[QUOTE=Kif;14031794]So I went into uni, and lo and behold, the workshop was canceled. Another fantastic job informing the students of how crap our timetable system is.

On a side note I bought Red Steel. Not sure if it was a good choice, but at least now I have something different to play besides Zelda (I have Wario, that that game just blows).[/QUOTE]

But why would they need to when their students have such an uncanny sense of precognition?

Played it yet? On the ads it looks a bit arcadey, which isn't necassarily a bad thing, but you expect better of consoles ... :-/ Still not played Wii, I want to though something awful :(

I CUT MY HAIR! =O

Took it back up to about my collar. Did two ponytails, then cut them off. Was just a case then of making it look like it hadn't just been done by someone with a penchant for setsquares

EDIT: Mastodon tickets arrived! :D

My old schoolmate's band. Just had a listen, listen to The End, 4 srs

Fu[size=2]ck[/size] >=[

He's lead guitar. It turns out occaisionally rumours back home about me go round, mostly about how I'm supposed to be outstanding at guitar. My sister just said that everyone thinks me and him should have a guitar-off at a gig, and that the general concensus is that I'd win

The hell? All of the 4 other guys in my band have heard me play :confused:

I don't particularly enjoy waiting in the rain for a bus, standing next to someone who smelt so bad like cigarettes because all the seats were taken, just to find out I could've had a lay in. I'm not in tomorrow or Thursday though (Well, I have a workshop on Thursday, but I haven't been all year since whenever I go it seems to be nothing happening).

So 6 day weekend ftw.

And I haven't played Red Steel yet. I still have craploads to do on Zelda (Read: Everything), and I have about 5 360 games I need to play. I think this is the first time I've truely had too many games for my own good!

Also we need before and after shots of Patrick's hair.

ok classic typo here

Kif, you finally got a Wii :O

I played the new Zelda t'other day. Being a huge zelda fanboy I want that game so bad :(

So i had a 3d design talk, and a Interior Design talk today, from the tutors about the courses, it looks like ill be going into 3d design, i liked the look of interior, but i think ill enjoy 3d more, and be better at it.

I'll fix you guys up soon :cool: it needs a tidy up a bit, but I'm back in leeds now and any before pics are back in Hudds

God Kif, have you seen the full GAIN line up? its awefull, and not even in manchester this year, its in Birmingham instead.

EDIT, i say awefull, Brand New, JEW, AFI (to an extent), hellogoodbye, MXPX maybe, would be cool to see.

OMG it snows :D :D :D

Friday and Sunday in Birmingham look awesome dude. I'm not too bothered about going if I can't find anyone else who will go though.

Its meh imo.

Im a fully fledge indie kid these days.

/looks down on slip on shoes tightish jeans and topman tee-shirt. :cool:

Punk, pop-punk, dosnt do it for me any more.

i like how you have to shop in topslop to be indie.

You dont have to be, im being stereotypical :rolleyes:

So for the past hour or so I've been looking at University courses.

I need to actually decide what to do with my life, looks like either Strathclyde, Glasgow Caley, Manchester or Newcastle i'ma going to.

What course you wanting to do?

EDIT: Beat :(

Computer and Electronic Engineering, or just Computer Engineering itself.

[QUOTE=Dead Star;14035832]Computer and Electronic Engineering, or just Computer Engineering itself.[/QUOTE]

I do Computer Science at Manchester.

It aint that bad.

Yeah, manchester is very good for computing, seeing as the worlds first computer was invented here.

But i know fuk all except art/design courses.

[QUOTE=fortyseven;14035843]I do Computer Science at Manchester.

What do you do etc?

[QUOTE=Dead Star;14035858]What do you do etc?[/QUOTE]

I'm in my first year, just finished my first semester. Before Christmas I had 25 hours a week in department doing 5 modules.

The modules were...
Object Orientated Java - Basically Java programming from the bottom up.
Mathematical Techniques for Computer Science - Discrete maths eg logic, bit of probability too (continued in 2nd semester)
A Computational Model - We study the ARM instruction set, basically learning to program in a much lower level language and understanding how the processor executes tasks using memory and registers.
The Underlying Machine - Introduction to computer design, it looks more at the hardware side of things, 3 box model, logic gates and stuff. Communications.
Group Project - starts off as ethicial issues and a case study, then you have an idea for a project, present it, and make it using PHP and MySQL. We've got to make it this semester.

There's a fair few lectures. We have lab sessions to accompany the OOJ, Comp Mod, UM and Group project. There's also like examples classes which are a bit more personal, and then theres a tutor session once a week for the group project.

Errr... There's a fair bit of work to do and stuff, but if you keep on top of it it's not that bad.

That's a detailed list of all the course units that you can do and things.

Anything in particular you want to know?

Oh yeh. It's not a course to score chicks either.

Although, Psychology do have lectures in out main lecture theater twice a week ;)

Wow, cheers for that.

What were the entry requirements like?

Wow, cheers for that.

What were the entry requirements like?

They'll ask you for an interview, I was offered AAB, they gave one of my friends ABB, but usually it's just the standard university offer.

They let me in with BBB in Maths, Physics and History. There was a 10% drop in applicants last year though.

The interview isnt that bad, they'll have a bunch of people, start with a buffet lunch, couple of talks, tour the department, back in to talk to students and things, take so many people at a time for the interviews. You'll probably get to meet some of the people off our social committee, 'cause we're cool kids! They'll drag at least 2 of the 5 first year girls down as well.

The interviews arent anything tricky, they might ask you questions, but they dont expect you to have a huge bank of knowledge already, they'll ask you about your A levels, what you think you'll get, why you chose Manchester, what programming experience you have (that's only for reference), why you chose the course etc.

I had some guy that talked to me about violins and I play bass guitar and saxophone...

You at Met?

I know a few girls that are doing art there :)

Yup, im doing art foundation there atm, so no loan, and my parents cant afford to pay my living costs to move out, so im commuting. I'm gonna specialise in 3d design at MMU though, live in halls there for a year, then see what happens.

Yeh, that's the problem one of the girls is having, she's doing a foundation but she cant afford to live here so she's back and forth.

The Met halls are pretty dire, but it's all about the experience really :)

I need to start looking for a house for next year. Not fun at all.
