English Literature, Language and History A-Levels- here I come!

I know that I am definitely going to be studying English Literature, English Language and History when I arrive at college on Monday. Even though I know that it is going to be really hard work, I am looking forword to it!

I'm not quite sure exactly what we will be studying, except that I think it will be poetry, a novel and a play for English Lit. and the 20th Century for History.

My personal goals for the end of September to the 31st October are:
  • Catch up on all missed work (I'm three weeks behind!)
  • Find out when any assignments are due in and if necessary, negotiate at new date with the lecturer.
  • Buy or borrow any books for the course.
  • Revise the Maths handouts and practice them.

Yesterday my Mum and I visited Bristol's City Museum. I love the gypsy caravan as it is just so beautiful. It is amazing how anyone could live in such a small space. I would love to know how they did it! Also there was an exhibition on Eastern art and ceramics and porcelain. There were two small bowls. They were white with hidden dragons on them. I think that I saw them on the side...well, there was something on the side! I think that the dragons had to be hidden because only the Emperor and his family were allowed them.

When I arrived home I decided to research:

  • Karl Marx
  • Alexander the Great
  • Hamlet

When I have more time, I'll try and post the snippets of information that I found.
