I didn't think my last update was so long ago!! Gosh!
Over Halloween, I was in Hannover on an exchange trip with added work placement. It was really fantastic and apparently my German has come on a lot! My work placement was in a newspaper office, where they got me to write an article (which I finally finished last week); so obviously my German writing was tested, but the said it was really good!
What happened last month? In November, I did two English Lit Controlled Assessments, and I am now preparing for my German Speaking, which we should be doing in two weeks time!
Overwise November, for the most part, has been one of those bland and boring months that nothing happens in
A-Level Choices Last week I made my preliminary A-Level choices. They are:
My music teacher was horrified that I had not put down music and my parents (who want me to become a doctor) and my science teachers were appalled that Maths was my only sciencey subject. But these are the subjects I want to do, and my careers teacher seems to support them and is now pushing me to look into law careers (something which I am extremely interested in
)
One of my choices however, is in doubt: German. This is the A-Level I probably want to do most, but is also the subject that
literally no-one else wants to do. My German and careers teachers are now making the case to my principal to let me do it on my own, or at least let me find an alternative way of doing it. I hope they succeed!! If German fails, I'll probably please my music teacher by choosing Music.
Tests Tracking 3 has spanned all this month. This means a report card home soon. Because of Germany, I missed my physics test and my teacher's been saying: "shall we get that test done soon" and I've just been putting it off, I think I might do it tomorrow! I know I got a horrific maths result this month: 65% (c)!! This was because my maths teacher based it on a homework we did and took our mark from that, Naturally most other people knew that it was for a test, but I didn't; so I did it as I ate my breakfast one morning!! Ah well, I may just have to hide my report card!
Cello-ey stuff On Friday I have Senior Orchestra concert in town (I miss PE - get in!!), a week after that I have Carol Service with the school orchestra and on the 23rd December, I'm auditioning to the Ulster Youth Orchestra (the best youth orchestra in NI)!!!! Of course the audition is early in the morning and in Belfast, which is 2.5 hours away from my town!!
Revision (sorry, what does this word mean?) In regards to revision, I have done some Physics, Biology and History; but my nice colourful pens have run out, so I can't do any more until I get some more!!! I'm actually really annoyed!!
Anyway I've definitely written enough for now, Have fun getting ready for the holidays, and I'll probably post later on in the month!!!
