I'm currently in Year 11 at Enfield Grammar School,in Enfield,North London.A few notes here:

-Its a boys only school,so no girls
-Its not a grammar/private school,just a rather elitist boys only comprehensive (Its elitist because we give sport and music scholarships to people)
-The teachers and most of the pupils are morons

Hooray for Reading Uni!! Multicultural, and thoroughly noisy. 'specially in my hall, which has a ridiculous amount of people in it
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.

Sixth Form (College)

Biology - Really into how the body works and want to be a microbiologist when older so I need to pass this one.

History - Just for general interest really, like knowing how things came about and what happened in the past really.

ICT - Got 1 A* and 2 A's at GCSE in this subject so i could really turn it down, should and hope it to be an easy pass.

Psychology - Originally this was there as just another science to be used to get into uni with but I am really enjoying it, fresh away from the other studies.

Its all going well, the Biology course is quite challenging but apparently the course all comes together when we do other units, the other courses are quite challenging but easy, so yeh all is going well. :)

Yeah,im in 2nd year too. The qs are analysing sites we visited in Fra/Bel and their usefulness to historians in explaining high casualty rates suffered by the Allies. The other one is a huge question analysing all the sources we were given. On top of that i have geography in for next friday which is analysing river data from a school trip (using last years result as we didnt go on the trip due to heavy rainfall i.e. they cant trust us when the "river" (stream) is 1.5ft high instead of 1ft high).. oh, and i have a chemistry piece on wednesday that makes up 15% of my GSCE, so excuse me, i gotta go and study... how to lap the top gear test track on rFactor :p
