    Subtitles - I haven't attempted speaking a language since French GCSE last year, which I was absolutely crap at (I will never understand how I got an A. Never).

    But there's just so much stuff to do. :afraid:
    Refine personal statement, read loads of books, EPQ, TSA, practice for aforementioned exam, it just never ends. :lol:
    Hahah I absolutely sucked at languages, did Latin and German and scraped Bs in both :teehee:
    Haha upload your ps onto the ps forum and someone will help you with it, books you can read on sleepless nights, and the rest will fall into place

    Hahah it's very un:sexface:

    I'm a musical theatre teacher and the school I work for runs loads of different summer school type things, it's mainly singing/dancing/acting but I like to add in some arts and crafts stuff to mix the day up a bit. The gingerbread men are for Monday when it's a Shrek themed day- we are going to decorate our own Gingeys
    Oh wow, is that a full time thing? Pretty impressive, I really need a job. :lol:

    Shrek! :awesome:

    Weirdly I'm pretty good at Latin, taking it for A-Level too. :lol:
    However I don't speak it, just understand it. :holmes:

    Thanks, when I've finished my second draft I'll upload it. Come to think of it I may try and get that done today, forget EPQ (4% through it now). :teehee:

    :lol: thank you, I've done my first draft but I need to cut down my last paragraph on ECs

    I'm hopefully going to be applying for biological sciences/ biology :love: I'm sure you've told me but what are you applying for again?
    I applied for medicine, but only got one interview, and I missed out on an offer by 0.25 points so I'm going to my fifth choice which is clinical sciences at Bradford, in the hope of transferring to Leeds med school :woo:

    Biology sounds good! I loved biology haha. I had two teachers for A2, and one of them absolutely hated me xD but I still loved biology :teehee:

    Ah yes that's it I wish you the very best of luck :woo:

    I absolutely love it even the ecology elements I kind of have two teachers for A2 (I'm getting a new teacher in Sept who's the head of human bio) both of which seem to like me which is always good

    It's bad when among your friends you're known as the "Biology genius" and variations of :rolleyes:

    I had really good teachers who were also loads of fun. Hoping I got an A in the AS. I think Latin has the steepest learning curve of any subject at GCSE level; you cover almost all of the grammar and then it's just a question of memorising vocab and practicing. The jump from GCSE to AS is pretty small, and I've been told the jump to A2 is pretty small too.

    That said I think I've been a bit complacent with it this year because of my double A*s in it last year, so I might have really let myself down by not revising enough. :lol:

    Next year I will work! ...I hope.

    Nah, it's part time- during term time I teach evenings and weekends, and during the holidays I do 9-4.30, so it's pretty perfect. Absolutely heartbroken about leaving for Uni because I'm so attached to the kids- they gote a pandora cha and a signed picture with all their little messages as a leaving present :love:

    Tell us all about him
    Ok, well he's one of the loveliest, funniest, clever (and attractive haha) people I know, and he's been such a good friend to me . We only started talking properly at the beginning of sixth form, but for the past few months we've gotten really close. I wasn't sure if he felt the same because he's nice to everyone, but he treats me a little differently and then eventually today he just came out with it that he likes me and asked if he was he wrong in thinking that I liked him too. Now we're together haha.
