So, it's finally begun. College and sixth form open days. There was one tonight I should have gone to, but missed. It was at a college I would have no chance of getting to every morning without moving nearby, since it takes about an hour and a half to get there. But it's where my cousins went, so my mum wants me to consider it. Then tomorrow night is my current school's. I want to stay at this school, although I hate it. I'd rather at least know what I'm doing, instead of being like a lost little kid again. On Wednesday, there are two; one for a college that will take you whatever grade you get, and one for a sixth form centre that don't do proper A-levels. I decided to go to the one that will take me whatever my grades, as I'm doing so badly at school right now. Then there's one right at the end of the month, for a nearby school which everyone says is crap but will have to be my second choice, since my mum thinks I'll get a better education there. I don't know why she doesn't let me decide for myself. It's me who has to be educated there, after all. Still, if I hate it, I can drop out after the first year. That's got to be a positive.
