- Getting to skip the queue for lunch :p:

ahh nostalgia, i remember being in yr 7 and 8 and envying the sixth formers for getting to go straight into the canteen, no queueing outside for them! But then i left after yr 11. Altho, being a junior prefect in charge of the canteen queue did have it's perks...

- nt being able 2 socialise as they are so many lowlifes
- ghetto area
- some teachers nt willing 2 help outside skool hrs
- having 2 b at skool at 8.45am every morning
- being very very like skool life
and the list goes on.

y did i stay?
The new friends I've made, and they way that even though it's a really traditional school we get treated like adults ... (most of the time anyway. haha)
Having conversations that are remotely human with teachers, i.e. with my spanish teacher

Teacher: "Why didn't you do your homework?"

Myself: "It was a stupid homework - not relevant at all"

Teacher: "Exactly. If you think its not relevant don't do it. There's no point wasting time over it"

Now, if I was in junior school, i'd have got a detention :smile:

Most of the people are nice, I have a couple of really nice teachers but overall, I hate my college!
I did have a very light-timetable in terms of free lessons, but now I've not got many.

6 a week. :smile:
small classes (more likely to get all A's :smile: unlike GCSE)
no uniform
17 free a fortnight
double home study on a friday afternoon :smile:
