The physics dept at the uni hold lectures every other tuesday evening on "interesting" stuff. Lol, but the Xmas one is the best one and we get loadsa biscuits! hehe! THough its in the evening at like 7 or something.

Are you going to be one of the guides down at Lapworth Museum or something? I think that's where it starts the "tour". lol.

Lol...Damnit! I thought they'd quite appreciate that. i'm thinking more along the lines of, going into my garden and digging up a "nice rock" and taking it in and being like, "o..this rock...it's my favourite...its...brown...and...smooth...and...i named it...Browny?" No? That could either freak them out, or they'll love me! :p:

you are a geologist, right? i don't expect you will be going on many expeditions without dying then? :wink:

Hehe. I know...it's kinda scarey at the same time...but it's something I've always wanted to do and never got the chance to....so...why not?! As long as it doesnt all go over my head...I guess I'll be okay.

Lol...I WAS going to go in engineering...structural though, but I suck at maths and dropped it. :frown:

I'm going on the Joint Honours one on the 18th I think? Can't remember off of the top of my head...

I'm going on the 18th as well, and now I'm a bit worried that I'll hate Birmingham and realise that I don't have anywhere else to go. And fail all my exams, but that's a separate issue.

I really liked it, until they told me I HAD to do my dissertation in Politics and not History, and so I have gone right off it.

the inside of the station (i.e. where you'd get out to buy your tickets) has all these easy to read lcd screens with train info. i think that most the trains will be going to either longbridge or redditch, the uni is only two stops from new street.
