I'm seriously considering how well I'm going to do in Year 13 due to the amount of extra work I'm giving myself to push myself that much further to have a better chance at getting into University and onto the course I want.
The degree I'm looking at is a Joint Honours in Asia Pacific Studies and Chinese at Leeds.
However, to do this I need a grade C in a foreign language at GCSE... which I don't have. Therefore, I'm doing a GCSE in French for the duration of year 13... which is 8 months. I have quite good knowledge of French even though I haven't studied it formally since year 9, but my dad has had a house there for about 5 years so I've picked up a fair amount as we're over there a lot. But I keep being told how difficult it is to do well in it so I am starting to worry.. I just really want to be able to study Chinese.
I'm also have extra curricular Mandarin lessons at school hoping that it will put me in a more advantageous position and I'm doing an EPQ Extended Essay about Communist China in comparison to a non communist country such as South Korea or Taiwan.
As well as these I'm doing English Literature, Psychology and Music Technology A-Levels... not exactly easy subjects and I'm just so worried that I'm giving myself so much extra work to look better for University but I don't want it to affect my A2 grades... I don't know if I'm able to handle all the work because quite frankly, I am the master of procrastination.
I really need to get my head down and get off of Tumblr and Facebook and Twitter and just study study study.
On a brighter note, the girls met up this evening to discuss our holiday plans for next year and to eat lots of pizza, play singstar and watch TV... I love my friends!
