First AS exam: done!

I took my first biology exam towards the A-level qualification earlier and I thought it was quite a good paper; I felt very comfortable with the first few questions as well as the two 5-markers. In the end I think my revision was sufficient, and I really hope that will show in my results. I should probably check when the results come out - I think it was March 8th for the German GCSE exams I took in January last year, so I only have about two months to wait! Hopefully I won't have to retake!

Sixth Form so far

It's been nearly a month since I joined sixth form, and I'm actually really enjoying it! Recently we've been completing September Assessments to gauge whether we should stay on our courses or not, and so far I know I've passed psychology and German, I hope I've done all right in biology, and I still have the chemistry test to do. Also, I've already taken opportunities to enrich my studies, including applying for a university programme to support my A-level studies, and expressing interest in the World Challenge 2014.

A quick catch up!

Hey! Since I had to log into blogger again, I felt it was about time for another blog post. It's lucky I still remember my password! Anyway, here's a few notable events that have occurred since 19th November:

  • At Chris's film night (on the 19th) we watched the film "Dead Silence", which I was really happy about because it stars Donnie Wahlberg and was created by the same people who came up with the Saw franchise. The film didn't disappoint, and I purchased the DVD for £3 yesterday, without being asked for ID!
  • My first ever internet purchase, "Meet Joe Mac" by Joey McIntyre arrived on Jonathan Knight's birthday (29th November), which is also the 333rd day of the year!
  • I also had my sixth form interview on that day; I will be studying chemistry, biology, German and psychology (provisionally) next year, and get to research intense celebrity fandom and stalking. Sounds interesting...
  • On December 2nd I broke my school bag, a trusty sidekick of a year and a quarter. By Monday evening I had another bag: the same design but in a different colour!
  • The 5th to 9th December was mock week, meaning I didn't tweet much and revised a bit. Most of the exams went okay, but I'm glad it's over!
  • Yesterday, in addition to the DVD, I bought 7 CDs by The Feeling, Backstreet Boys, Muse, Mika and Take That.
  • It's a week and a day until my birthday! I'm going to see "New Year's Eve" with friends to celebrate.
See ya soon!

No more science modules!

We got the results back from the Physics 1b test in science today, and I got an A* (50 out of 50), so I now have no more modules to worry about! Not that they were worrying, mind you: 36 questions and all of them multiple choice suited me just fine. I'm now looking forward to the Biology 2 exam on the 19th May (Chris Donati's birthday, poor him), and History on 7th June. Fun.
