Haven't had a wordy blog for quite awhile. Here goes.

Why do we think ahead?

Choosing what unversities what courses etc can be quite stressful.

Today everybody in the 6th form had to attend a workshop just for the UCAS application which took 5.5hours for 4 workshops in school.

1st workshop was about interview skills. The careers adviser of the school was basically whisking through the important points on how to leave a good impression on the interviewer etc.

2nd workshop was run by my deputy house mistress. She was talking about how to choose the right course for you AND the right uni as well.
We went through a list of courses which started with 'G' and apparently there was a study on Golf. Not only that, there was a course on 'Green'.
Yes its called just that. So what is 'green'? It is the study of the environment *basically grass in the golf course lol* that's what we're told.

We were applying to UCAS in the next workshop with the guidance of our Senior Tutor. Its quite a simple process and i somehow got excited by filling in the forms *dont ask why*

The final workshop was about personal statements.

The first time when i came to this school my upper sixth were panicking about their personal statements and that kinda scared me. After the interesting powerpoint presentation, i somehow felt more confident and somewhat excited (?) about the whole thing about unis and personal statements.

So. My homework during the summer holidays (yes when im back at home!) :

1. Do a some reading about the course im going to apply to

2. Choose 5 unis that i would like to go to

3. Do research on those 5 unis

4. Start on my personal statement

5. Practice shaking hands for my interview (it is necessary)

6. Work experience (in the business i guess)

Its gonna be one busy holiday for me =)

Et toi?
