University of Glasgow blether thread

i've lost my university ID and passport at Subclub and today I found out someone took out books on my library card. I've reported my card lost but what's going to happen now?

I'm sure they'll understand, just bring them back nice stuff and all will be forgiven

I'm glad you have faith, cheers!

That is odd! I don't think I've seen five non-macbooks in the library anywhere...

I work close to the deadline as well, I need the fear. It isn't great for planning/organising though...

Off-topic, but GU Memes has been copied by my high school and I don't know whether it's socially acceptable to 'like' a page with a target audience of 11-16 year olds....

Indeed, the nice stuff will totally make up for the extra money it'll cost this all depends on me getting year abroad obv.

Course I do

My old high school did too, and they actually got in the paper for it, for calling teachers paedophiles and slagging off Barrhead too much Are the horrible pictures off yet? Been too scared to check...

Ach parents love to spend money on their darling children though!

Hope you get it, I regret not even applying for one

Indeed, and flights to Canada aren't THAT much more expensive than trains to and from Glasgow...kind of

I really hope I get it too...no idea when I find out though so that's a weight on my mind for next week while!

There are probably better arguments to run in front of your parents, I'd keep that one in reserve

Ach do your best to forget about it. Although, I never manage to do that with exam results/job applications etc so I've no idea why I'm suggesting it!

I found a useful document which shows how much a year abroad increases employability so showed it to them. Mind you they were pretty okay with it especially as I've got some money saved and can work over the summer to earn more to help out

Ha ha I can't forget about things, doesn't work at all. Especially as the people who applied to Australia/New Zealand/California started hearing about offers this week (they had an earlier hand in deadline).

Nice one! Most of my year abroad mates have jobs lined up, for more anecdotal evidence! Once in a lifetime opportunity and all that, too.

Ach that sucks when you're the last to hear.

Exactly, plus a year when I can ski loads (my dad loves skiing, he'll understand my reasoning) Plus the courses out there are AMAZING! It does suck, I've emailed the lady to ask if she knows roughly when we'll hear. Cos if it's not till march I can at least relax until then.

So jealous. Went two ski trips in school and haven't been since

Good thinking!

The Times' paywall went down last night for a while and there was FREE Caitlin Moran. I came here to tell you but the server was down...

Got my late result and passed last semester with a B average. Reasonably happy as it's a step up from last year's poor results.

If the trend continues I stand a chance of getting a reasonably good honours grade.


Also, study abroad apps were returned to people that got out of Erasmus places and those studying law with languages but not us normies

Nah we were meant to hear like 2 weeks ago.

They had some issues with Spanish connections (though this would appear to be sorted now, still nothing for us )

Every email notification for the past week on my phone has been teasing me

So....I'm going to be a postgraduate at Glasgow next year. Does anyone have any advice about finding a flat in Glasgow? I want a one bedroom place nearish to the uni.

Offered a year in Bergen (my first choice)
