So after my interview

I went to see my college today and we have now decided that I am dropping biology, retaking the second sociology exam, continuing with health but resubmitting a coursework piece and I will be taking both years of psychology at once.

Hopefully this get's my grades for uni.

Results day

Ah results day, the time we find out how shit we really did. Well I royally fucked up didn't I?

107/300 = U in Biology
87/200 = E in Psychology
113/200 = D in Sociology
207/300 = C in Health and Social Care (3 marks (3!) off a B, my target grade)

So next year it's official, no more biology for me. After failing, then retaking, then failing the retake I have decided to give up on biology and take another subject, the only thing now is I have to decide which subject.

I like the look of GCSE Italian but it won't get me any UCAS points. But I really like the Italian culture and I think that I would do well. My other option is taking English Literature. Mum's really pushing for this, she thinks it's a "proper degree" but I don't think I'll enjoy it as much because it would be analysing texts that I don't really like, but I suppose I could put up with it for one year.

I guess I'll know what I'm doing after tomorrow, I have an appointment to discuss what I can do next year.

Anyway I just needed to talk it out, to try and make up my mind.
