Strathallan...

Ok… today I picked my 6th A-Level subject, Chinese. Yay! It’s not much to study, and the teacher wants me to do both AS and A Level this year. Lesson time: 2.15 – 3.30pm every Wednesday afternoon. And that’s it. 75 minutes every week. You bet it’s going to be easy. It’s mostly translation from Chinese to English and vice versa, and a 180-words essay for AS level and 500 words factual essay for A level. This paper is designed for the locals here… so I don’t think it’s a problem for me, I hope.

Got my first test on Friday – Core Maths. It’s one of the 3 syllabuses of Maths we are studying – Core Maths, Mechanics and Statistics, and each of them is taught by a different teacher. And each of my other subjects - Chemistry, Physics and Biology has 2 teachers, each focusing on different chapters. OMG… despite having just 6 subjects, I have 12 teachers. Cool, right?
Let me share with you what I have been doing in the school for the week.
