Amy's Week

Amy started back for her final semester of Year 12 this week. One week down and around 15 to go! It was a relatively easy week this week, which helped ease her back into the routine. Amy has dropped maths and picked up another history, so all going well she will end up with a major in History, English, Chemistry and Biology and a minor in Maths. She has the same teacher for English and her two History Classes- Roman History and Early British History, so she is happy as he is a great teacher. She has a new teacher for Biology and is already having interesting arguments with him and enjoying it- he is an atheist and she is doing Evolution and Biology and Amy is not afraid to express her opinions. Chemistry she says is okay but again she has a great teacher which makes all the difference, so at least this term is starting off on a positive note! She has one class on Tuesday morning and a late start on Thursday which means she can have a sleep in with full days the other days.

On Monday night we sat down and came up with a list of options for next year which included:
- Arts Degree in History and ANU ( not sure if she will get high enough marks to get into ANU)
- Vet Nurse Course at CIT
- Gap Year- get a job and work
- Public Service as Year 12 graduate ( no idea how easy or hard this would be)
- Customs Dog Handler ( have since found out requires physical fitness test so would require a lot of effort on someones behalf to get fit!)

Then later in the week I was looking on the University of Canberra website to see if they offered an Arts Degree- they don't have the traditional arts degree but you can do a Bachelor of Arts in Museum Studies but the one the did raise some interest for Amy was a Degree in Cultural Heritage Conservation- where you learn how to conserve artifacts- photos, books, artworks, sculpture etc, so that is now another option.

At least we have a bit of a starting point and somethings to go look at at the open days for ANU, CIT and UC coming up at the end of the month!
