My best option

Overall, Im in a bit of a rut. Ive got no experience at a vet clinic or a farm and my AS levels didnt go to plan (AABD).Glasgow is definitely out (i think an A in chemistry w/o retakes is compulsory), liverpool has a huge emphasis on work experience (10 weeks in total i believe). Cambridge, despite its lax requirement on work experience, is a bit funny about retakes so thats probably a no. I could probably go on, im not an ideal candidate and id like your honest opinions please.

Take a year out, do some work experience, some resits, don't apply to Cambridge, and have a crack at 4 of the others, then. You can't expect to apply to vetsci without work experience at any farms or vets.

This.

Glad I have your approval, fellow admin Diss.

edit: 7 days!!! 12 for me. Daaaamn so close now (I know I've been saying this like clockwork every week since like August lulz but no really how damn close is it now!) You'll get a good 5 days exploring bristol then before everyone else moves in then. You can show me round

Dude, I knoooow. I'm trying not to freak out. Got our booklet thang, and I'm shocked at how much of a social life the vets seem to have with so many things to learn. And so many things to buy! My parents will kill me You getting the 3 year gym membership in the end?

By the time you come I'll have made friends with all the locals and will have taught them basic greek, know the best pubs with the cheapest booze, and will have started adopting the accent.

No, haven't seen Hot Fuzz, I'll youtube it.

I need: white/green coveralls for Animal management.
standard wellies (the ones I have now constrict blood circulation)
rubber gloves
paddlock
steel capped wellies
waterproof leggings & top

Whenever I did farm work they provided me with all of these, but there's a shop recommended in the handbook, I'll have to check it out there.

Ah I see. Yeah I need a few of those aswell. Glad you got your booklet at last btw

Me too, I actually shooed away my friend so I could read it

I youtubed Hot Fuzz, it looks hilarious, it's from the same people that made Shaun of the Dead looolll, I'm looking for a site to stream it from as a night night movie. The only way I can sleep these days is if I'm watching something from my PC, otherwise I tend to think too much and get restless.

It is reeeaally funny, and very similar to Shaun of the Dead in the way that it's got loads of little witty comments and quirky bits that you can miss if you're not careful. Virtually every line is hilarious in some ironic/pun/sarcastic way lulz. Plus it's the same two people, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
