And I’m going to fuck it up. I have received the information pack, my parents have been to the options evening and my Geography teacher has attempted to convince me that Geography is the right choice for me; that I could get a big shiny ‘A‘ with a nice twinkly ‘*‘ (my words) if I work at the same level I’m working now and persevere to apply myself (his words).
But all of that aside, I don’t know! I don’t know what I want to choose for my options! The only thing I knew I wanted to do was English and that’s compulsory anyway so a fat lot of good that does.
I can choose three options and a modern language, I’m doing Spanish out of school so French is a given. That aside my mother is heavily discouraging me from doing anything too practical, you know, with my cackhandedness and all. But she is recommending I do Drama, closest thing to English and vaguely tempting…
Another teacher of mine hinted at Religious Education (I’m good with Essays) and Classical Civilisation popped up somewhere along the way and appealed to something in me, as does History. Business Studies has chocolate and while I love Art, I really, really do, I can’t draw worth jack shit.
No matter what though, at the end of the year I’m going to make my decision, I have to, and I can only hope I don’t make the wrong one.
