I'm at a sixth-form college and I do Maths, Physics, Biology and English Lit. I did Chemistry at AS last year as well, but I dropped it at A2 because I hated it. I love it so so so much and don't ever want to leave.

At uni studying Environmental Geography. The course is pretty good and quite interesting, but to be honest I'm quite fed up with it and would rather I was just given my degree right now.

Er, year 9.
Next year for my options I'm taking french german history and drama. I think.
School sucks at the moment. It sucked last year, too, and will probably suck next year, too =]
I just mess around in lessons. I used to make an effort, don't anymore.

I'm hoping to take them 5 on to college next year too, except I'll probably drop English Lit after I get the AS because I definitely need the other 4 and I'll probably want to concentrate on them. c:

Oooh, you want to do Veterinary Medicine, don't you? I'd really miss English Lit so much if I'd dropped it because it's nice to have a break from all the Science and Maths stuff. It's probably pretty lucky that I'd miss it so much though, considering that I'm doing it next year at uni.

I went to college to do AS & A levels (ICT, Psychology, Sociology & Photography)
Dropped out cos that college was right where my friends all were hanging about and having fun and I just ended up never going to class and getting so behind.

Got jobs doing loads of different things for a recruitment agency, I really enjoyed that actually and it paid prety good.

Then in September I started at a different college again doing AS levels (Psychology, Sociology & English lit .. didn't wanna do English Lit though, but the class I wanted to do got dropped cos not enough people wanted to do it so I had to pick between that, business and history so I just picked it)

& Yeah I really enjoy it and I'm doing realllllly well, like better than ever. Got 2 A's in the 2 modules I did in January and I've made some amazing friends :D

I went straight into work and that was the right choice for me at that time. I'd had alot of shit to deal with at school and there was nooo way I was going back into education at that point. My friends moan about all the work they have to do for college and uni, whereas I leave work at work. I've loved the financial independance I've given myself and the life skills I learnt from working. I'm not completely ruling out going to college in the future, I'm fully capable and if it furthers me in my career I don't see why not.

Sixth Form for 2 years to do Chemistry, Maths, Geography and Biology. I completely messed up and chose the wrong subjects so only ended up getting A levels in biology and geography (them being the only ones I was interested in). Now at uni doing a degree in geography and I love it!
