OK, here we go. No more putting it off, no more saying I’ll do it and then not doing, this is actually it…I’m going to catch up. Alright, so last time I posted I was writing about my exams and I had two more to go, and I promised that I would write about what happened with my Maths exams so where better to start…
The background to the story goes back to last year and exams then. I sat Maths AS level way back then and didn’t do really well (that’s all written about in here, and is all gone now *tries not to remember*), so I decided to resit it this year, and went to my tutor, Joy, to ask her to tell the exam board not to accept my results. This was a little difficult because I had missed the time that the forms had to be back with the exams office, so I had to go across there and sort it out myself. Joy rang across and told them I would be coming and gave me the code for the door (amidst much patronising “don’t tell anyone” and “wash it off your hand when you have finished”). So I went and cancelled the results all ready for this year. Early this year, aware of the fact I needed to work on my maths, I went to see Joy to talk about some lessons and what I should do about it. She suggested that I start to come to lessons after the Easter holidays when she would be doing revision groups and that I would get the most out of them having done the course before. [read more]
Ooooh, did I do the failing to update again? Hmm, oops 😉 I have an excuse though…exams and things! Well then, if this works, here we go…
I think today might have decided the rest of my life. I had 6 hours of exams – Politics and Maths. My uni offers both take these A/S levels into account (to different extents) as well as my full A-Levels. The thing is I’m not too worried about my A-Levels (hmm, he says) because computing is alright, and Physics has got better since I had my extra private tutor…but the A/S levels have been kind of rushed, in fact, I have had no maths lessons at all this year. Anyway, I found out yesterday that I had a timetable clash with maths and politics this afternoon (long story, I will tell it some other time), so we contacted college and they arranged for me to do the politics exam this morning and the maths this afternoon and be supervised over lunch (so I didn’t go telling anyone who was doing the politics at the proper time what was on the papers). Not so much fun to say I had a day to revise the hardest paper for the hardest subject I’m doing (the Pure Maths module this is). [read more]
Yep, I did go and see the film (he says almost a month after writing about going to see it). I really liked it, and I am trying to find a time to go again, but its not really on at very convenient times anymore (at least not or bargin days, lol).
Yes, I know, its been too long again, and I have been meaning to write this for about a week now, but just have never got around to it. Im making myself catch up now while I have the time to spare – I’m sitting in college trying to fill in the time I have spare from my cancelled physics lesson. [read more]
