Workshop Booze Up V - We're going to the future!

[Silver Wolf]

I don't believe in that much either...
I find it more of a personality trait that actual condition, but there's still lots of negative stuff behind the curtain.

It's weird. I used to be an extrovert for a short time.

[Pentagathus]

Were you drunk or high during that short time?

[Silver Wolf]

Hyperactive, actually.

[comrade_general]

All of us exhibit those signs, Wolfman; that's what it is to be Exilian.

[Silver Wolf]

This one is hilarious:


So Canadian...

[Pentagathus]

Its the way any Canadian would want to go, being straddled by a large furry beast.

[Jubal]

Oh, Canada.

[Pentagathus]

IIRC we have some resident croatians here. For those of you who plan on attending Soundwave Croatia this year I'd most mightily suggest you see Solko.

[Silver Wolf]

Myself.

If I get a good crowd I might go. But I highly doubt it, mostly because of my college.
And the fact that I'm a hard rock/metal/alternative/punk/industrial/weird-stuff-in-general fan.

[Ladyhawk]

I start Uni this year................. Don't like it already.

[Pentagathus]

You don't like your uni or you don't like the fact you will be starting uni?

[Gen_Glory]

ive been at uni since september and doubt ill still be here by this coming september

my advice, really think whether or not the course you are choosing is right for you and always check the course content (my uni has a habit of lying about course content on open days)

I was promised Dinosaurs dammit!

[Jubal]

To be fair, though, first year of any Uni course is usually a really really dull slog just to get you to a stage where you can reasonably be asked to do more interesting stuff. And part of it's just a case of being able to work through the crap bits to open up jobs in the rest of your life which won't involve you feeling utterly braindead permanently - in fact that's probably the main thing, really. My course is often pretty gruelling, but I think that it's really worth sticking with things as easy options in the short run may really suck long term. Agreed that checking course content is a good plan though. Are you still mostly doing minerals, earth science, etc DD?

EDIT: Just read up on your course content, yeah, your first year kinda sucks. The actual palaeontology modules and the practical bits in Year 2 do look a lot more interesting though.

[Pentagathus]

You planning on switching unis then D? You know where you'd like to go if you do switch?

[Gen_Glory]

well I think I need to spend more time thinking about what i want to do rather than what i did nearly 2 years ago which was 'oh armadillo uni is in a year, ummm, ooh, dinosaurs and stars! looks like a good idea!' (i applied to palaeo and astrophysics)

i would love to stay at portsmouth and do a different course but between whats here and what my grades allow me to do i'll probably be looking at another uni or a completely different career path

@Pent: If you do choose to come here and dont get into halls just give us a bell and ill send you my landlords details
