Fine Art :frown:

French, Maths, Physics are all great but Art needs to GTFO


I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I'm doing maths, further maths, physics, and art and design(Fine Art to)

Art takes up 90% of my time. Spend more time on it than on Further Maths and it leaves me with no time at all to do Physics. ....but that's also because I have terrible time management skills..:|

Didn't regret a thing I'm rather pleased with how it turned out :smile:

Although that said way back at the beginning of AS year I chose Computing. Don't know what I was thinking (parents saying 'Ohh you're good with computers' probably :dry:). Knew I'd hate it within 2 weeks. Swapped it out for Maths.

Loved Maths and am now in a field at university where Maths is critical (wouldn't be able to take Physics or Engineering without it).

I also did Further Maths during my A2 year. So yeah pretty bad judgement not taking Maths.

Seems so long ago now I can't imagine my life wihtout Maths :s-smilie:

Yep, but don't worry. I was an idiot and I never really paid attention - the maths just went over my head. Take into account I got an A* at GCSE physics... I loved the theory of it but the maths was so boring.

Oh no, I know what you mean. OCR B is just screwed up that way xD The maths bit is fine for me...it's the theory I don't get. :|

The MAD Idea of wanting to be an Architect. Unfortunately, after 2 years of straight Art A level, it's made me given up of wanting to even pursue Architecture(Once My Lifelong ambition). The k100 course at Nottingham is 6 years, and it's 100% coursework based. I've been having nightmares (literally) recently just by the thought of it, I'm now trying to get into a Maths related course through Extra. So why did you choose Art :s-smilie:?

Haha exactly the same reason... then I realized I hated Art A-Level and was struggling with the workload simply though lack of motivation and I actually looked into some Architecture courses... what the students were saying about all nighters... no social life... crits etc just put me off completely... then the job prospects afterwards are just plain depressing to say the least.

Looking back I don't even know why I wanted to be an Architect... I guess the pressure of having no idea what I wanted to do got to me and I picked somthing I thought I'd enjoy and be good at :/

So yeah... scratch 7 years of hell to be unemployed with a tone of debt... I'ma do Languages... much easier, and I get to travel :cool:

ICT- not because I found it difficult, but because it was boring and the teachers were really crap. Dropped it after AS :smile:
