DS has three exams in 24 hours this week - last geography, history and govt & politics papers in that order, finishing on Thursday afternoon. Thinking he might have taken his foot off the pedal rather revision-wise. Not sure he's keeping up the same momentum of a couple of weeks ago...
Just got him to apply for a couple of casual summer jobs, although he didn't run his completed CV or covering letter by me before emailing them through. He has done some work experience (and volunteered for about six months for DofE) but no 'proper' paid work. For those of you whose DC have applied for summer jobs (but haven't worked before), who have they used as references - long-term family friend in position of authority? A teacher? Would they still have details about him at the place he volunteered (it was September to April of Year 10 when he did it)?
As an aside from talk of exams, we've just had to rescue one of our kittens - she got stuck behind one of the drawers in the sideboard. She got in but couldn't extract herself...
Operation bedroom clear-out is going to be top of the post exams list of 'to dos'. He's supposed to be going on holiday with his mates but it all seems a bit up in the air. Maybe he will focus once Thursday is over and done with.
Hope no-one has experienced any issues getting to/from school with the horrendously heavy rain that's been continuous for the past 18-20 hours. I fear some areas will flood if it continues unabated.
