Looking at the threads about going to university and college, I am reminded of my own A Levels and the day I got int university. Actually I remember how terrible my grades were and how lucky I was to be offered a place. So it got me thinking of how interesting those A Levels were. Except for DT - I wouldn't touch that ever again - I would love to go back and spend 2 years being taught - free of charge! - my A level maths and physics classes again. I hated school, but the subjects... why did I find them so boring? Maths, for instance, seems brilliant! Like number puzzles on steroids. Physics is a huge subject but so, so interesting. Computing was okay, but nothing I couldn't teach myself in my spare time. No, if I could I would love to go back to college full-time and study A level maths and physics again, not to change my grades but because I'd find them so interesting and rewarding.

Is there anything that you have done or learned in the past that you would love to go back and study again? Not to change grades, but because you realise now how fun and interesting it is? And a word to all those who are still currently studying for your AS or A2 levels - by Christ make sure you realise how interesting it is. You have plenty of time for messing about with mates once you get to university as year 1 means nothing to your final grade, so study, study, study and enjoy doing it, because unless you get rich enough to take a 2 year sabbatical and pay for college before your brain turns to mush, you'll never get the chance again and you might look back like me one day.
