Needs more stealth elephant.
S'triff, though.

And congratulations.

I think
...Wales has a University. I should know, I created the Welsh nation in 2001.

It does,
I'm still waiting to hear from Cardiff.

Don't get your hopes up
When I applied the guy was off on holiday so they didn't update my offer until after the closing date for when you have to decide which you take!

Leeds and Exeter so far!
And what's more is that they're both for low grades!
Thanks :)

fuck elephants

Choose Leeds,
it's further North, and therefore better.
( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 21:56, archived)

It's going to be my first choice.
Without a doubt.
( the_rhyme_minister needs a DJ name, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 21:57, archived)

And...
...I work there.

Wait, why would you care about that?

Oh well that seals it.
Don't cry, I'll come visit you, maybe. Who knows...
( the_rhyme_minister needs a DJ name, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:10, archived)

Aw you big smeg.
I'm still waiting for an answer from Leeds, but they want me to go for an open day thing.

Had offers from Edinburgh, York and Salford though! :D

Congratulations btw. :)

Congrats to you too.
I didn't submit my UCAS untill the 19th so these are my first offers.
What are you going to do?
( the_rhyme_minister needs a DJ name, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:00, archived)

I'm doing physics hopefully.
So the entry requirments are fairly low, 'cause no one really likes physics. :D

How about you?

Ah, sorry, didn't see that.
Sounds good though!
(Incredibly Ordinary Dave stole the cookie from the cookie jar., Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:07, archived)

Haha, I did Physics at Manchester and they paid me £1,500.
Because noone really likes physics.

Ooo, awesome!
I'll have to try and get something like that sorted then. :p

It was very kind of them.
I think I spent it on beer in the first year.

Hahaha.
Well I can't think of anything better to buy, to be honest. :p

I lived one small staircase away from the halls bar,
I never stood a chance.

I think Leeds want to pay me
because I'm going to be the first person in my family to go to Universtiy.

Congratulations on your crab.
Oh, and on the university offers.

Depending on where and what you've been offered, of course.

Leeds and Exeter so far!
And this is the best bit; Leeds offered me BBB and Exeter offered me BCC for Biological sciences and Biochemistry respectably!
( the_rhyme_minister needs a DJ name, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 21:57, archived)

I won't pretend to understand any of that.
It's a while since I was in your position, and the Scottish education system is slightly different.

I have a friend at Leeds University! I must introduce you to each other.*

* I have a Facebook friend at Leeds University, I met him in 2006 while we were travelling. I haven't seen him since then, and I have no intention of introducing you to each other.
( The Hedgehog From Hell lalalalala, I can't see you, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:02, archived)

Haha that made me do an actual arf!
I've got to get the grades first. No easy feat in Chemistry Biology Physics and Maths. Well I'm finding it hard at least.
( the_rhyme_minister needs a DJ name, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:04, archived)

I did the same, but Philosophy instead of Biology.

( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:05, archived)

I got five Bs in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Maths and English
but that was Highers in Scotland, rather than A-levels.

The annoying thing was that I was expecting to get at least 3 As, and I was within 5% of an A in each exam. It was disappointing at the time, because it made it more difficult to do my first choice of degree. So I did something else instead.

What I'm trying to say is: don't be downhearted if your plans seem to fail, there will be plenty of other options available to you.

Sage advice, thanks!
Did it all work out in the end?
( the_rhyme_minister needs a DJ name, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:13, archived)

Well...
I originally wanted to do medicine, but by the time I was 16 I was going off the idea anyway because it looked like too stressful an occupation.

So I did pharmacy instead. I've been qualified for 10 years, and I desperately want to do something else with my life. Plus, I have genuinely proved that I was an idiot if I thought that being a pharmacist was going to be less stressful.

I may have just undermined my previous encouragement, but fuck it. I'll just try not to go into a rant about how much fucking pressure I'm under every day, and how little you pathetic cunts in the general public appreciate it.

Hey, pipe down and get me my pills.

( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:23, archived)

Yes, sir.
Sorry to keep you so long. Would you like a paper umbrella in your methadone?
( The Hedgehog From Hell lalalalala, I can't see you, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:25, archived)

No, just a plastic elephant today please.
I'll be working in the NHS come September, so I expect I'll share your level of despression and unfulfillment.
( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:27, archived)

at least you've already resigned yourself to it.
That's the wisest way to start.

what's "despression"?
( The Hedgehog From Hell lalalalala, I can't see you, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:30, archived)

if anyone asks, it's a medical term known only to us professionals. It has nothing to do with poor spelling
( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Sat 12 Jan 2008, 22:31, archived)

There's always Leeds Met.
I got into BSc Computing with a B and a C. And one of those was General Studies... This was 1998 tho. A Levels were harder back then.

I haven't had a university offer in years
I am lucky if I can get a night school offer these days.

But then again, I don't have the energy I used to.
