I'm Niamh, and I'll be on your course too! ALIS
Can't wait to start, I'll be doing French and most likely German... Have you both decided your languages, or just gonna play by ear?
Good luck in the new place - I'll be commuting for the time being at least!
See you soon!

No, nothing in the post yet, meant to be "the first week of September"... too vague for me! :P

My friend did doing Biotech with me. She's definitely not the waffling type.

Same here. For the first time, I actually want the holidays to over .

KeithTS

Starting up common entry to Engineering, shi**ing it tbh but it should be possible to get by......I'm going in as an oldie at 26 so I've been out of the loop as far as studying goes for a bit, hopefully some of the young-uns will be good enough to let me look at their answers though!

ldxo15wus6fpgm

Wouldn't worry about nothing coming in the post yet as we don't have orientation until the 20th!

KeithTS

I've had a bit of stuff sent from the college, us maturies get all the gossip first you see as we have our own little get together to relearn how to read and write on the week of the 6th.

The good folk at the registry tell me registration is 8th-17th Sept, Orientation from the 20th and Lectures start Monday 27th so there's still some time yet until we all get stuck in.

Can't wait though!!!

a week of maths starting the 6th and then a "mature student" pow-wow on the 13th and 14th!what a headstart!!
i'm the only mature student in my course apparently,great

KeithTS

The week of maths is gonna be useful for me as I'm doing engineering and every little bit is a help, as for the pow wow I'm heading just to get myself into the right frame of mind, don't want to be skipping stuff before the year actually starts.
What course are you going into?

biomedical engineering.i have an engineering degree already but my maths was always a weak point.
yeah i'm going to the orientation thing mainly to look around the campus, cant' even remember whats on the itinerary.

KeithTS

Well if you have the engineering degree already you're way ahead of the game even if your maths is "weak", I don't even have LC maths so my hours will be spent catching up aswell as learning what everybody else is at.

Are you going into 1st year or straight in at a higher level because of your current degree?
If you are starting 1st year i'll prob see you around because we'll all be doing the common thing in the 1st year if I'm not mistaken so you're not alone if that's the case.

I'm not too worried about the younglings though, at 18/19 they have their ID so the pub will break any age related barriers I'm sure!

no, they wouldnt let me into 2nd year for some reason!they said it was because i hadn't studied biology before, but they don't cover that kind of stuff 'till 2nd year!
