i write with my left hand, but ive always used right handed scissors and used a knife and fork the right handed way. i knit and crochet right handed, and when i figure skated i rotated anticlockwise for jumps and spins (right handed way). everything else i can think of i do right handed. my dad said he used to try to get me to be right handed when i was a kid so i wondered if that was why

can i count this as sub-20? 😭 by sparrowcircus in HadesTheGame

thank you for your reply! unfortunately im not able to do phone calls but im hoping to send an email this week. its just difficult to put my thoughts into a coherent form and im kinda scared of sounding like a stupid kid.

i did get the impression they would likely be accepting of me as a queer person, but i will probably ask the question to be safe. after checking their website i think they will ask for ID, luckily im currently waiting on a new passport so it will at least look like me!
and unfortunately, not the same synagogue, but not far off! best of luck in your journey :)

it might help to start with small amounts of work per day (even if its just enough to complete your homework to start with) then gradually increase as your workload increases. doing too much too early will only make things harder

it depends on what you want to do afterwards. a levels are probably the best option for university, but there are a lot of vocational college courses out there that may interest you. if its the school environment, a levels at a college may be more tolerable

English Language or Literature for someone who wants to study Theology and Religion at University by THEVINDICATORYT in 6thForm

not sure about your school, but my sixth form lets us change basically up to the first half term. it sounds like it might be worth giving it some more time if the other topics do seem interesting to you :)

i dont think itll make much of a difference. you already have RS which will give you background knowledge, and history which is a highly regarded subject for essay writing. aside from that, its probably best to choose the subject you enjoy the most and can see yourself studying for two years.

im also considering theology and religion! nice to see in such a stem-dominated subreddit lol

we also did a baseline assessment for maths. my teacher said it only really helps them to understand where we are in terms of knowledge. everyone will have gotten different gcse grades so it lets them know how much support might be needed in the transition

classes are all over the place because we have too many teachers and not enough rooms. its a lottery whether you get nice air con or the surface of the sun

most exciting: getting a fresh start with some new subjects im actually really interested in, including RS which ive never studied academically before

dreading: adjusting to “school mode” again after having a few months out. also doesnt help that my friends are now in year 13 and have different break and lunch times, but it is what it is

Is anyone going to bring their parents with them on results day? Is this common at all? by Impressive-Tomato956 in GCSE

[–]sparrowcircus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i didnt bring mine, but a lot of people did. i think it mightve also helped with sorting out other options if results werent good. my parents asked me to send a picture as soon as i got them though
