago so I just sit searching for posters doing my revision.

    Does anyone have any ideas of what I could go as on my school's fancy dress day? It's traditional for year 11s, but I haven't got a clue what to do.

    Haha! I'd have been one of the unprepared! I wish I enjoyed Physics... I guess I'm just not that kind of person. Do you have a favourite area of Physics?

    Mine was good thanks. Except apparently now we have 6 weeks left rather than 5. Grr...

    Lmao, well we got given 20 minutes on the exam today at the end of the lesson, and we have tomorrows lesson to complete the remaining 25 minutes. So the class were advised to go home and do some 'revision'. I wonder how many people will just go online and look at the mark scheme, most I imagine!! :L
    I love all aspects of physics really. But mainly the forces and calculations side of it. In other words, Theoretical Physics, the part of it with the mathematical side. Which will be much better once I get to college, as it is much more mathematically involved! I think that I am the only person in my class who has a genuine passion for physics though if I'm honest, I dont think anybody particularly likes it
    I have 5 weeks left, I can't believe it! Failing English literature.

    That is unfair. Why should the whole year group be penalised for something which a small group has done?

    That's not right. Why punish you when its not your fault? I fail to see the logic when schools do this...

    Well, it's what I'd do! :ninja:
    Interesting. I feel that about History sometimes.. I feel like I'm the only person I know who genuinely loves it (not at GCSE level though! ).

    What's the problems with English Literature? It's a shame that a lot of us on here do different books and poems, so it's hard to help out with English Lit.
