Ha, it is a stupid Wembley stadium :P It's about 3.20 for a pint at the Liberty. Gone up from last year as well. I will cry if you inflate the prices especially for me :P

Trust me, I'm gutted I'm not doing it as well lol. Although I plan to be around the department as much as I can, I have a real interest in it. I'll sit in lectures when I can. So still someone to have a rant about Wembley too if you want :P ha :smile:


Crocodile tears won't work on me I'm afraid :wink:

Did you have a look around the Meteorology dept on the open day? I absolutely loved the look of it. Every Friday the department gets together to discuss the weather, I'm such a geek :biggrin: . I'm sure you'll do fine on the foundation year and then you will be a regular feature next year! I would rather not talk about Wembley, my memories of that dump are not pleasant!

I haven't been on an official open day. I went up there on my own to look at it. And I liked :smile: Ahh...in a whole two weeks you will be with other geeks who like talking about the weather :P how great will that be :P haha. I can understand not having fond memories of there :P I'm sorry for any Wembley digs you may get off me in the future lol

I really liked it too, was so laid back in the Met dept! Seemed really close-knit as well. Aha you will be sorry I can assure you =P
And for us on the Meteorology course this year we have been incredibly lucky. They lowered the requirements for this year to AB in Maths & Physics, but they are now back up to AA!

why met at reading stood out for me.
1/. on the general open day, I was mobbed by a very excited under grad, who gave me a tour of the labs and the kites.
2/. its the only uni with a specialist dept
3/. it has ducks
4/. the way they described the balcony as an 'elevated outdoor instrument testing area'.
5/. The way they ring the bell for the friday seminar!
and most importantly...

they fed me cookies!
:biggrin:

I will slowly edge my cloud spotters guide out of sight so you can't see it and cover the shelf of met books....
I admit, I'm a geek.

Yeah i saw about the grades! I was panicing enough with 3 b's, then i blew myself away, opened the results and laughed at myself, and edinburgh for rejecting me. XD

Haha, I remember the bit in bold, that amused me :smile:

I was nearly killed when they let off the weather ballon, the instrument box very nearly hit my head.

Feb 15th I think it was :smile:

Looking forward to meeting you guys!
I'm applying for the masters in meteorology and climate with a year in Oklahoma and I only applied yesterday. How long did it take for them to send you an offer and what sort of grades are you guys predicted?
