So lucky u have the choice to actually do that .
Because I have Bio and Chem I can’t do that .
Why can’t they just let me do bIo , chem ,history and philosophy 😑😑😑😑


There are still 2 ways you can get to do History and Philosophy....

1) Join the History and Philosophy societies at Harris

2) Beg the head of courses (Mr. Grant) to let you switch

I would choose option 1!

LOOL everyone has their own preferences and with a few exceptions, you are either on one side or the other (Maths or English). For what I wanna do (Investment banking) english is useless. For what you wanna do (Law/Criminology) Maths is useless.

I’m gonna do both 😂 - tomorrow I’m gonna call them and then if they don’t answer or let me do what I want to with my subject choices I’ll email Mr Grant - if that doesn’t work then clearly it’s not the school for me

Just a notice; there was a video that was more boy-orientated but it keeps disappearing from YouTube and I don't know why...

What about maths do you like ? Is it the whole it’s either right or wrong ? Or do you just find it easy / passionate about it as a subject ?

Here's a list of why I like maths:

Very logical

You"re either right or wrong

So satisfying when you clock something and get it right

Had a natural gift at it from a very young age (I got a 6 at it on the SATs) Although have been slacking lately

So many applications

links directly with what I wanna do in the future

its kinda fun (Im not totally hooked on to it by I have two friends that get an orgasm every time they hear the word "maths". One of them carries a problem solving guide everywhere)

That must mean that they are deeply infatuated; yond wilt cullionly they very much love their worketh. They art did swallow up in what they doth.

What do you think of my Shakespeare language?
