Home Stay and Subjects

This was meant to be posted 2 nights ago, but it didn't actually send so it didn't happen yesterday if that makes any sense...

Rats. I really REALLY dislike rats. Last night we went on a home stay with locals in the village. We were paired up with a second year (I was with Trisha from India) and walked to various villages along our route. The people were lovely and the food was amazing (better than college food!), however I don't think I slept at all. There must have been about 10 rats, just running up and down the wooden beams above our bed (a table) and dropping onto the metal pans in the opposite corner of the room. At one point as I was just dosing off, one of them knocked one of the pans off and I woke up again, and just watched them for about 4 hours straight. I also forgot to bring mosquito repellent so literally got eaten alive. 

Today, I have academic interviews where I will decide which subjects I want to try out and I will get the results of a (extremely hard) maths test we did which will pretty much decide which level of maths I will be doing. At the moment, I'm thinking about global politics, english & performance, maths, biology, chemistry and spanish, however i'm not sure about global politics yet.

  1. When you were four you had 2 pet rats. I hated them. Maybe spiders will not seem so bad now. Love Mum.xxxx
