*sips *

You're right. The throuble is that now I get the urge to do work...

*snatches it back*

well, we can't have THAT

I know, I've got a couple of weeks before I have to do that essay! I can't just get it out of the way now, that would be wrong!

what essay might that be?

The Introduction to Literature one, but I've got a Colonialism one as well...does it make more sense if I say I'm doing English at uni? I've also got a test next thursday which I don't have a clue for.

good luck ^_^

Thanks, I think I need it, we already had someone drop out of the course because the deadlines were too much pressure

i know the feeling when i first started 6th form, for reasons i cannot begin to fathom, i took maths, and after about 3 weeks of hardly managing to do ANY work, it dawned on me that it wasn't for me

Strange, the entire maths class at my 6th form had the same idea.

I took business and accounting (separate things) but have absolutely no interest in business in any way.

And yet IT which is the subject I'm really good at is my lowest grade...maybe I should have been less sarcastic in the lessons and listened

i was excellent at maths, i still am in fact, i am not, however, any good at "remember what it means when it says this and that* that isn't maths! algebra i can understand but no-one will EVER EEEEVEEEER have a use for triginometry!

well actually many people use trigonometry... I just can't think of any no your right no-one actually uses trig but I'm sure its a branch of maths that lead to other things

When you make roofs you work in triangles. My grandad was a carpenter so he had to do stuff with roof beams. I think I saw some papers once that he was working on.

I was good at maths, but not the maths bit. I can't add or do simple sums without writing down all the numbers because that's how my brain works, but I can easily remember the rules for the creation of a Trading, Profit and Loss account and Balance Sheet. That is why I always did well in the calculator paper. I could remember all the processes for doing the complicated stuff, except for the few bits that just wouldn't stick.

A level maths is more about the theory behind complicated sums than the fun stuff. It's the reason I didn't get on with physics in science.

they should put a delta on keyboards and 5g+7=9.5 G=?

0.5

I hope I get a prize for that because it required use of brainpower

*Hides calculator*

pfft, that was an easy one

I said I can't do maths.

really?

Yes, that A was a fluke

well we ARE in the shopping centre, we could rob you a mathematical brain enhancer but you should know, there IS a teeny tiny... 96% chance that it will kill you instantly
