Raining_again Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Good work! I'd have NO idea what to do there. Funny thing is my da is supposed to be the expert! He didn't have too much of a clue lol. Just add it to the awesome that is Raining_again. *boogies*
Slaggis Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Just completed my personal statement! I'm rather happy with it. Question though. I'm applying for a couple of different courses, so do I have to incorporate both courses into one personal statement? Or do I write another for that respective course?
Jon Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 5-a-side time, here's hoping we can record our first win of the season, came close last week but here's hoping it's fourth time lucky. Not too sure how well i'll do though, back's been pretty painful last couple of days.
Ashley Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 You only get to use one, so just gotta try and incorporate everything into one. Still unsure about Blockbusters. Gonna try and find out more during the induction tomorrow.
MoogleViper Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Haha I started a trend on the last page. It was awesome. Anywho just been playing Rinbow six vegas co-op.

Woop, same here Sent off my UCAS today And yeh you can only do one personal statement, so try and incorporate elements of both corses into the one. Not easy if you're applying for completely different courses.

I have no clue how I'm going to incorporate Psychology into it now.
rokhed00 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Had a shitty day, been on edge all day from nicotine withdrawal, didn't get any breakfast, and my washing machine died on me.
Strider Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 All this talk of people sending off their UCAS applications has started getting me worried, as of yet i still don't know where i want to go. I want to do Computer Science, and at the moment i've put down Nottingham (Live close by, although i think the city's abit of a dump), Lincoln (Nice place, close, crap in the league tables), Hallam (faily low in the league tables, however close) and Plymouth (Far away, maybe too far) . However based on the Times online Uni rankings, some are fairly crap in the tables (Lincoln especially 99/100, but i like the place alot). *Confused*

Plus these personal statements aren't really that big a deal, you know. I You realise that sheffield hallam is where it's at, yeah? fuck the rankings for universities in general; rely on the city you're moving to and how respectable their course is. MY DAY! played gears of war. Met a mate at a pub, then found out the flat party was cancelled so... now I'm home. Got a few hours before sleep, which means a few hours before essay writing begins! Will either go through gears 2 solo for a bit on casual just for fun, or try my hand at Horde mode, or maybe turn my hand at fable for a while. Who knows. I want Shorty back so I can play co-op, is what
Strider Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 You realise that sheffield hallam is where it's at, yeah? fuck the rankings for universities in general; rely on the city you're moving to and how respectable their course is. How would i find out how respectable a course was?
gaggle64 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 For a few glorious seconds of magic and wonder today, I actually managed to move one eyebrow totally independently of the other. I've never been happier.
Supergrunch Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 How would i find out how respectable a course was? You should be able to find various course rankings, try the Times and Sunday Times university guides - they might be emedded in there somewhere.
Chris the great Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Thanks (And Ashley). I'm applying for Journalism and Psychology, so they're rather different. I have no clue how I'm going to incorporate Psychology into it now. if you apply for psychology, you should do it with somthing, like counseling or crimonlogy. you dont want to end up in my position, unqualifed for any work and having to apply to shops for a shitty job just so you can get away from the dole. as for my day, housework for an age followed by fallout 3. was fun.

So you did Psychology too, and haven't been able to get a job with it?
Chris the great Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 So you did Psychology too, and haven't been able to get a job with it? i havent. in fairness, i did get a 2.2 (fucked up one essay and im paying for it forever) but the real problem is that there no real jobs just based on psychology, save maybe research. a few jobs are available on the NHS, but its v comeptative and you need experience for everything. by having something with psychology it gives you a more clear path, as well as leaving all the same dorrs open that i have how.
Fierce_LiNk Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I'm pretty pissed off at the moment, and feel like I can't do anything right. Really not enjoying my placement all that much, and life in general is far too up and down. On top of that, it's hard when you don't feel appreciated, when you're trying to help in some way, or you're trying to make somebody feel better. So, although my mood had brightened up over the weekend, I'm just more or less back when I started. Which is awesome.

Dude, it's exactly the same with media, I've gotten either refusals or no replies from radio stations. I think I'll start applying to newpapers or something. My reviews may help me. As my degree alone seems to be worth fuck all. I've been using my job at the pub [wank hours they give me (about 15-19 a week)] for the monies and to keep me occupied. Plus the possible rejoin of Sainsbury's also mainly for the monies and to pass the time. It's all good trying to get a job relevant to one's degree, but if you're not doing in the meantime it's bullshit. Plus I had my mum whining at me to sign on the dole, which I did until I got a job at the pub [before they started fucking me over on the hours]
Chris the great Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 well, it just so happens i'm thinking of forming a heros for hire company. any one fed up with being unemployed/under appreciated can join and do heroic things.
Guest Jordan Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Furniture been delayed again, till Wednesday or Thursday. Yay, Shetland. I swear I could have gotten a pack mule to do it faster.
Dan_Dare Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Unlucky dude. in other news: yay for shit night's sleep. Feel like crap.

They really like it. It really depends what you want to do their though. For Computing I wouldn't recommend it at all.

I don't know what a pack mule is, but it sounds hilarious. I think I accidentally called in sick, to accidentally play GOW2 and watch The Wire. Heh.
