Heyyyy
So I took Art, DT Resistant Materials, Maths & Economics for A levels. These were kind of because I was thinking of doing Architecture, and also partly because I just picked the 4 subjects I least hated. But I don't want to do Architecture now. My favourite and strongest subject without a doubt is Art, and I enjoy the project and practical work in DT, but not the theory (Which is like 50%). And then there's maths which I'm alright at (A* GCSE) but I hate it, and Economics which is going horrifically. I've got about 4 Es and a D in the end of topic tests so far.
So my friend told me about an Art BTEC (worth 3 A levels) she's doing and apparently it's awesome and I really regret not doing it :l Because art is the subject I've always been fascinated by and I can do it as a hobby, and I never see it as work. But if I keep forcing myself to do other subjects which i don't enjoy, my art will suffer... I was told at the end of the day if I want to do Art in Uni all I need is one A level in art, and another 2-3 in anything, but now I feel like I'm wasting my 2 years in 6th form doing stuff I don't enjoy when I could be doing what I do enjoy. Dropping out isn't really an option since it's already been 4 months, and I doubt any college would let me in. I guess there's not much you could say but I just wanted to have a moan :P
Thankyous x
