Current Year 11 Thread Mark I (2014-2015)

I live in Northwich! The town's pretty grim and smells like sewage but depends which part you're in I suppose haha.

I start school on the 3rd too.

What subjects are you guys taking?

oh gosh! which part smells grim? By the way which school do you go to?

Is anyone else's brain more alert and functional at night or is it just me? i tested it earlier this year and did a maths past paper at 1 AM and I did it 20mins quicker than my quickest time previous :/ Wish it was like this during the day

What subjects are you guys taking?

Computer Studies
Graphics
History
Geography

I'm like this sometimes, depends how my sleep routine is at the time. :/ Isn't there something about teenagers being nocturnal or something though haha? I remember reading an article. :P

Quick question, can anybody think of anymore stationery I might need, including stuff to help with revision? The mother has said I can get some stuff off Tesco groceries, but I have no idea what to buy haha, I'm used to either just finding stuff from around the house or going for whatever's cutest in Paperchase. :P

So yeah, any extra stuff I should get? I already have basics like pens, pencils, a calculator and a geometry set, and I've added some pritt sticks and folders to the basket.

Some highlighters, note cards, maybe colourful pens/pencils/markers...maybe some sticky labels for your folders? Things to make your notes stick out/more noticeable.

Guys, I know this is thestudentroom and we're all education junkies...but who's excited for the relaxing/fun part of year 11? 'Sweet 16' parties, Prom, end of exams, last day, prepping for sixth form? Having more responsibility, so on and so on...I am anyway!

Thanks, I forgot about highlighters and stuff. :P And triplus fineliners are £4 so I went for it, is it sad that I've always wanted some of those? *sob*

They aren't necessarily "fun"

To be honest you could of had that responsibility years ago. You don't have to rely on your teachers just because they're there

They aren't necessarily "fun"

Nope, highlighters and fineliners are the best part of school! ;')

Speaking of that sort of thing, is anybody here a prefect or anything like that? I've never seen the attraction of it myself especially in the two years of high school when you're under pressure anyway... Is this just me? I'd say the people who are prefects in our year are split 50:50 between people who take it way too seriously and people who don't particularly care at all. :P

I just don't really see the point in doing it I guess, especially if you're going to be one of the super strict types who won't let year 7's go the toilet if they're in the wrong building. :-(



I'm glad! :P I've just been using a pink/blue 2 colour clicky bic pen before so idk I'm stoked to get a proper set of fineliners? x)

Our school elects prefects at the end of Y10 so hopefully I will be nominated
I don't see any pressure with being a prefect as you're just an example to what the other students should look up to.

I might want to be a prefect, they get privileges as well as having to 'control' younger years :') and I love them, it makes notes fun...if you could go that far haha
