I have spent the whole day revising Business Studies. While watching a little tv of course! I know all there is to know at GCSE level about Product Life Cycles, Employment Law, Quality Control/Assurance, Break even, Motivation and Non-financial rewards etc. I've only got to read other a few more notes, then actually memorise the dates of some of the acts. At least I'm lucky enough to even have a semi-photographic memory. Really helpful sometimes!
It has been so boring today. My mum went and had a nap and is just waking up now (3 hours sleep in the day. I wish!). I'm starting to feel a little tired, so I reckon I should probably go and take some more Pro Plus (tis not healthy, taking caffeine at such a young age. Hn....what the rents don't know).
I haven't read a book in 3 months. This is not good. I'm used to devouring 1000 page novels in 2 days of semi non-stop reading. I just haven't had any time, and my personal writing is seriously starting to decline from a lack of inspiration by other writers, not only in content but also in style. I may not write very well all the time, but there are instances where the full availability of a vocabulary which I do have were possible. I find myself having to look for words, trying to express myself better when it used to come with such simple ease. It must be true that if you don't use skills they soon turn rusty and regress to another state.
I thought I had maths first on the Monday. Apparently it is English Language. Which means I have to read some poems I haven't looked at for about a year.
You are probably wondering how I could have managed to forget what was on the first day, but here is the reason why (not the excuse):
Last wednesday was Open Day at my school. So that they could set up, we got to leave school 35 minutes earlier (WOW!). I was leaving Biology when I realise that I had left my flute. So we went back to get it. By the time we got to our lockers, most of the people had gone. Now I have a Business Studies Folder. Wednesday's is a particularly busy day, so I was carrying it in my hand. I then put it on top of one of the lockers, while I was putting on my coat. I then got distracted and started to talk to one of my class mates. (All-girls school). Me and my other friend left. Without picking up the Folder. So now I don't have Unit 4 on me, because I thought it was at home (Wednesday Evening). My Business Studies folder also happened to have my exam time table in it. I therefore had to call up one of my friends to get a copy of it.
I'm not too worried though. Last year I got the highest in all of Year 11 (there are two groups of say 15), and nobody got anywhere as high a mark as I did. I love business studies, and I'll be taking it next year as a full A level. Besides, We've been doing Marketing recently, and I´'m not too worried about it *bites nails*. Seriously though, I'm more worried about memorising those dates than anything else.
For my A Level's next year, I'm thinking about taking for A levels: Business Studies, Maths, English Literature and German.
For AS I'll be taking Chemistry, or if that class is too full or I'm not accepted (not bloody likely) I'll take Philosophy. In the 13th year I may pick up Further Maths
They say, don't take 4 A Levels if you are not expecting all As and A*s at GCSE Level. I already have one A* in German for GCSE, so the A Level won't be a problem (being fluent can be so damn helpful). But regardless of this, I know I'll get no more than a B for Music and for French. I can't do French in the first place after missing 2 years of it (Year 7 and doing German in Yr 10). They'll probably put me in for the foundation paper after the mocks for sure. I can't see me doing the intermediate paper, never mind the Higher Paper.
