Hey

I'm Jake and I thought I'd start a thread for Bangor Chemistry Students starting in September 2013. I'll be one of your Peer Guides next year, and due to illness last year and the amount of time I had off (I only went to six lectures in Semester 1... oops!) the Uni has recommended I do a resit year despite passing all the necessary modules... so yeah, you're stuck with me in lectures too!

If anybody wants any course information don't be afraid to ask, but yeah- introduce yourselves! It really helps knowing people beforehand!!

Heyyyy! I had health difficulties xD It's so annoying because I passed the year results-wise, it's just lab attendance -.- Even though my absences were exempt because of a doctor's note they're keeping me back anyway "just in case I missed anything"

Starting (hopefully) my first year in Chemistry in September, any advice for a chem student-to-be? The only thing I've picked up so far is all the calories I'm going to burn walking up and down the stairs in the chemistry tower :P

Oh gosh, the stairs :P It's okay, there's an unspoken rule of if its more than 4 floors, take the lift :P But not the Magic Lift because that could take you anywhere haha xD And Bitch Hill is more calorie burning than the stairs :P You don't truly understand how evil it is until you experience it lol

Ermmmm... don't do what I did and not go to any lectures because you're ill because otherwise you'll end up resitting the year despite having technically passed figures-wise xD

Apart from that, my only advice is to enjoy first year as it doesn't actually count to your degree so if you're gonna doss about, first year is the time to do it :P
