University of Glasgow blether thread

You've got exams over the easter holidays?

Well the official Easter Holidays are this week and last, I think.

7 exams.. I do not envy you

I feel for you with Sociology...awful subject!!

Use hypem instead?

Smack some bitches then!

Third year physicists.. pfft.

Use Last.fm?

playlists!
i used last.fm for a while but youtube ****s all over it since i can play any song whenever i want

grooveshark solves all things (plus easy to create playlists)

I've already made my youtube playlists at the expense of hours of possible studying time.
Changes in the routine are NOT PERMITTED

Learn this now: I'm here to moan, not accept suggestions, because moaning is easier than change

Well, I've been accepted for a PhD over at Strathclyde, so I'll be getting away from Glasgow uni, YAYYYYYY.

Quite excited about it tbh, Glasgow is going downhill as far as I can see, and Strathclyde (especially the Engineering and Technology subjects) seem to be going from strength to strength.

Glasgow doesn't have nearly as much time for Engineering, Science and Technology and would prefer to keep its traditional subjects of the Arts and Law, etc.

They way they do research over at Strathclyde (in the team I'm going to anyway) is several levels above what it is at Glasgow.

Plus they don't seem to have nearly as many *****, morons, hippies and arts students occupying buildings and wasting money.

You guys don't know the horror of university work until you've spent an hour trying to rearrange the relatively simple summation;

$\displaystyle \frac{n_{x+1}}{n_x}(1-\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{n_{x+k}-n_{x+k-1}}{n_x+1}e^{-kr})$

into

$\displaystyle (e^r-1)\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{n_{x+k}}{n_x}e^{-rk}$

to no avail, when in fact you are trying to prove that

$\displaystyle \frac{n_{x+1}}{n_x}(1-\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{n_{x+k}-n_{x+k\mathbb{+}1}}{n_x+1}e^{-kr})$

is equivalent to the above.

FUMING.
Yes it was pointless of me typing this out in Latex but look I'm a very annoyed guy today

Sigh,
really not looking forward to going back to Glasgow in a lot of ways.
Being home always reminds me how much I have here, and how much I don't have there.

Nah, I didn't mean that it had more time for arts than science. I meant that Glasgow doesn't have as much time for science, engineering and technology as Strathclyde does, exemplified by the fact that Strathclyde is putting all its resources into these things (new £83 million Innovation and Technology Centre opening in 2 years), whereas Glasgow would never dream of doing such a thing.

You could be right - but Strathclyde is certainly doing more.

Thanks for attempting to rep.
