Such a terrible day.

Lyndsay

My day was so awful, I couldn't help but break down. We've started 2 GCSE assessments in school, and then I had to attend an open evening for college. Bearing in mind I have no idea about what I would like to be (career wise), I had to discuss a variety of courses and make rational decisions, which made me extremely anxious. Also, the open evening was absolutely heaving with people, music was blaring out of speakers and members of staff yelling through microphones...it was a nightmare! We decided to go to the event at 6.00, as I had a music lesson at 7.30...but before we knew it, it was 7.20 and I hadn't even gone to look at the courses I was interested in (which was the whole point of the evening). So then I became so anxious as I knew we were going to be late, and knew I needed to get out, which led me running to the car and sobbing to my parents. And also I missed my music lesson, which added more stress. I didn't think a day could be so awful. I apologize for clogging everyone up with my troubles, I just needed to vent!

  • hi Lindsay - your day sounds like a nightmare.  Have you had time to look at the courses in detail and time to discuss what you think you'd like to do?  It's important to get really good advice because the courses you take and the exams you take will set you on some sort of career path.  What do you enjoy doing/studying?  I think it's important to be able to pick subjects that you enjoy.  If you enjoy doing something then it's generally because you're really interested in it and/or good at it.  Perhaps you could have a talk to your teachers and get a bit more time to look at the information and ask questions, if you think that would be helpful.  Don't apologise for your post.  We all need to let things out sometimes.  bw
