Letters to Primavera ~ The Fifteenth One

15/9/15

Dear Primavera,

From now on, I will post letters one day late.

Today, the year nine population at my school were given an orientation of what options (also known as co-curricular classes) there are to choose from in year ten.

There are two option lines - the first one being the arts and the second being technologies - and each of the option teachers gave us clear overviews of what they teach year tens (I have to admit, all of the teachers made the options more exciting than they actually are - the power of promotion). Some of the courses last for a full year - such as languages and technologies - and some last for half the year - such as business studies and drama - unlike year nine, where all of the options last for two terms each.

I'm pretty quick and excited to choose options each year, so after school today I ranked the options from one to four - one being 'I WANT THIS' and four being 'meh, I wouldn't mind taking this - on each option line. For the first option line I ranked Spanish as first (obviously), music as second, dance as third and French as fourth. For the second option line I chose drama as first (they're doing SHAKESPEARE! I wouldn't pass that opportunity for something else!), computer science as second, food and nutrition for third and business for fourth - the rest of the options had to do with technology and art which I am poor at.

I'm already bursting with excitement for year ten - bring it on!

Yours sincerely,
A future year ten.
