Haha;
The only programme I'd like to influence my accent would be "The Sopranos" ... I don't suppose you get many Italian-Americans at Cambridge? And yeah, the one thing I'm definately keeping down at uni, is my northern accent... I don't wanna come back and get laughed at lol, and I wanna be representin' the whole of the Boro down there...
You know what... I always have this stupid compulsion to talk as if I've already got in... "when I come down there" as opposed to "If I come down there"... and the close the results get, the smaller my chances seem. Daayym did I do badly in these exams, or did I do badly.

I know... s'why none of my other friends are comin onto UKL message boards... incase they hear so much that they really really really really wanna get the offer, and actually start believin that they're into their first choice uni... and if ya get too attached to this place, and DON'T make ya offer... well then thats jus gonna be devastation x 10.

Aye... I think I met one or two medics... I can't remember who they were, but they were very very helpful... one girl in particular helped me on a few occassions... in fact she saved me from being late for an interview with a very daunting interviewer... Thankyou if you're out there and you're reading this ! lol
In fact, she walked me about 20 meters in the direction of Dr. Abulaffiah's (sp?) room; I wouldn't have got there otherwise lol... but she went no closer to his office, and when I spoke to him, I could see why -

Hello there - late entry:
Name: Lucerna / Michelle
(if I get the grades) Bio NatSci at Emmanuel
Location: pompey pompey pompey. yay.
And here for the hell of it is a very goofy pic just cause other people seem to have added photos...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ommonroom2.jpg
People seem to be discussing accents. I, alas, am a bit posh. I tend to lose my "t"'s when home though. And some people say I sound South African/American - god knows why. Too much TV probably. -

good lck btw!My offer's AAA in bio,chem, maths. My Spanish isn't included (dammit)
