Work and Leisure. Which bits are you hating? :hugs:


BASICALLY EVERYTHING, although market structures isn't so bad... bit REALLY repetitive though. Looking forward to government intervention and failure though :smile: Only 2 more months then macro :woo:

hehe Don't tell me you like it! :eek: and aww fanx love. I love that smiley! ^^

E&M requires written work? :eek:

Well if that were really true you could've substituted your choice for another university...


I'm applying for History & Economics, so I have to send off two 2000 word essays for both :rolleyes: with the HAT on Wednesday as well.
Unfortunately no, the course isn't in enough uni's so I've pretty much applied where it's available (excluding the Scottish ones - I'm a home girl what can I say!). Sorry to whine, it hasn't been a very good day and the silence from Track is killing me :tongue:

I'm finding it all quite interesting! Although i think the government intervention chapter in the textbook isn't well structured, it's difficult to tell when one section ends and another starts.

Are you taking it in January? :u:

How did you do in the first two units?

Oh right, haha. You worried me for a minute then, even though Balliol had specifically said no written work was required :tongue:

Good luck getting it done!

:lol: We're doing it to a completely different way to the textbook so I get so confused and have to flip back and forth. I haven't actually checked out that bit but it seems pretty compact and it's all in one section!? No?

Yep I am! :love: I love Jan modules! Erm honestly I thought they were pretty easy :lol: I didn't have much revision to do lets just say... But this stuff is kinda harder

Hard work at AS-Levels always pays off. :love:

The essay topics offer more breadth. I just hope in the exam I pick the right one. I have a tendency of spending two minutes doing one question (when I have a choice) then change my mind completely to the other option.
