My worst module was P4, but my favourite module was P5... work that one out!! I was on OCR syllabus by the way. Oh and also, you live between Bristol and Bath? Do you live near Keynsham?

My worst was Stats 1. Mind numbingly boring stuff. Almost lost will to live doing it. Favourite was all the Mechanics Modules, especially M3. I did P6 instead of P5 and it wasn't too bad. I agree that P4 did suck a bit tho. I was on OCR too.

I haven't done Maths (or come to think of it, anything) for two months now and I am so outta practise. Basic addition is becoming a struggle.

I live in Warmley, about two minutes down the road from you! Lol! What are the chances of that. What college did you go to? Wellsway? I was at John Cabot CTC in Kingswood.

On the subject of colouring, you should have seen the biology class at my college. It was suprising what they could do with a pack of chunky markers and two pieces of sugar paper. We ripped it out of them for the whole two years. Especially when they started using the medium of dance. Lol! I don't know what exam board they were on but it was daft. Completely daft.

I liked geog in gcse. But only for one priceless memory. My geog teach was shouting at this kid and he was in mid rant when his teeth fell out. Hillarious. Laughed so much it was painful.

Ach, didn't like M3... prob cos I did it in the first year of sixth form, everyone ended up getting D's E's and U's on it! I know what you mean about getting outta practice, I can barely remember anything, I'm sure i'll have to at least flick through my folders before uni starts.

Aye good guess, I went to Wellsway! You weren't in the evening post yesterday were you... cos if you were I'm looking at you right now (makes me sound like a stalker but nevermind!). What college are you off to in October?

Ouch! M3 in the first year. Madness. It was the last module I did. I chucked most of my maths notes (well actually I had quite a few so I burnt them on a big bonfire) but I kept most of the key ones.

Yeah I am! I'm the guy in the picture in the top right hand corner of page 23. I'm taking a year out to work for an Engineering Consultancy in Bath, and then I'm going to Trinity Hall.

Where you off too? And how many people from Wellsway got Cambridge? I'm trying to remember the names of anyone I know who goes to Wellsway......

I just had Rice Krispie Muddles for the first time (ok, I had them three hours ago and nearly choked over them while watching the rowing). Not again, I don't think.

I never have cooked breakfast, even at uni - I don't have time in the mornings, it's always just cereal, or a grapefruit if I'm feeling healthy.

OOooo, I had Muddles for breakfast/mid afternoon snack (ahhh lazy summer days!) the other day! They really are horrible! All wierd & toffee like; but then I don't think any cereal with people and fish shaped bits would taste nice!

Are you married yet? (I found out this morning I get college mums! That worries me slightly, I know womens colleges have that stereotype but will I be expected to marry a girl next year?! lol)

I just choked on my tea reading this, totally forgetting the context of 'marriage.'

It still makes me laugh, I have actually met Helen (not that I made it known who I was or that I knew who she was at the time...too wierd!) and she mentioned she was 'sort of getting married', I was more than a bit confused until she explained!

Have you still got the hangover from the other site? :smile:

I hope my explanation about the smurfs sufficed..!

I'm still a bit groggy but not too bad. I couldn't help myself tho because everyone kept buying me congratulatory drinks so I felt obliged to get plastered. Ahh well. Only live once.

Yeah very good *chuckle* I can see how your answer would work :tongue:

Another one then:

How can you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

Answer me that!

Hmmm, I probably know their faces but the names don't ring any bells. I think a guy called Steven Bacon went to Wellsway. I haven't seen him since 1997 tho :tongue:

Yeah I'm doing Engineering at Trinity Hall.

Well done on getting in!

Tis part of the college parenting system - you have two "parents" in upper years who look after you and one other (your brother/sister) and just check you're ok in the first few weeks. Therefore, in order to pair up for having kids, we need to "get married" and sign up on the list for parenting.

Katie - I am married, I even have a ring! :biggrin:

Tis very tacky, but it's the thought that counts. So hopefully will be having one medic and one NatSci for children, but can't be 100% sure. It's so weird that I explained all this to you without knowing who you were or even that you were coming to Cambridge :eek:

Classic. I take my hat off to your friend. My chemistry teacher once set fire to the astroturf. We all found it funny. Especially when he had to pay for repairs out of his own pocket.
