I love to work with children but I would never want any of my own, seriously!
Most people do not understand this opinion, but working with them and having them around as family/your own is a whole different story!

I totally understand what you mean. Kids are great, i love my sister's kids to bits, take them shopping, spend loads of money on them and stuff and play footie, all the stuff they like, but at the end of the day i can give them back to my sister lol that's the good thing about being an uncle :p:

Again, different. Working with children has another, or a few other dimensions to it as well :biggrin:

I am applying to do Sports Science mainly, although a couple of my applications were for Exercise Science.

I don't play any sport really, but I am interested in the biology and physiology of the Human body and I want to change my career to do something in the fitness profession (i.e. a fitness instructor).

I'm a little worried that I will be punished in my interviews for not being in great shape, but then again, I have already been made a conditional offer by Coventry and they didn't even interview me. :biggrin:

Brunel - Interview/written test today
Kingston - Pending
Herts - Pending
London Met - Conditional Offer (but not on the course I wanted)
Sheffield Hallam - Rejected
Coventry - Conditional Offer :smile:

Dead right. I'm loving watching my godson / nephew get better and better with his rugby and his electric guitar and it's great being with him and his siblings whenever I get the chance but I ain't the one doing the cooking / washing / mending for them. I've definitely got the easy option.

Unconditional offer on my UCAS Track for Physics and Astrophysics at Sheffield, which I have just accepted :biggrin:

However it is conditional on my passing some tests beforehand, if I fail I have a place on the Foundation year :smile:

So if it is dependent on you passing a test beforehand, wouldn't that be classed as a conditional offer, not an unconditional one? :confused:

Congrats anyway! :biggrin:

I guess not, because the option is that Scatterheart can start with the foundation year and definite progression to the degree if he/she fails the test.

I had offers that were classed as unconditional by some universities, despite me having to pass a health and CRB check.
Other unis classified that as a conditional offer.

Well what the admissions tutor has said is that I have an unconditional offer to start the Foundation year in October, but because I have been self-teaching maths and physics, he wants me to unofficially sit the 2006 people's exams this summer some time, and if I pass them then I can go straight into the MPhys year 1.

So I was kind of expecting them to change my course code to the foundation one and give me unconditional, but he obviously has faith in me passing, eek :p:
