(no subject)
Took the day off college today, so that I could finish my English coursework, do some music practise, and spend time liasing with universities about a change to my application. (The fact that I actually finished my English coursework by 11am, and then painted my nails, watched Bridget Jones' Diary, and went back to bed is moot point.)
I've decided that I'm going to drop Politics A-level. Not, as it would be with most people, because I don't like Politics - actually, American Politics is wicked, and I wish we'd done it last year, when I actually liked Politics classes - but because my teacher seems to have developed a bit of a nonchalent attitude this year, which seems to have affected her teaching. Not only did she not organise any revision classes for people doing re-takes (I ended up organising revision sessions and providing past exam papers for Sam), but she's doing none for the exams coming up, and, worst of all, lost my coursework question, told me that I'd never handed one in, and presented me with one of the 'spares', which I don't know how to answer.
Plus, classes are deathly boring, and if I have to go to even one more, I shall end up throwing myself out of the window. (Not that this would be fatal - the classroom's on the ground floor. It would mostly be for dramatic value.) I spent most of the last one amusing myself by unfocussing my eyes, and seeing if I could still read the worksheet. Yes, they are that dull. Everyone else that I've talked to seems to be in the same mindset, but I am the only one in the lucky position of having four subjects, so that I can drop one. I am encouraged by the fact that nobody, so far, has said, "Dropping Politcs! Oh, what a bad idea!" and instead, the only respose that I've had has been, "Good for you! Wish I could!"
So I am fed up, if it was not obvious.
I've spent the morning contacting various universities, asking if they would mind if I just dropped Politics, seeing as I'm currently doing for A-levels, and I only actually need three. Exeter and York (which have hereby become my favourites) have e-mailed back lovely messages saying that it would be fine, and good luck with everything else. The other two I am waiting to hear from, but no doubt they will say the same thing.
Now all remains is to see my Politics teacher, tell her that I'm leaving, and cower a lot. I am considering the option of just not ever going to another lesson, and hoping that I don't run into her in the corridor, but I think that would be rather unwise. Not that taking days off college because I can't be bothered to go is a particualrly good idea, but still.
Grrr. Argh.
Off to do some music practise. Exam on Thursday. Ooop.
