    I've heard of him before, can't remember where though. & I really wanted to, but I already have 4AS' that I really like and my sixth form told me not to take it because the work load would be too much with sciences. Are you doing lit at A-levels

    Yeah he's a really famous writer love his pieces. And ahh, what as' are you planning to do? What do you want to do in the future? Im doing English lit now, but originally I was doing language and literature- but my teacher persuaded me to do just lit. I didn't want to do it for the same reason as you- too much work with sciences.

    Good set of a levels! Have you been getting work experience too? Yeah, I'd really like to be a vet, it's competitive and you need similar grades for med school along with loads of work experience, just hope all goes to plan lol!
