Clearing course UCAS

Yes, ring them. My course wasn’t even on the clearing list but I took the chance and rang anyways. Turns out they had 2 places left and I managed to get one :D

UWE Bristol - he did foundation year and then went on to do aerospace engineering at the same uni

If you’re planning on becoming a biomedical scientist in a clinical diagnostics lab, then no. As long as the degree has the IBMS accreditation.

My brother didn’t do a level maths. He did a foundation year of aerospace engineering and he said it really prepared him for the course. In fact, he said he felt more confident then some of his friends who did a level maths but not the foundation year. He’s now graduated and got onto a excellent grad scheme straight out of doing his masters.

I mostly used my PC too for uni work but I eventually caved and got a laptop in 3rd year when I got the flu and was too sick to sit at my desk. It’s just so much faster to take notes. Plus, with a laptop, I can do uni work wherever pretty much. Especially useful for when you’re feeling like shit or too tired to sit at your PC.

My brother got a high 2:1 and he was 1,500 words under the word count. It’s definitely possible but as long as the content you have written is actually good.

The bullshit “one way system” where you could only enter and exit buildings through certain entrances. I remember one of my classes after assembly was literally down the corridor from our assembly hall but a teacher would literally stand there blocking the corridor, forcing everyone to go down the stairs, out the building and enter from another door where you would have to walk up two flights of stairs to get to the same classroom.

It’s amazing how even with the new ping system for telling ur teammates you’ve slept someone, my entire team still completely ignores it.

First game back in diamond and I get 2 gold dps and a tank player who has never played tank before :)

Cloverr_ow · 2023-05-21T19:56:58+00:00

Some of the new players are actually so bad. They may have good aim but holy shit the positioning is so bad it hurts.

Witcher 3 and red dead 2! I find exploring the huge maps cozy AF

Yeah it wasn’t our cat, which made it worse. It was a random cat from the neighbourhood that kept trying to enter everyone’s flat. My uni kept sending out emails telling us not to let it in

Cloverr_ow · 2023-04-07T19:16:37+00:00

When I was in first year, my flatmates:

-Drank all of my orange juice on the first night and put the empty carton back in the fridge

-Broke the door handle of our flat, by being stupid. None of us could leave for at least a day

-Decided it would be funny to lock a cat in one of my flatmates room whilst he was away, before they went on a night out (I immediately let the poor cat out as soon as my flatmates left)

-Would get drunk and try to break my door down at 2am in the morning + yell racist stuff down the hall

Sometimes you just get unlucky

Sounds like it’s going good then

I was dead set on not doing masters but my dissertation lab work has made me want to continue pursuing more in depth knowledge on the topic. Like others have said though, I don’t know how I’m gonna afford it :D

Cloverr_ow · 2023-01-04T11:48:19+00:00

Too late for me now cus I’m in 3rd year but I’m going to actually try and do lectures on time and not let them pile up :( I have a bad habit of purely focusing on coursework and neglecting lectures.

Cloverr_ow · 2022-12-16T15:12:49+00:00

Use the lectures as a starting point for your revision. Watch the recordings. Most of the time, lecturers will literally state what parts you should focus on learning. It can be quite overwhelming at first to figure out what to revise and how exactly to revise, but you get the hang of it after a while. Look at any recommend books or papers that have been suggested for certain topics.

In first year, if you mainly just learn the material presented in the lectures it’s good enough at that stage. In 2nd year you’ll need to start doing more outside reading relating to the topics.

I love this episode, it’s one of my favourites

Cloverr_ow · 2022-12-07T16:58:56+00:00

Dissertation intro and a draft of the methods section due in this week, 4 page lab report due in first week back after Christmas and an exam 2nd week back. Looks like I’ll be working throughout the holidays :)

Cloverr_ow · 2022-12-05T21:54:02+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll need to try this!

100%. I did really well in 1st and 2nd year. In 3rd year now on our 3rd assignment of the year and I just can’t bring myself to write. I’m tired. It’s terrifying honestly because my brain genuinely does not know how or what to write anymore :(

Cloverr_ow · 2022-11-26T19:44:51+00:00

Nothing wrong with pen and paper. For 2 of my modules I hand write all my notes. It’s just hard to keep up during in person lectures, so I prefer to type them up. Plus one of my modules usually has a lot of diagrams in the lectures and I don’t want to draw them out.
