Pierced Musie Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 Prefects at our school were usually called nerds. But then the school I went to was known as ****kickers Central I am celebrating getting through what I felt would be the hardest part of my Skills for Working Life course. I was working on two units today which were Following Instructions properly & working in a group. Its the group part that freaked me out but I got through and it was very fun. We were making pizzas on a barge. It kinda got messy But I'm proud of it. Just a few more units to finish and then I'm done with the course muwah!
Pierced Musie Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 It was a strange two hours Moving around a small kitchen and making pizza's while ducks kept coming up and quacking. Although we are used to that considering the Connexions barge is right by the baguette barge. Also there were alot of tourists looking in as they went passed cuz me and this other girl were pretty much cackling. Its an event worth celebrating. Now I can work with others I need to move on to my phone skills. Ya know... try not freaking out whenever it rings
Claire Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 I don't really understand the Scottish education system... Am I right in presuming that you take exams at the end of this last school year, Ash? If so, are they equivelent to our GCSEs or A Levels? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think Standard Grades = GCSE's Highers = AS Levels Advanced Highers = A Levels Although, going on what I've heard, the English equivalents tend to be tougher - perhaps why Scots spend an extra year at Uni (4yrs) compared to standard English courses which last 3yrs? What am I celebrating today? Sleeping my whole morning away and getting up at 2pm? (Well, I was impressed...)
Pierced Musie Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 Welcome to the realm of the lazy assed people. If you want tips on how to stay asleep longer just ask one of my muses... *hears the protest* Muwah
Ryan Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 No, us Scot's are brighter, so that's why we get higher marks, not our exams being easier.

Liz.. we take exams around about the same time as English kids do. My exams were in May/June. If it helps to work it out, this was the second time that I did like official exams when you get the formal results and everything. The exams I just took were Highers. This year will be my last year at school but I could have left a year ago if I wanted to. I don't think it would necessarily be fair to say that English courses are harder, I think different is the word. Oh and Ryan, I'll vouch for what you said!
Liz Posted August 28, 2005 Report Posted August 28, 2005 Um... OK, that makes sense... I suppose... LOL, I'm not very quick on the uptake today... it'll probably click in a few hour time.
Di Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 I here the celebrations have allready begun!! Have a good one Hun
