Exams.. And Universities.. and Stuff

Ack, exams. Big exams. In 6 and 8 days. [Wednesday and Friday of next week].

Well, I'm going back to school today. Electronics and Mechanics. So I reckon I'll be spending most of Mechanics being revised at, and most of Electronics being ahead of everyone else. C'est la vie. I love Thursdays.

Also, yes. I have exams next week, thanks for asking. Mechanics [Wed] and Physics [Fri].

Mechanics is all about dynamics, SUVAT equations, projectiles, vectors...
Physics is all about dynamics, SUVAT equations, projectiles, vectors... conservation of energy, deformation of solids, and spring extensions.

So I figure that if I just revise for Mechanics, I'll get it all right. Yeah, that's about right.

 

Anyway, I spent the whole night looking at universities online, determined to not go to Bolton university [On the advice of my great uncle], in order to be "independant" and "live on my own" without being in the same town as Grandma. ...Yeah. You know how they say where there's a will there's a way? Well I willed to not go to Bolton, but clearly the universe hates me. The only good course I can find is in Bolton University. *sigh*

Well, I suppose if I get accomodation near the university, I can.. pretend it's a new town. Yeah. *nods* That's what I'll do.

Also, is it wrong to worry and be scared about something that's over 1.7 years away?

 

That's all. I leave you with a drabble, based on challenge #147 of the DW100 drabble community [A drabble is a short 100 word story] which is "Ice and Snow".

 

"Right! Earth, here we are then!" the Doctor said, excitedly, to Rose. "Ice age! One step out there like that and you'll freeze to death, go get changed!"

Rose ran off to the wardrobe room, while the Doctor looked outside through the scanner screen. Glaciers everywhere, a completely white scene. A scene that no human alive had ever seen. Rose ran back in, dressed in a snow jacket. She smiled at the Doctor, and then ran to open the doors, to see the icy scene she had been promised. The doors were opened, and…

…A perfectly healthy green field.

“…Ah…”

1 - Anxiety of something 1.7 years from now is not strange.

I'm back at university next year too. I don't think I ever left to be honest.

2 - Just a word of advice - if you live in the area around the uni, they won't guarantee you accommodation. It might be different with Bolton, but most universities tend to hold out on giving local students accommodation until everyone else has been given some. So, you could end up not even finding out if they're giving you accommodation until a few weeks before you start, in the September. Even then, it's most likely to be a grotty room that everyone else turned down.

I start uni in October. I've firmly accepted Bristol's offer (wahey for scholarships). I started looking at universities probably around February last year - so no, it's not too early. You probably don't have any idea who I am, but if you need any help or advice either poke me on my blog or get my email address off Loup.

3 - Yes, that is a danger that I am worried about. I'm going to have to email them about it, or ask them about it in an open day or whatever. I really REALLY don't want to go that close to home anyway [I want the full university experience, new town, new surroundings, etc. I already know the whole of Bolton, so it won't be much of an adventure], but Bolton is the only university that I've found that does that specific course that covers everything I want to learn about computing.

Advice would be most appreciated. Do you have MSN/AIM/YIM/whatever?
