She's a third year, we met after (both inebriated) she confided she's been after me for a year. I explained that I don't have a flirt radar
We went to hers

He said if I was aiming for a 2.2 I'll now get a third. So I told him I wasn't aiming for a 2.2, I was aiming for a first, at which point he sniggered and told me I "definitely won't get a first." Cunt. He also tried to explain some management information system or something with an intelligence arrow/sliding scale. It had works at the bottom (with the least intelligence) and managers at the top (with the most).
Anyway, apart from that, and the other snooty lecturers, it's been great.
My housemates are fine (so far) and my room is huge. And I'm not in Middlesbrough anymore (hooray!). And I'm even enjoying the maths![]()

.Hopefully, it'll get easier as you go on. I found that the library has some decent books on 'study skills', which may sound naff but really helped me. The bits on how to write essays are invaluable.PacificOcean said:I am studying at Birkbeck in the evenings so my life is not that different, apart from doing classes in the evening instead of going home to watch Corrie.
One thing I will say though is that I feel like I've been thrown in at the deep end, it's been a while since I studied and uni level is diffent from school anway, so I thought they might have given a bit of guidence on how to study and what not. Rather than straight into lessons. I have my first mid term in three weeks and I haven't the foggiest about the subject yet (quantative methods) The fact that I am doing an inter-disiplienary degree just makes me feel like I have to learn three subjects rather than one.
I feel really snowed under.

back in halls, spending most of the time hiding in room clinging to internet for dear life.
have about £150-200 to last till the end of term.
on the plus side there's a new woman person. but she's at "home" (that being 200 miles away)

If you really feel that way then perhaps you could switch to say OU or an evening course? Don't you have work to do outside the lectures? I've got ~14 hours of taught time/week, but then they expect at least 3 hours of reading for every seminar (6) plus essays etc - I would have serious problems holding down a job even if I only had lectures/seminars in the evenings.chio said:I'd really love to be able to study in the evenings rather than spend all day hanging around here. The amount of lectures I have could be compressed into a couple of evenings a week, and I'd be able to do other things like work in the day.
