As a result of finishing my GCSEs, I had the longest summer holiday to date. Three months of freedom. The first week was the best. I didn't have to do any revision, I could just chill out and relax. By the second week, I was bored and missing school. For the five years I was there, I couldn't wait to get out. Now that I was out, I wanted to go back. The human mind is really confusing at times like these. I think what I missed most was the people, I had a big friendship group and knew most people. Suddenly, we were all going our separate ways. The group was divided. St. Peter's Sixth Form VS Godalming College.
I remember results day as if it was yesterday. Getting a lift into school with my mum, I told her to wait in the car. Who wants their mum to be there when you open your results? I walked up to the library, or the Learning Resource Centre (LRC), as my school called it. I saw my friends standing in the corridor waiting for more people to arrive before they went in to get their results. I decided to join them. However a very good friend of mine turned up, we didn't want to wait. We decided that we shouldn't put it off any longer and just see what our results are. We walked into the library and went over to the table, I said my name and they handed me a brown envelope and ticked my name off the list. My friend and I went back out to the corridor. We were holding an envelop which would change the future. I needed 5 GCSEs A* - C to get into Godalming College. I'm not the most academic person but I was quite confident I had done this. If I didn't I wouldn't be able to go to Sixth Form. I had only applied to Godalming College. I achieved 11 GCSEs A* - C.
The 13th of September was the first day of college. I was so nervous. I got the the train station and saw people who I knew, thankfully. The train was delayed by half an hour. Typical. When the train arrived, I was even more nervous. I was having doubts about whether I had made the right decision. When I got to college, I knew I had.
So here I am, one term into to college. I can't wait to finish! I hate Product Design. Music Tech is way too much work. Business Studies is boring. Photography is awesome! If I could, I would drop everything except Photography.
The best thing that has happened this year is I got a job! Yes, a job. I am now a hard working citizen. I am a chef in a restaurant... McDonalds! You're probably sat there reading this and thinking: "You're not a chef!". Well, it's not my job title, but technically I am. I prepare food in a restaurant. I absolutely love it there. Yes the pay's not brilliant, but everyone is so friendly, I get on with almost everyone there. I feel like I have to give someone the best burger that they have ever tasted. Customer satisfaction definitely motivates me. My mum said to me: "Think of it this way, with every burger you make, you sending someone to their grave early.". Thanks mum for your support.
Bring on 2012. The end of the world.
