EDUCATION: I'm still planning to stick with psychology when I reapply; though this time I'd give English more consideration too. Either way, I'd take up Classics AS, maybe Biology AS and redo all of part of French/Maths AS. These are for personal enjoyment/ helping with my subjects/ ironing out dodgy grades reasons.
I'd attend school lessons for the first month or so and then self-teach at home, maybe coming in once every 2-3 weeks to see teachers for progress. (it's going to feel a bit weird coming back to school... like I'm the ex-pupil who can never let go.. but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do)
I am aware however, that by the time the next Oxbridge deadline rolls around (this is assuming I get AAA+ this year), I won't have the results of any of these new qualifications. So how does it work? Would they give me a conditional based on my AS results? Or is it dependent only on what I achieved at A2?
β’
WORK EXPERIENCE: Important to get as much as possible. I have contacts at the IoP, my school could hopefully also set me up at other places, I'd write to uni depts + hospitals + clinics and ask for opportunities there. I'd also LOVE to do WEx or work abroad but we'll see about that. Also I'd put my name down for a bit of volunteering (need to give back)
β’
UNI EXPERIENCE: Visit loads of unis, make better informed decisions this time round. Also to visit my friends/meet new ones and generally faff around!
β’
WORK: .... Obviously find a real job and stop leeching off mum and dad. Tutoring would be a good idea (assuming anyone even wants to be taught by me)
β’
STUDENT-RELATED: Attend more lectures, plays, workshops, conventions, museums, courses and keep on reading specialist magazines and journals, books and plays etc
β’
DRAMA: Join a drama group and go to loads of plays/gigs! & Hopefully write some material of my own
β’
TRAVEL: France, Italy, Greece, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, US, China ??

APPEARANCE: Get my ass down to the gym. Grow my hair, my nails, boobs (seriously hellloo Mother Nature. did you forget about me?), improve my skin. Wardrobe and makeup overhaul.
