New PC! GCSE Options!

Phew, it's been a hectic day!

First, I got my GCSE Options booklet from School! Here are the options I have:

Compulsory courses in:

• Maths
• English & English Literature
• Double Science
• ECDL ICT (European Computer Driving License - Basic stuff like using word processors etc.)

I also have to take non-tested courses in:

• Religious Education (Philosophy etc.)
• Physical Education (I'm rubbish at PE!)
• Personal Development
• Citizenship
• Careers

And the options...

• Art & Design
• Business Studies
• Dance
• Design & Technology - includes
1. Systems & Control (Robotics etc.)
2. Textiles
3. Resistant Materials (Woodwork, Metalwork etc.)
4. Food Technology
5. Graphics
• Drama
• Geography
• German
• Health & Social care
• History
• Home economics
• Advanced ICT
• Music
• Physical Education
• Religious Studies
• Spanish
• French

Out of those, I have to choose four as options. At the moment, I'm thinking of ICT, Geography, Systems & Control & Business Studies. We have a load of meetings and parents-evenings to go to before I actually choose, but I think they're the best for me.

In other news...

My computer broke again! I've decided to buy a new one now though! Hooray for cheap PCs! For £250, I got:

• AMD Sempron64 3400+ processor
• 512MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM
• 80Gb HDD (the one I already have)
• 128Mb onboard Graphics (I'll shop around for a better one)

And a load more...
It should be arriving in 3-10 working days, and I'm going to download a 64-bit Linux distro before then, and maybe 'acquire' Windows XP x64 editon from somewhere...

Phew! And an even longer blog! I hope you didn't get bored...
