BACK TO SCHOOL

Tomorrow (Tuesday 3rd), is the day that I have to go back to school (I AM NOT READY.) This year I sat my GCSE Exams, therefore I had 11 weeks off from school, and I can honestly say that I feel like I need another 11 weeks extra until I feel ready to go back. (I AM NOT READY.) Last year was such a big, stressful year, this Summers break was desperately needed!! I am so grateful that we had such good weather this Summer, seems as it feels like it never stops raining in the UK!!

So this year I'm going into my first year of sixth form at my school, and sixth form is such a huge change from the past years in comprehensive school. There's different lessons, free lessons, new uniform, new privileges, there is just going to be so much change, and I am so nervous for that change. I'm not the sort of person that gets like this. I am always up for new things and enjoy adventures. But something about this step in my life is different. Its like I am actually growing up! I'm going to be 18 next year... YES, EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE!! Its scary isn't it!! It feels like life is pushing me along so fast that I'm not ready to leave the past behind. And I know that the past needs to be left behind  sometimes, but I feel that in my generation, everyone is rushed into growing up, and always having to think of the future, instead of just enjoying the now!

Okay, so I have realised I have rambled all the way into Physiological City, so I think its best if I stop here. 

Stay positive, focus on the future, but enjoy the present. Sixth form will be great, and I will enjoy it to its full potential! :)

LIFE EVENT - GCSE RESULTS

So last week (Thursday 22nd of August, 2013) was the long awaited day that I and many many others across the country received their GSCE results. In the UK, students of Year 11 (15-16 years of age) and sometimes Year 10 (14-15 year of age (depending on the school) take part in multiple examinations to determine the end grade they get for each GSCE course that they done over the last two years. Some people had more subjects than others and this varies in how many GCSE's each individual has. (Filling you in just in case someone was unsure).

So me personally have a total of 10 GCSE'S, 3 Level 2 BTEC's and 1 Level 2 NCFE. At my school there were 9 compulsory GCSE subjects, 2 compulsory BTEC subjects, and then students had a choice of 4 extra subjects from a wide range, which included GCSE's, BTEC's and NCFE's. I'm not going to post here what I had in EVERY EXAM, that would be existing, but my combined GCSE exam grades and GCSE course work determined what final GCSE grade I achieve.

These are the grades that I personally achieved;

GSCE Design & Technology - A*

GSCE Art & Design - A

GSCE English Literature - A

GSCE Information Technology - A

GSCE English Language - B

GSCE Welsh Literature - B

GSCE Religious Studies - B

GSCE Mathematics - C

GSCE Science (A)- C

GSCE Additional Science - C

GSCE Welsh Language - C

BTEC Business Studies - DISTINCTION* (Equivalence to 2 A*'s)

BTEC Home Cooking Skills - PASS (Equivalence to a C)

BTEC Money & Finance Skills - PASS

NCFE Animation - 18 Points (I just know that I passed)

I am SUPER HAPPY with my results, I didn't fail A SINGLE SUBJECT!!! Hard work really does pay off, I am going to blow my own trumpet but I studied so hard for these exams and really put all of my strength, energy and effort into them, and I am super happy with the outcome!! :D
