For English Literature, I got an A*, which is also what I got for English Language [which is a separate qualifIication with my exam board], I got a B in Maths for which I'm happy about as it meant that I didn't have any problem with getting into my chosen, although I do wish that I could have worked harder and gotten an A. I have an A* in Religious Studies Christianity, 3 Bs in GCSE Chemistry, Biology and Core Science although I did get 2 As in GCSE Physics and GCSE Additional Science. I got a B in Geography, [I hope I don't run into my Geography teacher at Prize Giving, as I'm not really sure she's going to be happy about this...]
I got an A in History and...
AN A IN DRAMA! I EXCEEDED MY TARGET! I really didn't think I would do so well, I have a feeling that if I bump into my Drama teacher at Prize Giving, she's going to be disappointed when I tell her that I'm not doing Drama...oh well.
Am I happy? Yes and no, I'm still disappointed about what happened with my science grades, but it got me into the courses I wanted to do. And I'm told that most employers look only at Maths and English so yes I am. I'm learning to live with my Bs. But I am going to make sure I have no Bs for my A levels! I'm predicted to get 4 As anyway so, yes, I've got a lot of work to do because I haven't yet learnt how hard A levels are compared to GCSE.
I've been at my new sixth form for a few weeks now and it's going great! I'm going to my first choice, which just so happens to be a very good sixth form [they have a lot of people from there going to top universities, like Cambridge] and it's very close to my house which means that I can walk to school! I'm really happy about that, because I love walking, notwithstanding the fact that I'm reducing my carbon footprint and I can stay after school without worrying about when I need to get home [as long as I tell my mum, of course]. Everyone's very lovely, friendly and helpful including the teachers who seem to passionate about what they are teaching, some more than others. They're very knowledgeable about their subjects some of them which is so cool since they can answer all of our questions that we bombard them with [especially true in my Organic Chemistry class].
I'm taking A levels for which a similar American equivalent of is AP. However, A levels take roughly 2 years. I'm taking A level Chemistry, Biology, History and English Literature. So far I'm really liking all of them. I must admit though, I love English Literature and History too. We're doing Russian history from 1881 to 1924 and how it changed the world which in my opinion is very cool! I've got two teachers for each subject teaching 2 different modules at the same time since sixth form or college in Britain currently lasts a year and a half so there's a lot to cram in! So we're doing British history too, from the 18th century to somewhere in the 19th century which is also quite interesting. I find Russian history more interesting though. I think one benefit of English Literature is that you get a lot of books, for a subsidised price. I love this class because I love reading and analysing text, notwithstanding that everyone's eager to learn and eager to share their views. Which is how all of my other classes are, by the way.
