So far today has been great. Woke up as usual, had breakfast as usual and went to lessons... as usual. The lessons have been beneficial; studying the C3 and C4 mathematics will give me an edge next year. The extrawork load is immense for double maths and maths + physics student. It was infuriating to hear the bio + chem students get less work than us AND they have tomorow off whereas I got two maths lessons!
-Life is unfair-
But thats not to say I don't like my lessons. Realistically (drifting away from the child-like thinking) it is better having extra lessons because at the end of the day the aim is to gain more knowledge and having a broader understanding of the subjects I chose. Also, seeing as I have been given this great opportunity; it is satisfying for me to make the most of it.
Tomorrow there will be a mock interview -Oxbridge style- for which I am preparing for. Throughout this 'trip' I have gained a lot of knowledge on the do's and don'ts of an interview. My tutorial "Beak" (the Etonian name for a teacher) is very helpful and recommended two books for us to read - which I will definately take a look at.
We are missing our recreation time by doing this blog, therefore I can not make any comments on the type of sports carried out by the rest of the students - however from the sound of things it seems enjoyable.
Tomorrow there will also be a barbeque party so I doubt we will get a chance to write a blog, but I will definately give it a go.
Lets hope I can finish the extra works tonight.
