went to the colleg ei wanted to go to. told me to come back tomorrow as admissions officer wasnt in. (tomorrow is today)
went. real nice woman. said she's call me back to let me know when i will have an interview with head of sixth form.
dont know what thta mean in term of place?
called back (just when dad walked in from jumua)
said had an interview at 9:40 on thursday. and told me all the papers i needed to bring.
still dont know if that means ive got a place? or if i will have to change my subject.

the smooth(?) running of this might be because i had already applied to this college previsouly but rejected them when i got the other college (closer to home). I hope they wont hold nay grudges against me, nad make me work as a cinderella for rejecting them and then coming back...

if u passed english language at gcse and u have the required gcse pass grades for your course, then you got a place almost guaranteed... in my experience all they really looked at was whether u had passed english language....

law is good if u can write fast and remember loads thats a defnite advantage

im kinda applying to the college NOW. so classes might already be full, so they might ask me to change my subjects.

edit: i dont really want to be a lawyer. I want to let my skills and qualities go to waste
and as i've said before. We've got you, so why need me?
What do you want to be? Barrister? Solicitor? (not that i know anything about it, was just listening to my friend talk the other day, for once...)

I did sociology. The only thing I found interesting was Crime and Deviance. Other than that everything else was boring.

Government and Politics was even more boring.

Psychology was the best.

Depending on the career you're looking at, choose your subjects carefully.

Agreed, goverment and politics was a yaaawn, well atleast the second year was because it was american politics. First year on the other hand helped alot as i was doing law and GnP first year is all about UK politics.

couldnt stand psychology found it extremely boring

Solicitor, but it could be that after my final year i could change my mind... loads of option tbh, wouldn't mind going onto teaching aswel.

i want to choose subjects that are quite open and can lead me into lots of different things, I think psychology is also a good subject for that reason too.

I need to be sure what i want to do by wednesday :S

you can go onto do alot with maths and stats and business studies.

English language could lead to quite interesting careers

and sciences is the abvious category....loads of career paths to choose from

goverment and politics ...be warned, you will either love it or hate it (and i really mean 'H'ate!)

not much i can say about law as my opinion would probably be bias lol but personally enjoy it alot still stand firmly by my choice.

It clashed with Psychology, and if i chose not to do psychology it would still clash with History. So i had to change my mind :/ i chose re over sociology cuz it seemed to be easier yet everyone says they're similar so it'd be ok. oh well.

nope no uniform, just bought it during whenever (a long time ago) and i've been wearing it to the school so that they think im a "studious" student and take me in

but because im so awesome i'm going to create my OWN uniform. (btw i HAVE found a burgundy jilbaab, but i think i should post in Jilbaab topic)

Edit: just reread whole thread (not really) no sign of parents opinion on your subjects. Let me know where it is!

1. Boring.
2. Boring.
3. Boring.
4. Didn't learn anything tbh.
5. The biology was too simple.
6. Should have been a GCSE subject.
7. The teachers kept trying to defend how it was a science.
8. they kept emphasising in every lesson.
9. Neighbours who did philosophy had a tea party every thursdays.
10. we begged to have a tea party and got taught something useless instead.

How many more reasons would you like?

1. Interesting
2. Interesting
3. Interesting
4. Learnt loads
5. Enjoyed learning about sleep disorders, anorexia, bulimia, schizophrenia, depression, OCD and more along with the weird and wonderful case studies.
6. How it links with the various approaches in psychology which try and explain it.

Forensic and criminal psychology is even more interesting at degree level.

Sometimes a cr@p teacher can make an interesting subject look boring. I had a fab teacher. The people in my class were jokers aswell.

It seems like you enjoyed the gossip aspect of it...

Okay. Fine. Although I agree with the last sentence, i found most of the approaches boring.
