    You?
    I was just asking because I have NO idea what sort of chance I have. Do you have alot of journo experience/1st? I'm predicted a 2:1 so I'm wondering if thats going to destroy my chances pretty much immediately!!

    I do history, french and history of art at Durham.

    Luckily, being at work is making the time difference go a bit quicker. i heard the most they give out finncial aid is about $2000 so I'm not really getting my hopes up too much!

    I do have journalistic experience and predicted a 2:1 but I am still just as terrified as you!

    Wait, you do 3 courses?! Wow! I am sure you will be fine! I am meant to be doing an essay on Nazi Film Propaganda, but instead checking my emails nervously...:eek:

    We did look at Olympia and Triumph of the Will, but I am looking at Jew Suss and its effectiveness in raising support for the Nazi's final solution. Fascinating but upsetting stuff
