What a load of mumbojumbo. Thank God I didn't do maths :cookie:

Sounds like the same with me and psychology. It sucks because a teacher makes or breaks a subject for me! Have you had an ethics lesson yet? Last years year 12 hated ethics so I'm not looking forward to it :erm:

What other subjects do you take?

Yeah had my ethics today :smile:

I actually did a year at college and came back to my shool's sixth form and my teacher was my R.E teacher in years 10 & 11. I got an A with his as my teacher so hopefully I'll do really well on the ethics side. He has a good sense of humour and is a great teacher. Ethics is a lot like GCSE R.E, it covers a lot of topics on moral issues such as Abortion, Sex & everyday issues.

The A levels I'm currently doing are Philosophy and ethics, English language, Travel & tourism & Media studies so I have quite a mixture. I like writing & essay based subjects as you can probably tell haha

If your good at maths,I got a B in Gcse + a B in Further Maths (involves some A-level stuff) and okay at core gcse physics and additional science, is physics for me? because Chemistry seems difficult& I can't see Biology benefiting me in any way
and Is a-level german really hard compared to geography? I'm not sure which one i'll enjoy or do well in
I got an A in german, and A in Humanities but never done Geography in GCSE's

I don't think you have to do geography at GCSE to do it at A-level. My teacher said that the people who didn't do it at GCSE would be at no disadvantage to those that have and it's a great subject to have! :smile:

Ohh, a few people who went to the local college have been slowly coming back to our school's sixth form in dribs and drabs these last few days. They hate on the place yet they miss it when they're gone! :wink:

Sounds good! Ahh, never had my ethics teacher before though!

Interesting. Me too. I love essay based subjects. You can ramble on with yourself a bit more :innocent:

No, they don't offer German as a GCSE or A-level at my school.

Haha I did that in my English GCSE's, just rambled on about nonsense and got 2 B's, don't think I can do that in my AS exams though unfortunately :frown:

Glad you liked it! :biggrin:

It's good to watch videos like this to get you motivated and restore your faith in humanity again :tongue:

...... Brian Clough was a footballer?.... NONONO xD

I've got nothing but time :tongue:

Not a bad video, It would be nice going around the world with friends just messing around and doing what you love, you can pick up on their care free attitude, you enjoy life more, I'd do just that, but in a car!

Yeah, that's why I watch them haha, they just get you so motivated and pumped and make you think that the world's not such a shady place, and you just feel like you can do anything. :tongue:

Yeah it looks amazing! I've got the care free attitude and I can play and instrument.. Now all I need is a band, a job, then I can just do it. :tongue:

I don't like planning, I just live in the moment... If something goes wrong, it goes wrong, no point in contemplating what could be done to improve it. Just accept it and move on.

It's kind of weird how I look at life... I just take everything in my stride, good or bad. I believe that everything that is meant to happen, will happen.

I like to think deep in the early hours of the morning. :rolleyes:

We're actually pretty well off just for being in England, everyone just tends to over think every little thing that at the end of the day doesn't really matter.

Me too, there's no point crying over spilled milk... I think that's how it goes :tongue:

I'm pretty relaxed and I rarely get angry over anything because it can't change anything, just look ahead! But I can't play any instrument :/ I desperately want to learn the piano/keyboard though.

I strive for perfection most of the time which can get pretty annoying, but If I don't get it then I accept it as it just wasn't meant to be. Maybe not the for same thing but you can always try again.

Either that or the shower xD And of course the best place to spend your Friday night is the TSR year 12 thread :cool:

You overcomplicated it and made it way harder than it should have been, and for that reason I tl;dr'd it and just spammed wrong. No need to be so ostentatious, bro.
