I've hardly done anything this year. I started off with 4 subjects and then dropped one, I ten dropped modern a few weeks ago because I didn't want to do the dissertation. So all I'm doing now is History and higher geography. I'm so glad I'm good at winging exams. Have fun in biology, after history I have no exams until the 30th. :smile: I'm so glad school is over.


Managed to stick out my four subjects, despite failing my psychology prelim so badly. Not sure why I didn't drop it haha! After biology my exams are 6th and 7th of June, nothing like having exams the day after eachother haha! Me too, cannot wait to start Uni!

I hated psychology, I only took it because it meant I had 3 more free periods a week and it wasn't run by school so it didn't matter if I showed up or not. I don't particularly want to start uni, I just want to move out. :smile:

We have a really bad lecturer for psychology like usually I don't like blaming the teachers but she's awful. Oh yeah moving out is gonna be amazing!

Ours was pretty bad too, she was from Aberdeen college. All we did was powerpoints and my friends weren't very impressed when they realised the report had to be in and she hadn't properly told them when it was meant to be in. How'd history go?

Hi :smile: My name is Hannah, I'm 19 and from northern Ireland. I confirmed Stirling a few weeks ago and have got a flat in fraser of allander. Studying psychology. Quite excited. Anyone else staying there or doing psychology?


Hey!
I'm staying in Fraser of Allander and I'm studying psychology, as well! :smile:
Which flat are you in? I'm Jana, by the way, 19 (will be 20, when uni starts), from Germany, and so excited to read other people stay in Fraser of Allander, because apparently most first years stay in Muirhead, if they've chosen flats at all!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to hear back from you :smile:

Edit: Actually, I just remembered something. I posted you a message on facebook :biggrin: I saw your post on the Stirling website and sent you a private message. Mhm, I hope I don't come along as a weird stalker now :wink:

Was her name Sue by any chance? Because this totally sounds exactly like who I had haha! Oh my god not good! From what we've been taught, I could only answer one essay, not even kidding haha! We haven't been over the others enough to write an essay - maybe like a paragraph in an essay but that's all :/ So it meant my Republican essay was about 20 pages cause I just kept adding things haha. Didn't mind the sources, although I couldn't really think of much to add to the Emancipation Proclamation one :tongue: For you?

I think it was sheena. It was okay, essays were too specific. I could write a bit but not enough for a good essay, I think those questions would have been better off suited to being source ones. I did the western/ Eastern theatre one and the north/south social/ economic decisions. They weren't exactly great. Source questions were okay though. If I pass it will be a very narrow pass. The emancipation proclamation one I just did the source points and a tiny bit of recall and then left. :smile:

Hey :smile: I'm staying in 1/3/1 too! I'm so glad I've found some people staying in Fraser, I feel a lot less nervous now!


I'm staying in 1/3/1, as well :smile: So glad, to hear people are in Fraser, apparently normally it's not 1st year accommodation, just because some of the other buildings got knocked down. Anyway, what are you studying? :smile:

Ha, funny, I just realized that you wrote me an answer in the other Stirling thread, as well :biggrin:
So, it looks like we are three people in the same flat at the moment, at least that I know of :wink:
