I had a bit of a bad year in Year 12... well, very bad. I dropped out over Christmas (then realised I shouldn't), wanted to drop Italian (but I was persuaded not to), did not nearly enough work, didn't take it seriously or appreciate my studies and just messed around. And, now, I'm suffering the consequences tomorrow. It's my own fault, really, but I've learnt my lesson now. My eduction is one of the reasons I began this blog, so I could keep on top form during the upcoming year and learn to enjoy going to school and learning!
So, onto the scary stuff. Along with hundreds of thousands of other British students, I am nervously awaiting the results to my AS levels. I know it must be worst for the the year above, who really find out their paths to their future, but I really am quite anxious.
My emotions are absolutely swirling right now. Will I do badly? Will I do well? Will this affect my university choices? Will I even get any offers? Like, I've always been told I'm naturally clever, and I got good GCSE grades, but I am genuinely so scared.
I studied French, Italian, Geography and Economics. I'm fluent in both French and Italian, but I found the actual exams hard, so I'm scared my grade will be lowered. I'm the only person in my sixth form who studies Geography, so I don't want to let my teachers down. And, my Economics teacher was appalling. Maybe I'm only thinking the worst, but you can see why I'm worried! But, you know, I may do really well and surprise everyone! I'm too scared to predict... I just want to think positively!
Next year, my last year of school, I pledge to work really hard and keep you guys updated with my grades, revision techniques and happiness within the college. One more year, I cant do it! I may even write a little list of goals....
Good luck, fellow students!
