Top Knotch

I really love top knots at the minute. I prefer to wear it a bit looser, less of a knot, but the height is still there. I also took inspiration from the images above of the studded bracelet wrapped around the base and like to wear a headscarf wrapped around mine. They're so perfect for 'don't care' days...as well as the fact that I haven't had my hair cut for almost a year now. Why oh why when I ask to have an half an inch off the ends the hairdresser always seems to cut off three I will never understand.
Oh, and how awesome is this upside down french plait leading into a top knot? I will be spending a hefty amount of time perfecting that, you know, getting warmed up for French to begin again.

Speaking of French, I have a question regarding my choices for my language course this year. I've been contemplating what to do all day. So, I did AS French last year (Year 11) one year early.  I'm quite pleased with my B Grade result, however, I've been told that I will have to re-sit if I want an A Grade overall at the end of A2. Considering the subject is a language and I'm contemplating continuing with this after college, I really do want an A and I think with some hard work I could achieve it. The options I have are: begin A2 and hope for the best, do A2 and re-sit my AS in January, or repeat my AS year. I'm swaying towards re-sitting the whole year again but I really would love any advice! Merci.
