and you could die tomorow. i am actually serious when i recommend goin on holiday.
A-levels arent just there for people who want to bridge the gap because they are too lazy to work. Maybe thats just you.
exactly, finely someone who doesnt have their head stuck in a book! and whos ventured outside the library!
u clearly have a life, CONGRATULATIONS!
i only wander what these ppl do one sundays when the library is closed!
thank you!
i beg ur pardon?whats up with a c
You on the other hand, do not, so they are more important.
eyyyyyyy a C is good!
There's nothing wrong with a C if you have put the work in and tried your best.
But if you are too lazy to even go to the exam and would rather go on holiday, then you do deserve a C. Besides, she/he can't even spell.
Two points:
One-learn to type properly.
Two-not everyone who places their education (which may well have implications on their future) above a poxy holiday has their head stuck in a book. Im sure most people do have a life. You just seem to have your priorities wrong, in my opinion.
And they standards are slipping! What rubbish.
whats wrong with a C? i'm content and i have three a levels of D standards.
most employers don't give a fuck about results, just as long as you have the alevels.
if she is tryin to get in a fancy university then fine. but i doubt she is.
her prorities are in fact in a very correct place if you look at the bigger picture. and the fact she could die the day after her exam.
:yes:
At the end of my course, I will be employed as a Legal Secretary - you have to be able to spell in that profession! I will then be taking the Ilex route to become a Legal Executive, and then a Solicitor.
To do this, I need a grade E or above at A-level Law, and also the Legal Secretaries Advanced Diploma - which I have a distinction grade in.
Therefore, my priorities are not wrong, my education will not suffer, and I still get to take a holiday.
If you've already made your mind up, why come and ask for peoples opinions?
The probability is that you will not die tomorrow, so its best to actually make some minor effort to make sure your not doing a shitty job for the rest of your life.
your actin a twat which is out of charecter for you i do believe.
i have included plenty of spellin mistakes for you (and grammatical) to keep you going a while.
although i will not have the best job in the world. i will have one i'm happy with and which has future prospects within a few months.
a job isn't of great importance. as long as i'm happy there and make enough money. i want to get my music out and earn the respects not the pounds from it. is this a foreign concept?
enjoyin life is more important to me and if i can afford to, i will.
needless to say the 'mcdonalds' joke was neither true in any form or witty.
yours,
molo
I guess I was just trying to prove a point.
I fully retract my statement. Again, sorry.
:yeees:
Damn the younguns of today :rolleyes:
Bopz
yes.
just like my name isn't lucifer devil.
well, i'm buggered then.
1. People for whom exams are important aren't necessarily geeks. They just want to be able to do well for themselves later on ie. in employment/uni, and they're prepared to look at things long-term. It doesn't mean they don't have lives, you're stereotyping.
2. A C grade at A level is a real achievement for some people, and a bit of a disappointment for others. It all comes down to how well *you* could do; and since you've already got a C without taking this exam, surely it follows that you could do better than that overall if you take the exam? Don't you want to do yourself justice?
And on a seperate note, don't make a thread saying 'oops I booked a holiday 4 days before my last A Level exam' and expect people to be kind about it. Maybe if you'd explained at first that it was a retake and that you were doing another course as well as the 1 A Level, and that you've already secured a place to study next year, fewer people would've said, quite rightly, that you'd be completely insane to miss your A Levels.
:yes: i think that sentiment tends to get lost in academia; the best uni, job prospects, 'You should do it because you can' attitude.
Im hoping to do Sociology at Birmingham, i chose it because it was the best one.
But to be honest im going because primarily i think it will be a laugh, not for the subject itself.
Im even starting to think alot of sociology is baseless bollocks.
haha yeh, i applied to do criminology and sociology - now i'm not so sure!
