do you think getting a part time job will affect my studies?

generally I think people wouldn't advise doing a part time job with 4 a levels and would with 3 a levels. but it's really up to you and how you cope with deadlines and under pressure.

Grades: 999999988876
Am I Satisfied with my grades: I guess so, except a few however I was proud of myself despite it as I spend so much time on extra curricular activities and so sometimes balancing study can be extremely difficult
What subjects am I studying: English Literature, Drama and Theatre Studies, RS Philosophy and Ethics and an EPQ
How am I feeling about starting sixth form : I feel worried but at the same time am excited as I'm looking forward to a new start and challenges to push me however I start on my 17th birthday which I think could feel a little lonely as I am an external student at a school sixth form
Any plans for the next year: Dedicate lots of time to things that give me joy, focus hard at sixth form and work/ strive for self improvement. I also hope to participate heavily once again in my extra curriculars and find friends and possibly a relationship.
Any plans for after A levels: Hopefully drama school
How was year 11: The most incredible year I could have ever wished for
Any hobbies/ interests: Youth theatre, National Youth Theatre, acting, singing, ballet, tap, music, playing the piano and ukulele, literature, contemporary dance, baking, writing and reading

English lit- 8
English lang- 9
Combined science- 9-8
RE- 8
History- 8
French- 5
Art- 8
Psychology- 7 ((ik most schools that offer psych are private, mines a comprehensive i just got very lucky that they offered it!)
Media studies-8

Are you satisfied with your grades?
Very!!!
What subjects are you studying for A-Levels/BTECs
I'm doing A-level English lit, Psych and History :biggrin:

((also EPQ))
How are you feeling about starting Year 12?
Excited! I know it'll be hard but I'm ready for the next step :>
Any plans for the next year?
Not really but I'm going to a Declan Mckenna concert in april with some friends
Any plans made yet for what you will do after A-Levels/BTECs?
University to study law!! Definitely not just because of legally blonde, suits and eve cornwell (no but srsly i find it interesting)
How was Year 11 for you?
Good! I think the cancellation of exams taught me that I should work harder from the start though (and it proved that having a good relationship with teachers/always participating in class helps!)
Any hobbies/interests?
I love art! I have an art instagram (@graphitedork) for those interested :> I also play video games and adore cats ^ ^
=' - '=
How was your lockdown?
As much as I miss cinemas and restaurants, i consider myself very lucky to have not had to worry about income, health and similar things. Sadly, we did have a family member pass whose cremation we couldnt attend but luckily she lived a good life and it wasnt pandemic related.

For those with GYGs, feel free to link them...
No GYG because I've started an instagram study account (@notes.by.lee

Some random questions:
How long do you think it will take to get a CoVid-19 vaccine, if there will ever be one?
I'm hopeful there will be one ready by March next year, all we should really do is try to do our bit to keep the cases down so that people's lives can be saved until we find out more about a vaccine and when we could get it (it currently seems quite promising, suspicious-russian-vaccine aside)
Do you like the summer or the winter?
I'm born in the summer but i like both. Summer is great for days out ((not this year unless you follow measures!!)) but I prefer winter because you can bundle up and drink hot chocolate
Do you think marmite should be banned? :confused:

some marmite think so but i dont
Do you like Tea or Coffee? (Only one choice permitted!)

but i like both!!!! fine, coffee!!
