A week in and I am still enjoying all of it. Except a having to drink a pint containing various alcoholic beverages, an oxo cube, a teaspoon of salt, a tablespoon of sugar, two teabags and, soy sauce and cornflakes. Suffice to say I was sick all numerous times and its kind of put me off ring of fire. In fact it makes me feel sick thinking about it.

The real work starts soon, which oddly I'm looking forward to. :scared:

@ Exige, Automotive > Aerospace :p
 
Quick update, things are going well, I've got to know some people on my course now so I'm not an outcast at lectures and such, went out Monday night although didn't do an awful lot except get to know folk.

Strangely though, I'm the only male of the group, all the lads on our course are either Asian (mostly Chinese) and sticking together with each other, or seem a little bit chavvish or set in their groups already. Basically we're the randoms who don't seem to particularly know many people, but I'm fine with that, nice folks 👍.
 
Quick update, first lecture starts in less then 7 hours and I'm still awake... however I am extremely organised with equipment to make up for it :lol:
 
Here's something hilarious, I may have buggered up my entire university career due to finance. :lol:

How have you managed that?

My first day back was a waste of time. The timetable is completely wrong as far as I can make out (impressive, seeing as I only have one subject this semester... WIN). I got the wrong room for the 9am lecture despite checking the official timetable website last night, and then the tutor didn't turn up for my midday seminar either, so I'm assuming the timetable was lying about it beginning this week too.
 
Had the first lecture today - an introductory one, if you like. All seems very interesting :) And now I'm off to IKEA so I can fill my small room with more large crap.

Wow, hardcore. When we played that, we ended up with a horrifying cocktail of Strongbow and um... some more Strongbow. What can I say? We like it rough.

About 5 minutes before enrollment, I realised I haven't actually.... applied for my loan over the summer.

:banghead:, that's beyond fail!


And talking of Fail, last year only 30% progressed to year 3! FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU.
 
I spent a good part of Saturday night hanging out with some friends at Grand Valley State and I couldn't believe how much the campus had changed since the last time I had been there. New buildings everywhere, and the most insane dorm setup I've ever seen.

The big FAIL at GV? Driving on the damn sidewalks to get to the dorms. I'm not kidding. Its the most ridiculous things I've seen. Also, the freshmen are young. Real young. Despite being and old bastard and dancing to Beyonce with some 18 year old girls, if I hadn't been paying attention, I'd have thought they were 15 like my sister.

*sigh*
 
There's been loads of new buildings put up since I visited Bangor Uni as well, although they all look nice. Good news is everyone seems really matture and polite (bar those who are excessively drunk) but they're often to focused chasing the opposite sex to bother anyone majorly.
