Ok, so i can just add math?

Yeah well we're told you don't have to make final decisions until near the end of second year, so you can take maths, economics and another subj in first then, then in second year maths, economics and either part of another subject or extra maths (most people have 2, but economics has 40 level 2 credits compared to most subjects 60, with maths offering 80, 20 of which aren't needed for entry into level 3). You'll get an advisor anyway and they will help you out in deciding which path to take :smile:

Yup. There are easier ways to get a job.

I quite enjoyed fourth year! Although I did burst out laughing the other day remembering how I went into one of my finals only having revised two topics...probably for the best they came up really.

Nice one, I occasionally fancy I would want to do one of those, but again I'm not so sure it's for me.

That is horrendously good fortune! Two topics, and I'm assuming it was a 3-question paper?!

I'm enjoying the studying part of fourth year, as sad as it sounds. It's good to be studying areas of the law to this level. I am not enjoying the slash-and-burn effect it has had on every other area of my life...

A masters is only useful if you have a clear idea of why you're doing it. Everyone in the profession will tell you not to do it however, so you need to be sure of yourself.

It was a six question exam. Still remember turning over the page finding the question I needed and thinking 'won't have to fake that heart attack then'.

What kind of areas are you doing?

I was going to say that everyone I had spoken to had cautioned against it! You're obviously sure you're getting out of it what you want!

Haha, indeed! I had meant an 'answer 3 questions' exam, sorry. All of my honours ones have been/will be in that format. Although not as dodgy as 3 answers for 6 questions I don't think.

Corporate/Commercial/Competition mainly, although I have my hand in a couple of public international areas if I fancy changing tack.

Oh, what's that? An invitation to Viper just as I'm about to begin my revision? How could I possibly turn that down?

The next person to compare Glasgow Uni to Hogwarts/anything related to Harry Potter ...

Seriously. It was mildly amusing during the Open Day. Now it's getting embarrassing.

How long have you been at Glasgow?

Because I've been here since 2007 and I may lash out physically at the next person to say it.

Since September. I have very low tolerance levels.

By the end of Freshers' Week I was trying not to physically harm people with The [Glasgow Uni] Accent.

The Glasgow accent? You may have moved to the wrong city.

EDIT: Actually I should have put some question marks in there because every ****ing statement is spoken like a question.

I have never heard of this accent. You know when they say that everyone has one friend that goes too far and if you don't you're that friend? I feel like this accent may be that for me.
