Kelly, how can you drink tea without suger?!

Applied maths looks alright, and not that hard if you're a maths type person.

I'm a guy btw, I know the usernames misleading

And to add another random question should I do applied maths outside school or not. Is the course voluminous

I like Earl Grey and any Japanese green tea. I'm going through bit of a peppermint tea phase lately, drinking loads of it. But no way do I ever put sugar in tea! it's a sin

Love really strong coffee too (sugar-free aswell :P)

Grind school... Everything makes sense now! Yeats? ;)

Nope, rather not say to be honest

I don't see how the school could force people to stay behind so they could study and do homework. Surely the 'messers' wouldn't agree to it and parents would be upset.

But I'd prefer it like that aswell, I love school

You know, it was all made very clear from the start, so everyone should know exactly what they're getting in to.

I know, I love school too

In fairness, it is a grind school (not the IOE!)

I really cannot wait to start, I think the whole structure and way of doing things is really going to suit me!

Yeah I know 'School' school runs until 4:30/5:00 depending on your subject choice and then there's a mandatory study/homework period until 6:30.

I prefer it that way, so we get most of or work done at school, and have relatively little to do at home. Plus we have three breaks throughout the day so it's not so bad. I reckon it'll take some getting used too though!

What kind of school is that
I dont understand how a school can introduce a mandatory after school study unless it's voluntary

You finish school at 6:30?!?!?!? I thought going over 5pm was illegal.

My school day will be 9-6:30 so I guess that's why we start back late.

Wish we did start earlier though, all my friends are back now, leaving me all alone!

WHAAAAAAT?!!!!

Do you mind me asking what school?

Surely that can be allowed.

How does your day break down?

Is that really good though? We will all have like an extra week off next summer or during the year?

So what is everyone's objectives this year ?
Going to start studying for the LC now or in the summer,
Or just do extreme hard work, listen in class, do homework and get good results ?
As for me, it is the second option.

I just finished settling my books and making up my mind of when to study and what for my LC.
I think I will change my previous options but to something similar.
Since I am doing 6 subjects in school and 1 after school subject (ag science) that leaves me with economics, which I will be doing home.
So instead of studying these 2 subjects(ag and economics) I will be studying them 2 in every holidays such as Christmas and Halloween since I will have nothing better to do, the rest school days and weekends will be just focusing on my school subjects, doing homework, revising.
By doing this I hope to finish much of ag science and economics by summer and then using the whole summer to study all 4th year and 5th year my school subjects.
Which will only leave me to study 6th year stuff during 6th year and then all revision rather studying the rest.
