today was my first day back in school since my summer holidays ended on sunday (i didn't have to go back monday or yesterday because there was teacher training and something else going on), i am missing it already! i am officially in year 11! it is form 5 if you convert it into hong kong secondary schools. this year of school is really important for me because i am having my gcse exams at the end of the year, they are big exams which are really important which almost determines your future! gcse stands for 'general certificate of secondary school'.
my new form teacher is mrs. welsh, this year was the first time i have had a new form teacher because for the past 4 years, i have always had the same form teacher who was mrs. thomas, she was so nice to us! i miss her... this year she is going to be having the year 7s, so my form was sent to have another form teacher.
and this year's subject teachers that i have got is as follows:
english - miss walters
maths - mrs. roberts-mills
science - miss richards, miss handsley
welsh - mrs. hopkins
religious studies - mrs. thomas
art - mrs. roach
graphics - mr. pettit
geography - miss morgan
argh! why mrs. roberts-mills again this year?! she really makes me have headaches because she gives so much pressure to you in class as well as homework, i dared not to fail my exams in maths last year, otherwise she'll go mad! i hope i can cope with her this year... and another year of miss morgan for geography? boring...
i also received back some of my exam results that i sat before the summer holidays, here are the grades i received back:
chinese - B
religious studies - A*
science - C
maths - fail
and here are the my results i received back from my mock exams:
english - (haven't receive back yet)
welsh - (haven't recieve back yet)
art - A
graphics - A
geography - B
i failed in my maths module exam, i have been so upset about it because i spent hours revising for the exam and now i failed it. some of my friends didn't even revise and they passed? how can this happen to them? it is so unfair! i had 129 out of 179 marks, we can only get an A or a B in this test, if you had lower than that, you'll get a U, which is a fail. to get the B, you had to at least have 140 marks, argh! if we were allowed to get a C, i could have passed! i was only 11 marks away from a B! i am so annoyed! but i am so happy there is something called resit, i can resit the exam in january next year, i must do my best!
i hope i will do well in this year of school-ing and i will try my best on everything! please may God bless me.
