Jim Hull 09-01-2004 01:00 AM

Hmm. how old are you jim? your first year of university?

Jim Hull 09-01-2004 01:07 AM

Yep first year. I'm 18. So you're starting college? How old does that make you because I get confused with education systems out side the UK? :lol:

PaulR 09-01-2004 01:25 AM

Yep - they're weird - i'm 16 and people my age are going to college.
They should make a universal education system.

im 18

college in america = university in england. ;)

PaulR 09-01-2004 01:33 AM

I still have 3 days left.
But I have to go in tomorrow for an interview. I should be in, I only failed French (got a D).
I'm a little annoyed though cos my school won't run the music tech course I wanted to do. Theres only one place in my area that does it and I don't want to leave the school i'm currently at for just one course.

Jim Hull 09-01-2004 03:13 AM

Good luck with your interview.

popinfresh 09-01-2004 03:20 AM

14 pages allready? :eek:

I've been playing and practicing and playing and practicing and playing with my 3 bands. One, for the talent quest friday (two days, doing ytse into tommy the cat, into country music :p ) another for a thing at a Uni next wednesday. Now my fingers are like caloused upon caloused. But it's all good, my fingers are even stronger than before, and they were strong... Chicks dig it :naughty:

Alma 09-01-2004 03:50 AM

good luck with that dude

Muadip 09-01-2004 04:32 AM

I'm curius :) What do you study at your college/university??? I'm thinking of appling for music courses next year.. just need piano lessons first though :(

xxxwookie 09-01-2004 05:31 AM

Man, I'm in the wars at the moment. Coming out of the beer cellar last night, I stood up too fast and smacked my head off the ceiling (People in the bar heard it!), leaning down to pick something up, I bashed my head off the corner of the till shelf, walking down the stairs at home I slipped because the carpet has been taken up and the place is a little dusty and my foot went straight into one of the uprights on the bannister and I've bruised 3 of my toes and the killer, this morning I was making breakfast and I've burned my finger which is preventing me from playing * waits for the next incident*

ooh, frost bite from the ice packs!

On the university conversation, I go back on the 25th for my 3rd year, although I'd much like to go back sooner. An ex-student has prepared a small presentation for the 14th which I'd like to go to, but I can't get in touch with accomodation services to open up my accomadation early so I have to miss that and miss out on a lot of potential lab time which I need because my 1 year project needs to be done before xmas... Stress bucket! I study Biology and criminology dual honours

... no i don't want to go into forensics and criminology/biology doesn't give me any insight into forensics (although I've learned some techniques such as PCR and southern blotting DNA tests in Biology). Just to clear that up, everybody asks

Prospects... I would like to do a masters and a Phd focusing onparasitology. My project this year in biology is focussed on mosquito immune responses to malaria. It's all good fun

Wintermute 09-01-2004 05:56 AM

I'm off to Uni soon too - B.Eng in Sound Engineering at Glamorgan. It's part studio work and such, part electronics and so on. I'm going to apply to switch to the M.Eng if it goes well.

Only had this confirmed yesterday and I'm going in a few weeks!

xxxwookie 09-01-2004 06:00 AM

Good luck dude :thumb: Do you want to install my pickups for me?! :D

Wintermute 09-01-2004 06:03 AM

In 3-5 years time, yes. :)

Jim Hull 09-01-2004 06:09 AM

If I need any help with electronics I coming to you wintermute!

I am studying BSc Computer Games Science - just like computer science but chucks out java programming and databases and replaces them with c++ and 3D graphics.

Wintermute 09-01-2004 06:34 AM

Hey, once I actually know what I'm doing I'll be more than happy to help out.







For a fee... :)

Wintermute 09-01-2004 06:44 AM

Hmm. Just downloaded Yahoo Messenger. It demands a zip code of me, and won't accept my postal code.

Someone post a valid zip code so that I can lie to it and get on.

Wintermute 09-01-2004 06:49 AM

ocdrumandbass 09-01-2004 06:50 AM

twopelu 09-01-2004 07:00 AM

I have done my first exam of September. Ive studied a lot for it. I will surely pass it cause I was pretty self confident.

Computers Engineering, I hate you but I love you!

school system in america
preschool( daycare with little education)(not required)
kindergarten( prepares kids to be taught first grade stuff)( you learn colors,spelling and numbers)
first through six grade school( learn reading writing math science and history
7-8 more of the same but more advanced( sometimes called middle school or junior high)
9-12 high school( lockers, prety girls, crap food as always oh and I think your supposed to learn something too. numbers can vary in groupings as well

then college the cullmination of our education yay.
