Soo... I got back from my 'Welcome Day' at college earlier. It was pretty cool. I got my timetable, and I think I like it. I don't start untill 11 on a monday which is good because NaNo starts on a monday this year, so I can stay up for a midnight start because I don't have to get up too early. I have an even later start on Tuesday, at 1pm. But for the rest of the week I start at 9 and finish at a different time every day, depending on how many classes I have that day, and breaks between classes. On Friday I have a four hour break on Friday. I think I'm going to come home and the go back again instead of staying there the whole time, because I will have nothing to do. Especially tomorrow, which happens to be both Friday and my official first day. I probably won't know anyone so won't have anything to do.
I also have no days where I start at the same time as my brother, who has a car, so I'll have to get the bus every day. Today I met a few people I knew at the bus stop, which was cool. Two completely full buses went past before we could get on one. Apparently this happens a lot and my brother says you need to walk up to the previous bus stop to actually be able to get on the bus. Fun fun fun.
My day today went pretty well. There was no one I knew in my tutor group, which I think was probably a good thing because (and this happened before on a 'taster day' I went to) if there was someone I knew I would have just stuck with them and not get to know new people. Our teacher told us to get into groups with people who were doing similar subjects to us, and I was with 2 peope who seemed pretty cool. Then we went around the college in our little group, to see if we could find all of the places on a list our teacher gave us. xD It was fun.
Then we went to the "Enrichment Fair" and I didn't sign up for any enrichment courses.
And then I went home :)
Tomorrow I have English Language, which I can't wait for, I think it's gonna be so good. It better live up to my expectations!! It's different to English at school. I think it's supposed to be about stuff like how kids learn to talk, and stuff like that. It's gonna be really interesting. And then I have a 4 hour break before I have Chemistry. I think I'm gonna go home for that. Later in the year I'll probably use it for homework/revision but right now I don't have much of that to do.
So that's all I have to say about how today went. It was good. I hope tomorrow is good too!!
Au Reviour!!

Oh, hi! I'm going to college in 2 days...
Oh hi, I didn't see you there.
I haven't made a blog post since late July, I think. It's now mid-september. But I will not give up on this blog! I've got so many (well, maybe about 5? I don't really know. It's probably only about 2 actually...) abandoned blogs, and I'm always thinking about how cool it would be to have a blog but never actually doing anything about it... so I will continue to write in this blog even if I take the occasional month-and-a-half long break.
Sooo, I start college on Thursday. O_O I think I might blog about my experiences... even though my current followers are from JulNo so probably don't care... xD Well, you might care.. I dunno. I need to somehow get more readers of my blog., though. I think I've only got 2 at the moment. I might post some links on TheStudentRoom but there's very few decent people there... the majority are either trolls who just want attention, or kids who are so far up their own ass... but you get the occasional normal person. So if you're reading this and are from TSR, don't get offended. :P
Sooo, in 2 days I am going to a Sixth Form College in order to do my A Levels. If you're interested, the subjects I'm taking are Maths, Biology, Chemistry and English Language. Funnily enough, Maths, Science and Engliah were the compulsary subjects at school and I bet most people are glad to be rid of at least one of them. xD Yet I'm carrying on with all 3. :P My secondary school doesn't have it's own 6th Form like some schools do, so everyone from my school has to go to a seperate college if they want to continue with their education. There are a lot of people from my school going to the same college as me, but I think only a handful will be doing the same courses as me and that doesn;t even necisarily mean they'll be in the same class as me. And there'll be lots of people I don't know. Now, I'm not the most talkative person. I'm not good at making conversation with people. I honestly don't even remember how I managed to become friends with the people I was friends with in school. So, um, I'm not really sure how it's gonna go for the first few days. Of course I'm going to make extra effort to get to know people because even though I'm shy, I do like making new friends, it's sort of exciting. It's just that I'm not very good at it. :P Buuut hopefully there'll be lots of people like me, who are kinda nerds, and have no friends yet either. So I can be friends with them and it'll all be gooood. ^__^
Thursday isn't really our official 'first day.' It's just this welcome day thing, and I think we just go in and get our timetables and stuff. Hopefully I'll meet some new people on that day... and then classes and everything starts on Friday.
Well, I think that's all for now... I'll tell you how everything goes :D
BYEEEEEEEE
