Paleontology + Anthropology :eek:

Sounds very... Specific.

Do you think? Chemistry is quite different to maths :tongue:

he hates maths as well :eek:

Don't worry I'm on my computer. You my everything sounds great :biggrin:

I never actually knew it was a whole next album I thought it was a re-release really :biggrin:

I suppose it is but most sciences themselves interested me a lot at GCSE, only reason I didn't take them is because at GCSE I was with retards who wanted to fail everything and so I got a B and C respectively in foundation

It is a re-release :smile:

her new album will have ~25 songs now which is pretty cool, deluxe considerably more.

I hated GCSE sciences so much, and I chose triple. Tut tut, you shouldn't let others influence your attitude :tongue:

B and C is still good, especially for foundation.

Oh I see! awesome, my first assumption was correct :tongue:

Yeah true, its just a shame I had to do history instead of physics haha, at least I did well in history (thought it was gonna be a C or B )

Haha you don't seem stupid at all, I'd have no clue if I hadn't looked into it! It's just the study of primates using fossils etc :smile:

I have...weird interests :colondollar:

Yep

As true as that is, you did great in history, and you get to drop it as an A

I just don't like her new stuff, it's too poppy :frown:

I miss acoustic Ellie!

Cambridge! The only time I'll ever be there, so better make the most of it~

See you guys on Friday! :biggrin:

I'm going to give my opinion now :tongue:

sorry, if you don't like it.

I think you should think very carefully about what you are doing now. It's not a decision you want to rush and then blow £27k on.

You seem quite unsure of what to do, and I think resitting chem and perhaps another A Level over two years (so finish A2s in Year 13 with Chem AS, then Chem A2 and another whole A2 fast track in a relevant subject you enjoy in yr14) or even 2 AS in yr13 while finishing A2 and then yr14 do the 2 A2s and build up work experience and that

Then apply then, when you already have A2s and are awaiting some more. Then you:

1) Know where you stand
2) might have introduction of similar courses at other unis
3) Can build experience up for a more competitive application

Does that at all appeal to you? :colondollar:

Aww, well I'm sure upcoming stuff will be more Ellie, I completely get what you mean though. I just like how she suits loads of different styles and stuff

Oh wow, yeah, defo enjoy it, although I'm sure you could eventually get there next year.

Edit: got Cambridge and Oxford mixed up :rofl:

I've considered this type of career my entire life, I've always been fascinated by it, so although it looks like I've randomly chosen something, it has stemmed from somewhere haha :tongue:

As for resitting chemistry, I'd really rather not. I really hate the subject, I spent lessons depressed at how much I hated it, I had no motivation for it at all, hence why my revision consisted of night before revision just in the hope that I'd at least pass :tongue:

I honestly couldn't do it. Plus I don't want to have to do the exams alongside my A2 exams, as I'm evidently not that great at it and so the amount of time I'd have to spend on it could really affect my other grades :frown:

I'd rather not do an extra year either, as much as I like my college, the thought of having to do another year there depresses me, I'd probably have no friends :wink:

I see where you're coming from, and I really do appreciate the advice, but I know what I'm getting myself in to :tongue:

sure, I've chosen a more usual career path, but if people are archaeologists, primatologists etc, why can't I be if I work towards it? I know I'll really enjoy the degree, and that'll motivate me to do better! Even if I end up as a teacher, I won't mind :smile:

I'm not bothered about being rich, as long as I'm financially comfortable, I'll be fine :tongue:
