Starting Sixth Form......seriously different to GCSE

I started Year 12 last thursday and it seems really different to the past 2 years...so far the work seems seriously hardcore compared to GCSE coursework! I can't believe only last year that having 13 exams over a period of a month was hard. I was so wrong. Now I'm getting headaches from learning so much but I suppose it's a good thing since it's getting my brain pumped.

Year 11s have no idea what's coming their way! They think that at GCSE you get bucket lots of homework a week...wait next year and your whole perspective will change.

Doing Media Studies feels oddly strange since it wasn't my first choice. I was trying to take Chemistry but the classes were too full and they thought I couldn't handle the coursework. However I'm DEFINITELY not saying that I regret chosing Media Studies. Some people think this subject (and General Studies) is really easy. Think again. There's a few things to get your head round like semiotics and how the media makes us believe things and how we are conditioned by society in certain ways. I find this really interesting.

I suppose this is connected to media, that America has made their version of skins! What the hell?! I love skins but why can't they just keep to original ideas.

Here's the ad for it, looks terrible!
