I hate on of my A-levels

I absolutely hate A-level sociology, we have got off to the most boring start with it, doing about types of culture and research methods and I have hated it so far. I really wanted to do politics A-level and still do but they won't run it at my sixth form. I love my other two subjects, its just sociology which is really getting me down. I am 2 weeks away from half term which is the cut off for changing subjects. I don't know what to do.

They don't do Politics there, so you can't switch to that. What else have you considered switching to?

It's OCR, people have said it does become a bit more politcal if that makes sense but politics is one of the main things that I wanted to do.

There is sport and criminology which I wouldn't mind doing but there are both BTECs and I don't really want to do one of those. There's also biology, photography and I could do core maths and EPQ but I'm just not sure.

what are the other two subjects that you do? if you do a certain set of subjects you could combine that with the third subject that you want to switch to. itll be a good combination.
