So I will officially be a non-school girl by June 20th. I don't know what that entails, apart from a shedload of the ole "growin' up". I'm excited - I have a lot of things planned; a yearbook; a prom; a year 11s trip to ... somewhere (that bridge will be crossed when I get to it) but there's an underlying bug inside of me that really doesn't want to leave school. Being a schoolgirl has been a cushion for me for so long. I've been able to block out so much because it doesn't affect me - I'm a schoolgirl. I can discard the Guardian's work pages because they don't affect me - although sometimes it's nice to flick through to see how much engineers actually do get paid. I've been able to ignore so much - the glories of being under sixteen. Given, as I've aged, I've noticed things gradually falling away from me. I can no longer get child fare for certain things because I'm over 12, over 14. I mean, when does 14 + constitute as adult ? Seriously.
This, leaving school, also comes with the responsibility of finding colleges. I applied for a place at a certain college and pretty much was accepted pre-interview. But I'm still thinking about courses. The courses that are solidly set in stone are: English Literature and Language, Geography, History.
I am tied though. What do I choose for my fourth option? Drama and Theatre Studies? I love the idea of it. I really do. Being a theatre critic for a newspaper seems like a very tempting career, or even actress. But there is also
Photography. Even if you do not "know" me, you know my life rotates around photography. I love it, and would go as far as saying... i'm .. relatively good at it. Relatively. Maybe even pretty good at it.
There is also sociology. I like the sound of sociology, it sounds pretty interesting adn would create some dynamic debates.
So y'see, I just do not know. My Mum's against the idea of taking five A Levels, and from what I've read on Yahoo Answers and The Student Room, it's a REALLY bad idea. If I could take five, it would most likely be Drama and Theatre Studies and Photography.
Oh goodness, help me. I can't make a decision to save my life.
