So basically, I chose my A-levels and put down maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. Maths, further maths and physics are my three definite choices and they're not going to change. However, I've recently felt a bit uncertain as to whether to choose chemistry and am considering doing Spanish instead. I'm on target for an A* in both so that isn't an issue.
Obviously, chemistry is a much more logical fit with my other options than spanish. Also, I currently want to pursue a degree either in science (most likely physics) or maths. Taking chemistry would open a lot of other options within science while not taking it would severely restrict me, which is something I am worried about. However, I'm not sure whether I'll enjoy it. At GCSE, I've enjoyed it a fair amount. I wouldn't say it's been my favourite but there have been units that I have really enjoyed. I've tried looking at the A-level specifications but, to be honest, I don't really have a clear idea of what is actually covered so I really don't know how much enjoyment I'll get out of it.
Spanish, on the other hand, is a subject I am definitely enjoying at the moment, especially since I went on an exchange trip to Spain last year. I love learning a language and am naturally quite good at picking up the vocab and grammar. However, this option doesn't pair as nicely with my other choices and I'm worried that although it will open up language degrees, it will close off many science options. Also, I'm not a massive fan of doing loads of writing and again, I'm not really sure what the content and exams will be like. I'm good at essay writing but I wouldn't say that I enjoy it much.
So really what I'm asking after this long-winded introduction is if anyone can offer me any information about the content of chemistry and language a-levels and how enjoyable they actually are. Obviously, I may have a different opinion to you but I just want to see what other people think. I'm torn as to whether I'll enjoy either as well as to the doors they will open and close. Could anyone offer me some advice? (sorry for the slight essay)
