coursework grrrr

i've come to the conclusion that me and coursework do not get on. I hate the stuff, writing pages and pages of crap that i will never use again. I mean get this, im writing about my local town, the width of houses, the streets, where shops are position:realmad::realmad:. How will that help me in life!!!!! i know that it all goes to the worshipped 'GCSE's' but they should quite the crap and actually get us to do stuff that will help us. Anyone else get this crap??

Re: coursework grrrr

What subject is this?

I was alright with coursework...allowed me to take my time over it rather than cram about two years' worth of information into one two hour exam...

Re: coursework grrrr

I'm not an academic in the slightest (something of a handicap in a grammar school) so coursework was better suited to me...

What on earth possessed you to take geography GCSE? Are you mental?

Re: coursework grrrr

at the time it seemed good, but now, oooo how times have changed, the most wronge discion i have made in my life!!!! and that's sayin something lol, what subjects did you take??

Re: coursework grrrr

Maths, Science Dual Award (you got 2 grades for the one subject for some reason), English Lit, English Language, Spanish, Religious Education, IT, Food Tech or whatever you call it these days and Drama.

Didn't do too badly either - except maths, but then I'm dyscalculic so who gives a crap when you've got computers to do all your adding up for you?

Re: coursework grrrr

ezactly, im dooing mats english triple science (bad move) german, ict, georgraphy, history and dramma (good move)

Re: coursework grrrr

Triple science? Gross...drama was fun except for the written exam which bored the pants off me. Probably would have helped if I had bothered to read the material beforehand, but I still got an A so I don't care :lol:

Re: coursework grrrr

I have no idea if exams are, as many claim, getting easier, but they weren't quite a walk in the park when I was at school. But thanks to my lack of logical ability I was put in the lower sets for a lot of things which meant I got top grades for little work

Inuriated my teachers because my IQ's high but I'm not academic in the slightest. My sister is like a sponge for information - I'm more like a duck's back :lol:

Re: coursework grrrr

Re: coursework grrrr

I couldn't stomach the thought of two more years at an all-girls' school so I went to college which was awesome and did 4 A Levels. Media, Sociology, Classical Civilisation and General Studies. Passed 3 out of 4 (just about) thanks to a combination of illness, new boyfriend and drinking. A lot.

But I knew I never wanted to go to uni - nor could I afford to - so wasn't fussed. Just wanted the extra two years to figure out what to do next. And I'm still figuring it out :lol:

Re: coursework grrrr

lol your still young, live life to the max, better then being in an office doing the most pointless thing ever. Thats why im heading to the police. Got work experience in 2 weeks. can not wait. im going to the police, but instead of doing it the normal way, my friends dad is really high up and so we get to do things you dont usally do , i.e if there is a murder scene we are deffinatly going to it, as it say's in the job description. Aso get a ride in te lcal police helicopter and get driven to my work place, in a police car woop woop

Re: coursework grrrr

I wanna play with the flashing lights! :w00t:

To be honest, I'm pretty happy right now - married, kid, cushy job (albeit temporary right now)...I've never really known what I want to do with my life so I'm not feeling a sense of frustration like I'm being held back somehow...

I don't know if I'll ever work out what I want to do...

Re: coursework grrrr

i admire you angel, your view in life is amazing. atleast you enjoy your life and out in the big world, yet im in this little village, go to small school and have about everthing i do restricted.

Re: coursework grrrr

:lol: Trust me, Rugeley is not the "big world"...no one has ever heard of it and it's basically a former mining town with some agricultural industry to keep it bobbing along...we're on the doorstep of Cannock which was named and shamed as one of Britian's worst places to live :lol:

I know what you're driving at though...

This isn't the life I predicted for myself - not by a long shot - and I have been more than pleasantly surprised by how things have turned out for me. I figured I'd stay single till I was about 30 odd and then I'd get a house with some cats and just muddle along until I figured stuff out. Instead I had a kid, met Steve rather randomly two years ago and got married last year...rather nice set up, I must say

If you really think about it, the people who become something... aren't they the ones who worried about their future?

And I'm also worrying a lot. After highschool, what am I supposed to do? I'm too stupid to go to university... atleast the education-line-thingy's I can apply to after my IT-highschool. Lotsa math, and Im not very good at math! If Im lucky I can make a living as a webdeveloper, which would be awesome but that is kind of unsafe...

Cotswolds is VERY nice...but dull for anyone under the age of about 50, I think - or unless you like just walking around and looking at countryside for most of the time.

I worry a lot because that's what I'm like. If I'm not worrying, I worry that I don't have anything to worry about :lol: Having said that, not knowing what's around the corner is part of life for everyone on this planet and whilst this can be scary it's also enabling because, as you say, anything can happen and there is no guarantee tomorrow will even arrive - therefore you can either adopt the attitude that nothing you do matters so why bother, or you can say ok, I've got today. What shall I do with it?

Granted, that works great in theory and not so much in practice but you get the general idea.

As for faith and the future - my future on this planet is no more secure, promising or safe than anyone else's just coz I'm in the God-Squad - just look at the life Christians in China and the third world have to cope with on a daily basis. Even the Bible promises we'll have trials in this life and will suffer.

There's just as much chance to be sick, depressed, alone, stressed etc as anyone else in this world - there is nothing certain in this world other than death and suffering, if you want to be really pessimistic about things, but the uncertainty means you have lots of opportunities to change your perspective about stuff even if you can't alter the physical effects of your current reality. The faith element is knowing that despite the crap we go through, there is a point to it all (although I'm still waiting for answers concerning certain things!) and it won't last forever...

If Im lucky I can make a living as a webdeveloper, which would be awesome but that is kind of unsafe...

If you can get contracted there is more of a safety net I suppose - or if you wanted to go it alone, get a portfolio together and try to nab an investor perhaps? If it's what you really want to do then you should do it
