Hmph!

Well, the stress this course has caused me is ridiculous. Last year, we started artefacts with Mr. Cullingford and Ms. Peddie. We spent a few weeks preparing and then one Tuseday, we were told to finish it. During the last 10 minutes, I was running to get a stapler when i got a foot injury and had to be rushed to A&E leaving my work, hanging in the drift. The school year was soon over and everything had been packed up to move to the other end of the school. The next year came around and I discovered sometime between the moving of the school and packing up of work, my artefact got lost. I decided to deal with it a bit later seeing as I was in the middle of science exams. A few weeks prior to this discovery we were told to create a music video, a piece of clothing, a script or a sculpture/painting. I chose a music video and after two weeks of planning I put aside a Saturday to film my video. I finished it and uploaded the tape. I spend a frustrating but apcomplished Tuesday putting together the film and editing it. At the end of the day I saved it onto the hard drive and vowed to put effects on the next lesson. I missed the next Tuesday but the next lesson we were sat down and told all of our work was due the next day. Obviously, I was worried seeing as my artefact was lost and I hadn't even finished my music video. So I decided to start straight away on my music video. But after two hours of searching I found out someone had lost all three diploma hardrives leaving another piece of MY vital coursework lost by the school. Two days after this second mistake made by the school, my mother got a call saying it would be best if I dropped the course because I was "under achieving"... my mum knew all the work they'd lost and was outraged along with me. It's quite funny really, because the examiners happen to be coming next week... hmm. All I know, is that I am completely swamped with English coursework, Maths coursework, Science GCSE revision and now a whole load of diploma work. But oh wait for it... its all due next week! How great is that? Two days to complete all of the above. Well, I should get started, I'll need all the time I can get. I think my opinions have really changed about this course. I loved it in year 10.
Now... I would advise NO ONE to take this course.
Until Next Time!
