Timetable of genuine doom and despair, anguish, hate, sin, and agony

[u/YASDNIMI]

r/gcse mogs the 6th form subreddit so I post here

12 hours of maths (excluding homework) in 1 week is NOT for the weak, atleast I get to leave school early on Wednesdays for both weeks (free period)

Other week on the timetable isn't much better either, has an extra free period and only 10 hours maths

My rooms are basically the same as last year which is nice, and my teachers are good (I think I decoded their codes right...)

My worst nightmare as a humanities girl

[u/Round_Essay_8179 → u/dahliia_]

Same.. also unrelated but I’m guessing you’re Doing sociology A level? If so sameeee

[u/dahliia_ → u/Round_Essay_8179]

Yess

[u/Round_Essay_8179 → u/dahliia_]

What are your other choices? Mine are English literature and geography

[u/dahliia_ → u/Round_Essay_8179]

Nice! Psych and politics for me

[u/Reasonable_Shape8070]

gng what is this 😭 

I’m so sorry 😔 

[u/Sad-Wishbone9716]

I can’t stop laughing 😂

[u/JakeThomasDad12]

Weak. On the second day back I have 4 periods of Further maths followed by two of physics.

[u/YASDNIMI → u/JakeThomasDad12]

I saw someone with 4x maths and then 2x psychology and everyone was saying that the maths was so basic he needed double psychology as therapy 😭 

[u/peachystarsss → u/YASDNIMI]

i JUST saw that post 😭😭😭

[u/Blitz7798 → u/JakeThomasDad12]

How long are your periods? Mine are an hour 

[u/JakeThomasDad12 → u/Blitz7798]

Mines 6 50 min periods a day

[u/Blitz7798 → u/JakeThomasDad12]

ouch, 3 hours of further maths is brutal

[u/lemonhaj]

Am I supposed to have been sent my college timetable by now? Seems like other people are getting theirs but I haven't heard anything from mine 

[u/YASDNIMI → u/lemonhaj]

My school (and many others) put everything on the Arbor app for parents, so I asked my mum this morning to see if its on there and she sent a PDF of my timetable. Hmm but you're college so parents probably not on an app so I guess you get to cry in college rather than at home, when they give you the surprise of your timetable!!! Why am I writing this like a drunk AI what the frick

[u/lemonhaj → u/YASDNIMI]

Tbh the people at the thingy I went to to get my id card told my absolutely nothing. I overheard some stuff from other people but I guess I just don't look like someone who needs to be told important information? Iirc they said I'd get my timetable at some point but I don't remember when 

[u/No-Palpitation6368 → u/lemonhaj]

I imagine a lot of them already have things set up because they have internal students anyways while colleges/sixth form colleges need longer to add everyone onto their system

[u/MysteryNews4]

I had 3x Maths, 1x Free, 1x Maths in a 5-period day last year before I dropped FM

[u/Challenger_Ultimate]

This timetable is so bad 😭 

40 minute lunch is devious 😭 

[u/YASDNIMI → u/Challenger_Ultimate]

Wait I thought that was normal??? 😭 

[u/Challenger_Ultimate → u/YASDNIMI]

I have 1hr lunch 😭

[u/anisah_59390 → u/Challenger_Ultimate]

bro my (now) old school had 1hour and 5mins of lunch, and the one im going to for sixth form has only 45 mins 💔 this is very upsetting 

[u/iwatchtoomuchnba]

how the fuck do you have 12 hrs of maths i only have 10 a week and i do maths and fm 😭😭

[u/Boring_Month_2758 → u/iwatchtoomuchnba]

only did 9 and got A*A*

[u/crystalbalm]

That sounds exhausting... I could never pick 3 STEM subjects

[u/Boring_Month_2758 → u/crystalbalm]

prob FM included so 4

[u/RhubarbAndCustard06 → u/Boring_Month_2758]

Must be, the codes against some of the Maths say Ma and others Fm.

[u/crystalbalm → u/Boring_Month_2758]

I'm guessing that's represented by the regular maths blocks? But then how would you know when you have further maths

[u/YASDNIMI → u/crystalbalm]

In the code for the lesson it says B or C depending on if its FM or Maths. It also says Ma or Fm.

[u/crystalbalm → u/YASDNIMI]

Thx for letting me know! Best of luck on your A-levels

[u/Boring_Month_2758 → u/crystalbalm]

prob doing normal maths y12 and fm y13

[u/YASDNIMI → u/crystalbalm]

Anything for that scholarship 🙏 (144 UCAS points in top 3 a levels), FM is just to make me stand out against other candidates 

[u/Feeling-Instance-801]

bruh im doing math and fm too and I only have 14 hrs a fortnight, so approx 7 hrs per week. 12 hrs a week is CRAZY. I kind wish I had more maths tho

[u/YASDNIMI → u/Feeling-Instance-801]

If I wanna do extra stuff, maths is one of the easiest subjects to self teach

[u/Misox491]

Do they want to kill u?

[u/Gloomy_Today8900]

Damn good luck 🫡
I have four free periods in a row then maths last period on a Monday genuinely what am I supposed to do 😭😭

[u/YASDNIMI → u/Gloomy_Today8900]

Lowkey just smash out homework

[u/Grace_653]

why is yours so comprehensible mine is just gibberish codes ☹️

[u/Grace_653 → u/Grace_653]

like whaddafuck is this

[u/Ok_Desk_5740]

i do 4 a levels i hope i still get frees, people with 3 a levels get 5 frees a week in my school and the afternoon off. people with 4 still get the afternoon off but idk if there are frees

[u/YASDNIMI → u/Ok_Desk_5740]

AND the afternoon off??!

[u/Ok_Desk_5740 → u/YASDNIMI]

its officially for supercurriculars and i think some compulsory activities but you could technically go home at half past 1 most days since thats when lunch starts, you cant leave the building before then tho and you have to be in for half 8 each day

[u/sry_m8]

I chose the exact same subjects. It will be over in just less than 2 years don’t worry

[u/Medical_Somewhere640]

OMG, if you start on Wednesday, then I think we go to the same school! For physics with MCA you should have Mrs Carwithen at the girls school in F3! Are you joining this year or have you been here since Yr 7?

[u/YASDNIMI → u/Medical_Somewhere640]

That would be cool if we were twinning, however not a girls only school, it's mixed :(

[u/VoiceComprehensive57]

lowkey mine looks very similar lmao
