I hope to go to Imperial College for Chemical Engineering or Mathematics.   Which subjects are you doing? For AS (and A2), I did English, Business Studies, History and Sociology. The subjects I'm doing for AS: Chemistry, Biology, Maths (Mechanics), and English Literature. I might drop English Literature next year, but I'm not too sure. Also I'm doing an extra maths class, Decision Maths 1 is the book I'm doing right now.   Have to be honest, I personally was never great when it came to maths and science especially. In year 11 I did well with my GCSE grades but I would not wish to repeat those subjects again.   I was going to drop Business (and at one time Sociology, but I'm glad I stuck that out!) after AS, but goodness, I'm glad I didn't- the sixth form in my school was fairly excruciatingly dull enough without having even more free time. I think it's always good to have a 'security grade', too.

I probably will drop English because I need to concentrate on my sciences and maths my favorite and coincidently my best subjects.

The sixth form has rarely been boring (except for a few times where I was without a book or music and my friends were in class) and I have to use my time wisely to get my homework done in time. And I am lucky enough to have breaks that are long enough for me to get home, relax, and then get back to school and never be late.

Like today I do not have a class until after lunch (my morning one got canceled) so I get to sit here at home and relax before going to school

In college right now, studying cinema, and unfortunately the only I know who hears Prog has a daily basis thing.

I am a student at the moment (high school), but ideally, I would have published a novel by the time I'm finished university (studying literacy, philosophy and the like) and will be a proffessional author for a living.

But, since that's unlikely, I would love to teach philosophy or literacy, or direct/write/produce movies, act, or play drums in a famous band.

Yet another student.

Anyone here pays his bills thanks to the salary he/she receives for attending college? .....   Anyway, I work in retail/sales, but I go to college.

We're getting paid in potential dollar earnings that we'll recieve latter.

I'm a sophmore Mathematics major with a minor in Physics and Economics.

I'm a video game programmer, but for the last year I've been focusing on listening to prog and doing basically nothing else. Talk about being intoxicated!

I happen to fall into two categories- student and professional musician
