Neat set. Did you apply for uni this year?

Yeah, going off to Edinburg soon to study civil engineering

Nice one. Hopefully I'll be doing something similar next year.

o rly? What uni's you looking at?

Civil engineering at Cambs, Imperial, Bath, Edinburgh, Bristol as of yet.

That time of year again, whose reving?

me, once again; only got 2 exams this year so could be worse. you?

Seems like we are the only ones for like 3 years in a row now. Forums demographic must have gotten older.

Got the full set his year, further maths (FP1, FP2, FP3, S2, M2 (retake wanker), M3, M4), physics (got here exams including a 3 hour long one!) and chemistry (3 papers and a prac).
You've only got 2 actual exams?!

oof, quite the list you've got. yeah, just the two this semester as I'm only doing 3 modules and one of the modules is 100% essay based so no exams. Only exams i have is maths for engineering and civ eng, both quite spaced out. some 3 weeks between, plenty of time to revise* :)))

*mainly procrastinating, some revision

you got your two uni's selected now?

*mainly procrastinating, some revision

Of course. Lucky. Though essays for engineering, thought I had avoided that shite.

Would(not) like to see a graph of my use of the forum over the year and see the spikes correlating to revision periods. Its annoying too as as I was practising for interviews I was so concentrated, could sketch any graph ever and now I'm just sitting on a computer unable to distinguish 1-cos^2(x) and (1-cos(x))^2.

you got your two uni's selected now?

Yeah, had them sitting in the bank since January the 11th - a day to remember - (for no other reason than hoping someone would offer me crazy deals/or toying with the Bath student who they got to phone me up, which I bottled) and literally just firmed up yesterday.
Just been mailed the 5th form I've had to fill for my firm choice today. Really hate these, they take so long to get right. They're so complicated too especially because you're so worried about getting anything wrong. I swear that's the Cambridge admissions system: Screw the personal statement and interview, can you fill in our forms?

Oh the essay isn't for eng, its for my outside/elective course (History of science), only writing in eng is mainly just group reports etc. No essays, dont you worry.

Ha, sounds like a pain in the backside. So are your two choices Bath and Cambridge then?

No essays, dont you worry.

Thank God for that. Had seen a meme entitled "when an engineer says they have an essay due in" which got me worried too. Don't think I've written more than a personal statement's worth of full sentences in two years (as I say in pros).

So are your two choices Bath and Cambridge then?

No, Cambridge and Imperial. Applied to Bath, Edinburgh and the other two.
Just need A* in further maths and physics, so happy my offer doesn't include chemistry (to my teachers dismay, none of them did - parent evening was very amusing when I told them).
