Time does fly, no? I've been in London for 5 months already and the first year (well for me it's half a year) is almost coming to an end, and with that comes the exam period. Just wanted to tell you readers about my exams that are coming. I am only taking four papers.

First paper, Sociology (12/05/2009, 0900 to 1000)
Second paper, Mechanics M1 (22/05/2009, 0900 to 1030)
Third paper, Economics (03/06/2009, 1315 to 1618)
Fourth paper, Mathematics C1 and C2 (05/06/2009, 1315 to 1618)

Lalalala.......

#334-Subjects I'm Taking. 13:41

As most of you might have known by now, I'm the London currently studying for my A-Levels. In short, I'm in college. Davies Laing and Dick college to be exact. I don't think I have mentioned about this before, but I just wanted to give an idea of what subjects I'm taking for my A-Levels.

Economics

By far, I like this subject the most. I like how the way it works and the concepts and such. I am taught by a guy with the name of Dave Dineen. Nice-typical-British-accent guy. I am taking Units 1 and 2 for the AS-Level, which is the first year, and Units 3 and 4 for the A2-Level, which is the second and final year.

Core Mathematics

As you know, I only like Modern Maths and not Add Maths. I would say this Core Maths is sort of like a combination between those 2 subjects. I kinda enjoy it too as I've come to learn the terms, equations, how to do it, and etc. etc. The teacher who is teaching me is called Richard Milner. Nice guy too! There are 6 modules in this subject, but I'm only taking 4 modules because I've combined this subject with Mechanics. So I'm taking C1, C2, C3 and C4.

Mechanics

I'm taking Mechanics as a supplementary to Core Maths. I can take Mechanics on it's own, but I don't really like Mechanics and I'm already taking Statistics (another Maths subject) on it's own and I don't want to take to get to many A-Levels in Maths. So instead of 6 Mechanics modules, I'm only taking 2 which is M1 and M2. My teacher is called David Quinn.

Statistics

I'm not really taking the exams this summer, because Statistics for A-Levels is actually a one year programme. I'm only taking the classes now to try and absorb in as many details as possible before actually starting the course next semester. I find it hard, but hopefully I can get along with it. Teachers name is Mojgan Esfahani.

Sociology

Purely crap subject, but I'm taking it for the sake of getting an extra credit for A-Levels. I find it both interesting and boring. Michelle Tyler is the name of my Sociology teacher.

#313-UK Visa Trip December 2008 Part 4, The 2nd/last day, Breakfast and Shopping. 23:47

We only stayed overnight, so obviously we went back to Penang the next day. It started off with breakfast in the morning, and guess what? I met my school's English teacher, Pn. Gan at the breakfast buffet! She was having breakfast with her daughter. Then, me and my mum shopped for awhile, getting a new bag, buying some new clothes and such. After shopping, all of us checked out and went for lunch at my uncle's company's cafe, Ali Cafe in TTDI. Then we headed home.
