GYBE are genious.

I've been bingeing on Katatonia lately. Lovely dark and groovy swedish metal.

But yeah, you do know there is an intense ammount of coursework for History? :p[/QUOTE]
Yeah it's 45% or something. I'm willing to do it.

GY!BE was, on first contact with WMP, labelled as Neo-Classical/Post-Rock, and I have to give it credit for trying. They are a unique brand of instrumental Post-Rock, and they consist primarily of a tactic of slow builds and releases over long periods of time. Sometimes they have monolouges. The music is often very stark, dark, and their albums tend to have an underlying atmosphere of unpleasantness, or rather discomfort, that can result in very terrifying moments and moods.

Brilliant stuff.

Since we're sortof on topic.

Do politics at A level if your teacher is good.

Avoid Maths, its hard.

IAJP 11-16-2005 01:11 PM

Yeah, I'm in top set maths, and you only need a 20 out of 100 to get a C.

A 20, a ****ing 20 for christ's sake.

Jev 11-16-2005 01:12 PM

I don't know about Maths, there's nothing else I want to do. If it's diffuicult, I'll give it up after the first year.

If you're taking a Science (Chemistry, in your case) it's really best to take two, as they support each-other.

Do politics if you want to write huge essays and remember loads of facts.

Do maths if you CBA to learn loads of stuff, since most of it can be derived from other simple equations.

I did both and found Maths to be a lot easier in the long run, was also less stressful...

Don't do Physics.

I got an E, which was fine by me.

Hey, I'm doing that at uni y'know!

[QUOTE=ashman]Hey, I'm doing that at uni y'know![/QUOTE]

Fair enough.

I like some aspects of Physics, but the AS course I did put me off wanting to go anywhere near the subject ever again.

Yeah, it put me off aswell, but I marched on.

It got interesting as soon as we started Fields and then did some Quantum in A2.

IAJP 11-16-2005 02:18 PM

Uni sounds great, is it good?

ashman 11-16-2005 02:25 PM

[QUOTE=IAJP]Uni sounds great, is it good?[/QUOTE]

Depends, I don't like it personally. I've heard it's good if you stay at the halls of residence, but since I live in a flat, I don't really assiociate much with the other students.

Brew 11-16-2005 02:30 PM

Uni sounds expensive.

I was having a fun arguement with a friend yesterday about how I'm going to end up being a bum with spinning colour wheels if I get a Masters Degree in Fine Art, and how he'll end up being a nerd with lots of useless robots if he gets a Masters Degree in Robotics.

ashman 11-16-2005 02:57 PM

It is really expensive, especially when you're paying £50 for textbooks and uni is grabbing money at every opportunity.

IAJP 11-16-2005 03:08 PM

That sounds pretty sucky.

What are you studying again?

ashman 11-16-2005 03:12 PM

[QUOTE=IAJP]That sounds pretty sucky.

Physics with Astrophysics...

IAJP 11-16-2005 03:14 PM

Cool, what do you want to do in the future?
I mean, a degree in Physics of any sort is highly commendable isn't it?

ashman 11-16-2005 03:21 PM

Yeah apparently, at the moment I'm at a crossroads in my life, I've got 3 directions to go; 1) Stay at uni, get degree and become a theorthetical physicist at CERN, 2) Go into band promotion, since I promote my own rock night and I enjoy it or 3) Quit uni, get a job to tide me over until I'm 21 so then I can apply for my Bar License and then open a Bar in Leeds or Sheffield with a friend.

Wow, I just finished the single player demo of that F.E.A.R. game, and I can find no better way to describe what I'm feeling than with a good old fashioned HOLY SHI[color=black]T[/color]. That game seriously f***s with your mind, especially the parts where you suddenly can't control the course of events. There was one specific hallway that really messed me up. I'm freaked out.

ashman 11-16-2005 03:43 PM

I've heard that games good, if I had the pennies I'd go and buy it.

IAJP 11-16-2005 03:55 PM

That was a weird crash :confused:

[QUOTE=IAJP]That was a weird crash :confused:[/QUOTE]
Huh what? Explain.

And ashman, anyone that's ever mentioned F.E.A.R. so far has said that it's excellent.

ashman 11-16-2005 04:09 PM

Oops double post :confused:

I might get FEAR in the January sales :p

AND, the extra "maybes" are:

Government and Politics,
English Literature.


Debate on how good / bad my descisions seem to you..[/QUOTE]

Those are girls' subjects.

[QUOTE=SpectrumGuitarist]You know what? I hate to be completely off-topic, but today, I just can't seem to get over how freaking amazing Godspeed You! Black Emperor are. Completely freaking genius music. Oh man.[/QUOTE]

I bought "Lift yr Skinny Fists", its amazing. If you're not gonna buy it I'll rip it for you and YSI it.

A career at Cern is guaranteed be to a fulfilling one. Plus, you can live in Der Schweiz.

PHysics with astrohpysics sounds great. I'm gonna aply for "Physics with maths" at Cambridge enxt year, and probably maths or physics at York.

The others i dunno.
