Hi guys!
Two updates in a month but they are so far apart, it might as well be one month.
I got my subject combination around two weeks ago and I am very fortunate that I got my first choice.
It might also because I chose literature but practically no one else did because they hate the subject.
So my subject combination is SS/History, Literature, Chemistry and Physics. You all have no idea how glad I was when I realised that I didn't need to take geography. In fact, I am currently having a private party in which I set all my old (and now useless) Geography stuff on fire. It is very calming.
And flammable.
Chemistry is compulsory in my school and then you have to choose whether to take Biology or Physics the next year. I chose to take Physics instead of Biology because this year, there was quite a large amount of focus on Biology and my results just went pfft. So physics it is!
For the secondary 2 2014 batch, I would advise choosing subjects you like and can score well in. Whether you want a class you can enjoy class yourself in or a class you can score easily in is up to you.
For me, I chose my happiness over my marks. My Geography marks are actually better than the rest but I didn't choose it because I knew if I took such a class, I'll end up having a nervous breakdown. I really hate Geography.
The only part I chose marks over happiness was for my Physics and Biology but even then it doesn't really count because I am fine with both but I just don't feel like failing science next year.
According to my tutor, I might find myself failing my maths next year because it needs to have "a strong foundation" which none of my subjects have. If my subjects were buildings, I built them all on the titanic.
Let's just see how everything works out next year.
Ciao!
