Apologies!

Once again I have forgotten for a lengthy period of time to post more blog updates! I don't really have much of an excuse, other than forgetfulness.

So, what have I been up to these past two months? Well...not much at all, really! I've been on lots of bike rides and have taken many photos. I can't remember much else of what I've been doing! However, I do remember that on the 6th of September I started my A-Levels! I'm going to a sixth form and it's at the same school I've been at for the past 5 years.

I've decided to take Biology and Chemistry as two of my A-Levels. Many people have told me that A-Level Chemistry is incredibly difficult, but I enjoy Chemistry and both of my teachers are great! I'm sure that I'm going to have a fun time learning Biology, too!

Now, about my third A-Level...it's a bit complicated! When I applied for sixth form, I chose Government & Politics as my third A-level. I also chose to do Core Mathematics, which is an AS-level course and so would only last for a year. However, upon looking at my time-table, I noticed that I didn't have many free periods in which to do extra study. This meant that I would have to do a lot of studying at home. I was considering dropping the subject after a week or two, but my first lesson was incredibly fun.

On Friday morning (15th of September) we were told during form time that we had until the end of that day to make any changes to our time-table. At this point, I had made up my mind that I wanted to drop Core Maths and I was now having doubts about Gov & Pol. So, during my 20-minute break, I went to the person in charge of changing and dropping subjects (I'll call them Mx. A so I don't have to mention their real name) and asked if I could drop Core Maths and swap Gov & Pol for Mathematics A-Level. My next lesson would have been Core Maths, so Mx. A found an A-Level Maths class which runs at the same time as my Core Maths class did. Even as I walked to the other end of the school, I was having doubts about my decision. At the end of that maths lesson I felt like I may have made a mistake by swapping. It was then that I remembered that some people had decided to pick 4 A-Levels and drop one after the first few weeks. These people have to decide by next Friday which ones they want to take. This gave me an idea; I went back to Mx. A and asked them if I could do Gov & Pol and A-Level Maths for one week.

I now have to make a decision...Mathematics or Government & Politics. I only have until Friday to decide! If anyone has done either of these subjects for A-Level, please contact me and tell me how you found the course!

Thank you for reading and goodbye until next time!
