Haha, a lot of people ask me that! Yes, it's basically geology (earth science) plus extra modules in geophysics and geochemistry :smile:

That's an interesting combination, I hope you get there :yep:

Whats the difference between an A-Level and an AS-Level?
Dont go to school anymore but even if I did ours was always that one school in the entire area that was still open. Would take an apocalypse for it to close lol

It would be concerning if this was indeed an everyday issue.

Lol it's the same with my old primary school (my brother's current school) He was complaining that it was really unfair and I just laughed at him. :tongue:

Do you do GCSEs in college?

A Levels used to come in 2 parts; you did one year to gain an AS (Advanced Subsidiary) Level, then a second year to gain the full A (Advanced) Level. I don't think AS Levels are done anymore in most colleges/sixth forms, instead you do only 3 or 4 subjects for both years, rather than doing 4 AS Levels, then dropping a subject for the second year. I hope that makes sense? :smile:

snow day today & tomorrow, all the schools in my area & basically the full east coast of scotland are shut today and tomorrow which i’m very glad of cause i have soooo much stuff to do for my classics & rmps assignments
My college is in Leeds and I live an hour away so there was no way I was getting there. In terms of productivity, I did a few notes for Geography (A-Level) and that’s about it. Wednesdays was supposed day off from revision anyway 😛

Yeah. At my school sixth form they still do AS levels, I always see the books on the table from the 6th form class before us in Science.

I didn't know you could do that, how come you chose to go to college instead of school?

My school is supposed to be opening tomorrow, doubt they will though.
Because it’s more practical and I’m not very academic and they have a work life atmosphere

I live 5 minutes away from my school, so if it's open I have to go. :wink:

Oh, I see. When did you leave school?
Had to come in but got sent home early after period 3 since after that, I only had free periods. My principal had emailed us this morning saying "school's open" with the ****ing =) emoji and I was ready to beef him about that, but slipped when I got up to him so I kinda just left in embarrassment instead
