University of Glasgow blether thread

English is mental though, I'm sure I remember having friends who had six essays in on one day, or at least, the choice to do six and they had to hand in two.

I desperately need a job but am going into third year ... so is my flatmate. She's had a job for ages though and can't afford to give it up so I hope I can balance honours with hopefully finding a job

Got all my results back at once tonight, how's everyone else doing with them?

When did you sit them? I've had sweet FA back and I did them over a month ago

I've just got a job too. No idea how I'm going to survive third year. I'll be doing six history courses, a part time job, being on 4 committees inside uni, and two outside of uni (one of which I'm probably giving up in November if I can, but the other one, if I get the position, will involve trips down south fairly regularly for meetings) - I'm sure plenty of people manage to juggle all that, but as I'm aiming for a first and I want to do all my committee duties properly, it's going to be a challenge.

Yikes. Well done on the job (where is it? ). My brother got a 2:i last year with a job so it can be done, but I'm nervous

I think the important part of the sentence is 'CHOICE to do six', and also I've written it in a way that looks as if they got the question on the same day they wrote it. They knew the deadline ages in advance and had a choice of multiple questions but they could hand in all of them and the best marks were what was taken. I definitely remember this happening though,or maybe I'm going mad in my old age.

OK. Thanks. I hate having more than one thing due for the same day though ;____;

I'm panicking about this. I've had the same part time job since I was 14 and I need to work a particular number of hours to actually be able to afford travel to uni Going into 3rd year and balancing 20-24 hours a week working is completely filling me with dread Don't want to/can't give it up though. Drat!

Have you considered making a wish to the overdraft fairy?

How long can the overdraft fairy last though? 2/3 months? 4/5 if you are very prudent?

For me personally? Five years and counting

that is a big overdraft fairy!!!
You got a parttime job or extra fudning from elsewhere though?

There are quite a few jobs going in branches of the sausage roll shop I work in, especially now as people quit to go home from uni. Though I work in the southside so I've no idea how many jobs are going in the west end.
I feel so useless though as I struggled working 15 hours this exam time, while my brother got an MEng working 25 most of the year, with 2 hours travel time
