    But they don't interview, so it's solely dependent on your PS :erm:

    Nice!

    No interviews for me yet :sad:
    I'm sure you'll get some, Keele is being quite slow with giving out interviews this year apparently, and Southampton don't interview anyway.

    Which is sort of calming and unnerving at the same time :zomg:

    But I took German so I'm screwed

    Try doing a 45 mark English Literature essay in German, with quotes, without the book in front of you, in 270 words. FML

    German IS fun (at least the lessons with one of my teachers are )

    She plans to do a 5 minute starter, but we end up spending the whole 1hr 10 mins on it

    And even funnier - she's a vocab/grammar (nazi*), so when she gets pissed, if she thinks of a good word, she tells us to note it down somewhere

    * may be not so appropriate a word (even funnier, she's Austrian :giggle:)
