Free bus travel ooooo That's so good! I bought my season ticket yesterday for the year costing £550 and beng a student I got 1/3 off. But for my bus I have to pay £50 to get half price bus fares.

I do go to london quite a lot so i guess I've seen a full buses but not too overcrowded. I think the tube are the worst though, the other day I was on the Nirthern line at about 7pm and it was hell, then onto the Circle line 2mins later and it was moreorless empty!

I'm enrolling on Friday. Pretty nervous, not going to lie. I know it's different for all places, but what do actually you have to do? Just give them money and show them your grades?

I enrolled last Friday. Don't be nervous, although I was too.

I didn't have to give any money but yeah you show your grades and some require identification so I showed my passport. Then I had to go around all the subjects I'm going to study and speak to all of the teachers.Then I went on to speak to form teachers and was assigned a form. Then I went to administration and had my picture taken and got temporary ID. It took about an hour and a quarter for me Too much queuing!

Done

Sixth starts in 10 Days!! Before it was the countdown to results but now I'm counting down to the start of sixth form! Soo excited.. Get to see my friends again on a daily basis and get back into a routine with purpose!

Really? I have to give money to pay for equipment and things like that apparently... £40... Damn. It doesn't sound very fun haha. Do you do it in groups? Because me and one of my mates have got the same enrolment time. I'm really not up for having a photo taken either... Oh well. I'll just have to suck it up and get over it I guess. Cheers

Nope, I didn't have to pay anything. Everyone else in here seems to go to colleges that want money from you. It wasn't the best thing, waiting around sucks. Talking to the teachers was little more than 5 minutes for most and they asked why I wanted to do the subject and that was pretty much it. We didn't do it in groups but I went with a friend and because we were doing pretty much the same subjects we went around together and were with each other most of the time. My picture surprisingly didn't turn out too bad, this is only if your college requires ID badges, most do nowadays though. It would only take about 20/30 minutes but I went at a busy time

Oh, it doesn't sound too bad then. Hopefully that's all I'll have to do then. I still haven't met some of my possible teachers yet after going to to various open evenings and taster days, so hopefully I'll get the chance to see them all, but I wont be too fussed if I don't get the chance. Yeah, I'm fairly sure my college requires them, I remember the people from my school that went there last year were all moaning about how horrible they looked on their ID badges. I don't mind waiting... I like just sitting around and soaking in information from what's going on around me... I just hope I don't have to do anything too strenuous.

Wow!! Thats a lot of money on travel! Is this what its like in all villages in england??

The london transport network can sometimes be absolutely ridiculous.
But i have been here for 11 years now, so im used to it.

I hate travelling by tube when its crowded, especially in the summer! I always get squashed! -_-
Buses are annoying when they get delayed or when theres traffic.
In leyton (where my college is), theres always traffic - so this is going to be annoying for the next 2 years.

Haha, I didn't meet my own teachers, I don't think. I think it was mostly subject leaders on the desks. I didn't even get my timetable! That annoyed me. Sitting is alright, it is when there aren't enough chairs! No, not too strenuous. Getting up early for it was the most strenuous bit about it for me. I'm too lazy during holidays!

You start on the fourth too then?

That would still be good enough for me! There's only one German teacher at my college - so she will definitely be teaching me - and yet after all of these possible chances to see her, I still haven't met her. I don't even know her name... Oh my god, everyone in my year, around 400 people, has to go to a classroom... A CLASSROOM to pick up their timetable at 9am on our first day. I'm not looking forward to that one little bit haha. Ah that's alright then. I'm the same. I need to get back into a routine.

What do u even do on enrolment day?
