Hmm, I've been asked by the charity that organised a W/E placement for me to become their ambassador. I'd have to advertise them in my college by distributing various media (leaflets and flyers etc..)
This is an excerpt

Hmm, sounds a bit daunting but I guess I should do it.

Aw that sounds like a lovely opportunity! Very good of you to do something like that :smile:

I'm so scared. I've emailed my personal tutor/vice principle to see whether it's viable.
I wasn't going to do it but then I realised that it's a CV opportunity + personal statement thing, perhaps. Additionally, if I can't do this then how will I manage clinical skills!

Of course it'll be a bit scary, it's natural to feel like that about this sort of thing, best of luck :smile:

Good idea! And precisely :biggrin:

It's all good practice. I moan that my history teacher always makes us do presentations etc, but it does help in the long run :h:

It's just that there's a 1300 or so yr 12s! There'd probably be 3 assemblies. I imagine they'd have me speak for 10 mins or so at each one if they allowed it.
In any case, are you feeling better?

Really? Wow! That's a bit terrifying, but I'm sure you'd be absolutely fine :smile:

I am, thank you very much for asking! I keep getting horrible migraines though, not quite sure why. :frown:

How is everything about maths and sciences? Even if it is the topic , don't see why it's an issue. If it was humanities you'd say it was fine.

What do you take away? Any languages? I can talk about those!

All I see or seem to notice is maths or sciencey posts, replies etc etc. And quite clearly, I am not the only one to notice this. And it's annoying because that's ALL I seem to notice and it is; the last 8-10 pages just seem to be buzzing with it, it's completely annoying. But I just literally hate maths, anything to do with maths, I hate. Actually no, that's where you are wrong. If their was too much humanities, I would have got equally bored seeing to much of the same stuff.... And would want something else (probably science such as biology/botany/ecology) something of that sort.

Both English A-levels and Philosophy and Ethics. I don't see the need to take additional languages. No need (I had a weird form tutor who thought it'd be great to speak to us in French/Spanish for 5 years of form because she was a bitch). I hated her. Languages is just ergh.

More people take them so it makes sense... It's a majority thing.

Wow, you seem to hate everything. Languages are useful I'll have you know, if you had a good degree and knew a language/languages you're much more employable than someone without.

Without language you'd be nowhere.

I also have this kind of teacher. She is a FM teacher so that's not very good but I'm trying to be positive. :tongue:

FM?

Workload for me has stayed pretty similar (I do sciences, get hardly any homework) but the difficulty has been a serious jump.

Actually, for me the jump in chemistry has been smallest. I didn't get on with Unit 2. Don't ask why, I really don't know, I just found it really difficult! So it's not been quite so bad for me. xD

Anyone care to talk about English instead? All I keep seeing is maths and science!

It's starting to grate on me!

*raises hand*

I agree. :frown:
