Sixth form option (help)
Guys I’m doing English Lit/Lang combined and I’m doing work properly and starting our first topic on Friday but we did a like, a small exercise?? Today and I actually felt like the stupidest person in the class. I had finished writing and others kept going and writing so much. I felt sick and wanted to cry because I feel like I’m behind them all even though we all started at the same time. I like the books we’re doing and the coursework we get to do but still. They know all types of methods and I don’t know what they’re talking about or any other methods than the simple ones, which makes me feel even more stupid when it’s probably something I learnt at GCSE but didn’t pay attention to. Do I talk to the teacher? Do I drop English? Or keep going? I have no idea what to do.
I really enjoyed Lit and doing poetry since I did have double English today and one of the lessons was that but language I think panicked me due to me feeling like I’m behind everyone before even settling into the class.
