No comment.

Thank youuuu. It's really not. They don't though. You guys get Master and Mister. Same thing with us female peeps.

I would do... Umm... :/

I'll be the judge of that. Kk, I haven't got Netflix... Idk if I should bother getting it.



Kk. You did? Dw. I'm doing mandatory subjects with Citz and Ad Maths... Taking- German, Geography, RS, Textiles, Chinese (Mandarin) + Language Leaders (not a GCSE)

Or maybe you're a natural chemist We've finished unit 1 and starting unit 2 next week (we're edexcel not AQA though). I don't bother reading ahead as I'm probably not going to do it for uni. I'm gunna try get ahead in maths over xmas so I can start STEP prep We do? Oh you meant at uni xD, yeah I guess We seem to have pretty similar tastes/aims

I've read that as well! And 'Economics: The User's Guide', '23 things they don't tell you about capitalism' and 'The Price of Inequality' Oh fair enough, I thought you had started going to them I answered a couple of questions the other day, but that's about it Nah I haven't actually yet, but apparently it's good to check out as it only requires C1/2 knowledge so I probably will soon

Ooh that's so cool, I speak mandarin fluently How's the GCSE coming along

You do? Are you Chinese, part Chinese or have you been learning it for ages? It's going pretty well, I think I'm need to improve a little more with writing characters- being able to remember them without many cues... So I can write them.

How are ASs going? What did you pick?

Idk. I've seen it on letters and stuff.

It means I don't know which one!!!1

What? The "I'll be the judge of that"? Yeah... but I'm pretty busy and idk if I'd have time to use it!

Maybe I am Ooh, I'm on OCR A, everyone's on different boards here Thats true I'm also going to do that, we'll have finished most of C2 by christmas so I'm hoping to start reading through C3/C4 at christmas I managed to read the whole of the chemistry course We do we do, it's so strange

Whoa! 4 books!? Go do that economics degree, you I did go to them at the start of the year and then I got lazy Plus it started getting cold and dark and I figured it wasn't particularly safe/worth it to go home at that time for something I don't yet understand How'd you find them? Yup, although I hear that people rarely get above 60% in that exam because the questions on the MAT are virtually impossible

Yeah master is for like young people I think?

I'll take that as chemistry

Yeah aha that was a good one Believe me, there is always time for netflix!

Btw I may have changed degrees again, I'm now considering law...



Yeah at least you're not OCR B, apparently that's impossible Same Really?!?! Did you actually take any of it in? What can I say... great minds think alike!

I've actually changed degree again I think I'm now considering law The STEP questions were alright, I only answered the easy ones requiring only C1 knowledge Really? May have to give these a go when I get the chance!

I hear that too, friends at my old school are on OCR B I did I did, although it's a bit weird when we cover it in lessons and then i realise i've already read up about it They sure do!

Whaat! Coincidence has it that I wanted to do law for so long, and then this year, I changed my mind to maths and now it's chemistry. What is happening to me :') What made you change your mind?
Same! Tell me when you have a go and how they go, need to find some papers online soon

I keep changing my mind as well! From Japanese to History to Engineering to Archaeology to Egyptology . . . Gaaargh!

I kind of want to do everything.. There are degrees I know I definitely wouldn't do like languages and engineering - but I'd definitely go down any kind of pure science route ie. Maths, Chemistry, Natural Sciences. help.

What's Egyptology?

I get my GCSE certificates soon... I hear that AQA have a new design.

This is why I think we should have an education system like America! That way I could simultaneously study Particle Physics and Ramesses II . . . Ah . . . Will you apply for Natural Sciences at Cambridge?

It's the study of the Ancient Egyptians! I would get to learn Hieroglyphics, which would be awesome. I'm pretty sure I want to stay in academia for as long as possible . . . How about you?

Same they let you study the most irrelevant subjects together in the USA Although, Olaves does keep encouraging us to apply to US universities... Are you going to apply for US unis?

Maybe, it does sound like a good idea right now I looked up Chemistry with Maths courses and there aren't that many unis (that i'm interested in) that do it apart from UCL. The other places that do it are Leeds, Southampton and York. Maybe I'll just stick to maths...

Ooh are you going to do a PhD and become a professor I'm pretty sure I definitely want to have a job in finance, but I kind of want to get there doing a degree I love/will be interested in rather than a degree I don't particularly enjoy

They do? I didn't notice!

I don't know if I have the time and effort! Also, I would have no idea where to start and would probably fail the SATs! You?

Don't just stick to the London universities! YORK LOOKS AWESOME! THEY HAVE DUCKS!

I want to be a doctor, but if I get to be a professor then I won't complain! Finance does sound cool, but I think I'd suck at it. I'd prefer to spend my time looking over ancient texts in a library . . . But wouldn't Maths get you there?

Yup, apparently they're much more aesthetically pleasing and simple... can't wait.

Same xD I definitely played with the idea for a while - i thought about taking SATs but in the end, i realised it'd take too much time and effort

I don't like York (please don't hate me )

Ooh, you're going to be so knowledgable about everything Why would you suck at it Maths would get me there but I think I said my problem was whether I'd find it interesting for a whole 3 years doing purely just maths

Yes, exactly! Why not? I know that you're a true Londoner . . . I guess I'm Northern at heart. I'm 1/8 Geordie! Not about everything. I will have specialist knowledge in some areas . . . ! I thought you loved Maths? Ooh, how about Maths and Philosophy or something?

I'm not sure why I don't like it xD Well I was born in London and then moved out later so
You're 1/8th Geordie? What I keep thinking you're Japanese and then I remind myself you're actually half Vietnamese Well, you'd definitely look knowledgable in everything sitting in those massive libraries digesting all those books! I do like Maths - I just don't know if i like it for the right reasons Noo, I wouldn't want to do philosophy. Philosophy is interesting but I wouldn't do it at degree level
