I do get the distinct feeling that I'm interrupting something so -my apologies- but does anyone else feel ready to go to university NOW and totally reluctant to go through the actual 'getting-the-grades-to-get-in' process?! I'm suffering dreadfully! Help!


Hmmmm... I'm not sure how I feel actually. On one hand I don't want to grow up, and do uni and life.

On the other hand, I want to start fresh and at uni, because meh.

Ah nice, 5 year warranties are so cheap! Never knew that :redface:

Quite like the look of the Orange though :smile:


The Orange one is great, I was going to get it but decided to splash out on the next size up in case I needed it for gigs. The built-in effects are gorgeous though, particularly the reverb. :colondollar:

Oh dear I feel much the same! I just keep thinking about exams and that's ruining the last few months of being at school

I'm sort of feeling like that.

It's not so much wanting to go to Uni (because I do, obviously) but it's more of the fact that I just want to get away from where I live and start completely fresh. :rolleyes:

Checked with my other friend and he thinks it's a solid purchase too (cheap 5 year warranty tho :mmm:) so I've just ordered it, thanks for the suggestion! :lol:

Wow, that was quick! It's a lovely piece of kit, hope you enjoy it as much as I love mine. Can't go wrong with Orange, really. :wink: Glad I could be of assistance anyhow. :biggrin:

If I didn't order it now then I'd be thinking about it for the rest of the day and wouldn't be able to work later :lol:

I think I'll share a video on Tuesday/Wednesday then :lol:

Hey! It's been a while :smile:
I've got an interview with Cambridge but they haven't told me the date yet. Also have an offer from Bath which is my only other choice, requiring 36 points and 6s in HL Maths + Chem.

The Winter Cup game vs Touou is so epic


Original post by Bude8
It's long and a bit narrow, got a small en suite 'pod', desk, bed, wadrobe. Quite a lot like the rooms at Bath.






Omg man I had to punch a wall due to testosterone after that last episode


Finished S2 this morning, I want the next season already!! And yeah I think the Touou game is my favourite match so far, the zone between Aomine and Kagami was epic. (was expecting more from Murasakibara tbh :s-smilie:)

Well they can't make him too OP seeing as it's pretty much the law of the 2nd season that Seirin have to win every game via a last second basket.

True dat. I honestly thought they would lose that game because why would they end the series mid tournament but I was wrong.

I'm slightly confused by how they are still first years though. Is the Japanese school year different?

Ok, this is my knowledge on how Japanese schools work, purely from watching anime :lol:

High school, years 1 2 3 is equivalent to year 11 12 13 respectively

Middle school, years 1 2 3 is equivalent to 9 10 11

Not sure if this is correct; it may be that they go to uni after year 12, but that seems about right.

I'm such a bloody idiot. I wondered why I couldn't get palm muting right, and then I realised I was using the wrong part of my hand, big time. Used the muscle under my thumb but then I realised you're meant to use the bit under your pinky... h8 myself right now :cry: :lol:

Yeah I got that there were 3 years in each but I mean when the school year runs. I don't know maybe I'm just being stupid but the show doesn't really convey the passage of time that well. Their school year must start in like Feb/March or something instead of September is what I mean.
