First half term of college

Finally! I've completed my first term at college.
From what I think of that, it's been extremely amazing! However, there were few problems but I managed to solved them.
The college is much much much different to secondary schools! I'll have to admit, I'm glad I didn't stay in sixth form! College is just so much better for me, and it's great to feel like I'm an adult too. Secondary schools weren't a thing for me, as I feel like I've matured a lot in last year so I wanted an environment where I can feel like a grown-up. I was rather surprised to how my college seem to never have any bullying or so, that differs a lot from secondary schools. The support have been amazing, and I'm really happy with my assistant as she is a lot funny and she watches out for me, making sure I understand everything.
Now that the first term is done, I'm being tied up with 17 pages of art sketchbook and roughly 20 pages of photography sketchbook to do! Warning, A Levels are actually a lot more than GCSE's!
I've decided to run a new blog where I will contain images of my artwork as an A Level example, so I will include the link of the blog in the next post (if I can remember! My memory isn't great.)

Have a great half term!

TIP: Choosing what to do after secondary schools are much far important than you think! Colleges have great support, as they always make sure you have support.

A Levels Progress...

So I've been at college for a month now. So far, I am very tired, as I come home later than previous school. I arrive home at 5pm or 7pm in some days which I am not used to. Thursdays are the worst - I actually arrive home nearly 8pm, and I have three hours free during the day which I thought to be pointless because the last lesson is put until 5pm from 3pm instead of the free lesson.
Last weekend got me so busy as I attended my boyfriend's brother's wedding, so I had no time to do college work. So you can really guess that I'm tied up with tons of work to do. Thankfully, I have this free weekend to go over them. I was planning to finish my photography work but unfortunately, my teacher took the sketchbook off me, I was really looking forward to finishing it over this weekend because I was enjoying it! So, that would mean I can just focus on Fine Art sketchbook (can be boring because it's similar to GCSE's that I did), and Film Studies work. At least, that's one subject work off my list for this weekend.
My assistant was off this work, so I had few assistants in few lessons. However, not one turned up to cover my assistant today, nor some other lessons from the week. But I didn't mind, because I was already used to it as I've not had an assistant (except two subjects) in GCSE's, so I coped okay. My friend was there to support me as well, so I was fine.
I recently got my currently working grades in few subjects. I've done an exam question practise in Business and received a C, which I am fairly satisfied with. In Photography, it was a D, but it was a start. The teacher also commented that I was very enthusiastic because he noticed how much I was enjoying learning new Photoshop tricks. He offered me some tips as he knew that I use Photoshop in my own time. In Art, I was rather surprised to be told that I am currently working at the grade B, and actually the top student with the highest grade in the class, so I was really pleased with myself. The art teacher said to me that she thinks I would get an A* by the end of the year, so I am really hoping to get that too! It would definitely make my day! I haven't got my feedback from Film Studies, but it seems that I am getting on well in the lessons, so that is okay.
I have been paying £4.50 every morning to get to college on a 1 hour bus journey, but thankfully, I managed to hand in my bursary application and got my free bus pass so that means I can finally save up, especially for Christmas! I was over the moon, because I was struggling with money then, but now, everything is becoming easy!

TIP: If you're planning to go to a college, you need to be aware that the first few weeks will be a great struggle, especially with your disability! Always be prepared and make sure you know a lot, including bursary applications, transport, and much more!
