I'm doing Tsarist and Stalinist, you?

I'm pretty sure if you tried storing anything anywhere near the sun it wouldn't last very long, no matter in it!

I'm stuck with 24 hours of lessons per week across five subjects, leaving me with only two frees a week... although, one good thing is that I have Wednesdays off

But if you had to ignore the great temperatures. Is the core of the sun molten? If so can it be compressed to provide a gap for storage? Also is the core of the sun actually the most dense point, because i thought in nuclear fusion the elements slowly get heavier as you get closer to the center of a star? According to the wiki the Sun isn't actually solid at all Can you store stuff on the surface of the sun and because "the sun" is actually up to its gaseous layer or something that would still count as being inside.

I need an answer, in volume, to the capacity :/ my teacher is mad.

I'm confused at why they would want you to know this, as of course it's not something that will ever need to be known or used!

The sun is really just a massive ball of very condensed gas/plasma. The centre will certainly be the most dense part of it... I doubt you could compress anything inside it any more than it is, as it is already a perfect balance between gravity compressing it and the fusion pushing it back.

Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Geography and German ... I hate 4/5 of those subjects
Which subjects are you doingr?

Does anyone else hate it when they have a free period 1 but have to go in and sit there like an unused lamp when you could be in bed

I hate that too! I only have lessons on Monday Period 4 and 5 so I want to stay at home for a bit (and I can still get on with work when I'm there cause it's easier to concentrate without people around.) Then at lunch time I'll go in to the lessons. Hopefully I will be able to do this next week - this week we still have to go for registration every day but after that they try and find a day that fits in with everyone's timetables. But because most of my form are doing different subjects to me, I can just imagine with my luck that we'll be going in early on Mondays!

2000, 1000 in each year.

Another person on AQA history

Me too Which units are you doing?

My school day is almost 7 hours and we have 5x50 minute lessons of each subject during the week - but I've counted biology which I'm doing at home as part of my school study time. Overall we have 6 lesson slots a day.
Also everyone does a extra compulsory 3x50 minutes (2 of sport and one of general studies). ^.^ I only have two private study/free sessions a week but I use my lunch time for extra study time (it's over an hour long so why not).
Aw, have you spoken to the librarian or the school council about possibly ordering a few more study books?

I'm doing Tsarist and Stalinist, you?

Ugh, I honestly don't know what I'd do with all that time. Every day I have 2 frees and luckily, they are never straight after each other. This guy in my year had lessons 9-11 the other day and then had to wait until 3 to go home.

What are you guys doing in terms of extra work? At the moment I'm solving extra equations for maths, going over notes and making flashcards in bio and chem, and reading ahead for geog, but I'm not sure if I'm going about this in the right ways...

Hurrah for vinyls!


We had an induction week for Sixth Form (a whole week, gr), and our German teacher was away so I had an extra free period every day Ah bless you! Though surely guys would judge you similarly based on first impressions? We have two guys and five girls in our German. Do you start tomorrow?
