    Of course not. All uni students welcome.

    Your 2nd semester starts late. A lot of unis seemed to start last week or the week before.
    I know people who don't start back til 6th of February :lolwut:

    OK. I will. They say they're not sure how many people they need in it at this stage but I'll increase my chances by actually turning up, right?

    I have to go to the doctor in the morning though ... I don't want to still be in pain at the audition in case it hinders my chances. Thanks for the encouragement

    :yy: :yep: Best to go and show some interest and see how everything works.

    I'm finally conquering my musical dreams by doing some DJ-ing, having a radio show, and starting my band - things that I've always wanted to do!

    ****'s sake. Exam tomorrow and I'm just too tired to actually comprehend the questions on the past papers so I'm making stupid mistakes again and again. To make me feel worse, it's probably my easiest module...

    OMG good for you!! DJ-ing looks hard. Radio sounds soooo fun but I hate my speaking voice.

    There is a girl in one of my tutorials, she's Scottish as well but her accent is so throaty and sexy. I'm as straight as an arrow but I looooove her voice. I love the radio

    Wish I had the talent to start a band. Seeee, you're living your musical dreams and I'm becoming a thespian :awesome:

    This would actually be me if wasn't for that the fact that I still have Management/Business lectures because of the Business School having their reading week at a different time (the end of term). This means that I actually get two reading weeks! :awesome: (well two halves!)

    I think I have a slightly odd speaking voice too but it's gonna be all about the music so I won't be talking too much! I'm very excited - my friend is going to be producing the show :woo:

    I wish I could act, I always got such bad marks in drama :emo:

    I start lectures again tomorrow after finally finishing exams. I'm quite excited to get back into the uni routine and start new modules, although I am sure I will not be feeling this way when the reading piles up!

    Lucky :awesome: We get one but it's fairly soon so can't complain.

    I'm really pleased for you I've never done drama before ... Actually we had it occasionally when I was like 12 and I enjoyed it but it was all very silly and not graded. So I have no idea if I can act or not.

    Finally made it across to the shiny new thread!

    Semester 2 starts tomorrow for me too, so I need to do the reading for my seminar tomorrow. I'm not actually going to make the seminar as I have a docs appointment but guess I should do it all the same......

    I also need to go through all the notes for this module and edit them into making some sort of sense

    LOL

    I got my mum a mug once that says "Where there's tea, there's hope" :lolwut:

    My one encourages work though as it says "Drink up and work on" :pierre:
    Where there is tea there is hope!

    I have one mug that says on one side: 'Break Time' and on the other: 'Break Over' in a space invaders style. I don't look at the latter side.

    ---

    Finished my long essay plan despite having not read much on the subject. It's 1 A4 page for a 6000 word essay, I think that will do. Now to tidy away my notes and do some seminar work.

    I hate the freshers that live in the halls near me. They need to shut up soon. Honest to God, why do they let freshers live there? (It's a private hall and next to other private halls for 2nd years and up and families). They are so noisy! Some students are trying to work, you know!

    Boom, emailed in my plan. Like a boss. :cool: I am far too awake. Time to tidy up my mess (when I study, the messy monster invades my room and eats my shoes) and then I'll do some seminar work before bed at 1am at the latest. Or I'll just tidy and go to bed. That's more likely.

    I fail. All I've done is go food shopping, wash up, sort my laundry and edit half of what I've already written of my essay, making sure that I have all references recorded. Tomorrow I need to go to the library first thing because I forgot to record a page number out of the book I used and the library only has one copy. I will then edit the rest and get writing some more. New week, new start. Shall do some reading before bed.

    I am an idiot! I gave the rats some hazel nuts in shells to keep them occupied while I worked, how LOUD do they want to be with them! I clearly didn't think it through lol

    Although it's better than having to listen to the bloke upstairs on his bongos or play the same chord over and over on the guitar - and badly at that!

    A good mug is the way to happiness.
