Yeah, I was just going Indian on you thats all :p

If they are anything close to the AP stuff we have here, (The highest we can do) then I'm with you there. I'm one of the few 10th graders who are actually taking as many APs as I am. But the plus side is that I save tons of money for college because these are college level courses and I can skip them then. And I graduate out of college faster too. :)

Its worth it, but you'll have no life for your high school career :D

Yeah, but from the counsellors I've talked to and who've worked in American schools, they said IB was harder. You'll probably disagree but I think I'll go with the counsellors' word :p. The counsellors are American btw :p.

Moving on, I never thought I'd really like a class in school, because well, it's school. However, I'm really enjoying Theory Of Knowledge. Really questions everything you thought you knew, sometimes with just a simple question that you have no answer to.
 
Finally getting to the point in the year where it feels like we are wrapping up the work and units. Well two of us are anyway, most are so far behind.

Got Customer Care pretty much done now, look set for Distinction, likewise with Team Leadership, that'll be 36 UCAS points then. Thanks.
 
Starting doing GCSE coursework in most subjects after Easter. Already having work marked on GCSe specs.
 
I had financial awareness courses today which were useful. Now know more about credit & debt, gap years and being self-employed.

Afternoon went to the University of East Anglia for a tour. It has a nice campus and I would consider going. So much to think about though. Don't think I am good enough to get the required grades and it may be too close to home.
 
Some fairly important results tomorrow, should be all right though, if they aren't it's "get locked in a nightclub again drunk" to drown the sorrows.

Visited Bangor on monday, it was all right, preferred Liverpool uni but I want to leave Liverpool, so not sure which one to pick as my insurance.

Visiting Edinburgh in a week or two, 5.am start and home about 11.pm for the day trip.
 
I have sod all. Couple of essays due in after Easter, a presentation next week, apart from that, my main decision is what time I get out of bed, what I have for lunch and whether to go with Stella or Grosch. Life is so hard at times :p

How many hours of lectures do you have a week?
 
I think it is meant to be 8 hours of lectures and 3 hours of tutorials. Currently though I am making about 1 possibly 2 of those lectures :p but all of the tutorials. We are meant to go to the library to read, but they can go swing, gym or just general socialising is much better ;)

I hate you :( I get about 20 hours a week and I'm supposed to match that in private study.
 
How many modules you lot doing? I get to do about 21 for the degree I want to do, over 3 years.
