Durham General Chat Thread

boat clubs and football teams can entirely sway the vote.

Ah, Judith and Ali, are you enjoying being back? I'm loving it!

At the moment apart from being able to talk to Tom every night on the phone and see my Mum and brother every single day, not so far.

Yesterday I had a migraine that lasted all day and it's still with me, and I've still got to go out and job hunt.

*Perhaps this thread should be renamed the Moaning thread for me today*.

Aww. ;console; Hope your migraine gets better soon.

Seeing other halves is the best. Had the June Ball on Tuesday, and it was great despite a water main bursting in the afternoon and flooding the entire bar and JCR!

this is quite a ransom question so sorry but when you learn languages at durham is it like A2? For like the core modules? And 1 other thing i was pondering about was do you guys still use a4 folders for notes and stuff!? I sound so lame, i was just dreaming about trevelyan (I SO WANNA GET THE GRADES!!!) and wanted to know!

SORRY!!

What are the balls generally like at Durham? Aside from burst-water-mains galore, that is. Are they along the lines of like, high school/college balls/proms where everyone wears ballgowns/Really Nice Dresses/tuxes, or more informal?

What do you mean is it like A2?

I still use folders.

Balls at Durham: generally waaaaaay better than end of school things, loads more things going on etc. I can't really say for other colleges balls apart from Castle's though.

I mean are lessons sort of taught the same way or is it completely you teaching yourself and they are there is you need them???? Which languages do you do at the mo?

thanks :-)

Well no, you have grammar and translation classes that are taught in small groups, so that's a bit like A2, and you do homeworks for them, but you are expected to do a lot more on your own than at A2.
At the mo I'm doing French and Italian.
