yoda Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Picked up my fifth unconditional the day. That's pretty good. What you applying for? I never got any unconditionals and actually had to work in S6 (2 crash Highers, 1 Higher and 1 Advanced Higher ) so I wish I knew the feeling 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I now have something like 6.5 to 7.5 hours of scheduled classes a week. Two of them are 'interactive lectures' with the great Finlay himself. Get in. Managed to get in Finlay's tutorial group for History of Scotland 1832-1914, a happy day. Got 65 for the Modern Political Thought essay and 74 for Contemporary British Governance. Happy with the former and shocked at the latter, I did the whole thing in one night! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 5A's last year which was a massive surprise consider I was predicted all B/C's.Really struggling this year though, failing NABs and everything. Realised at christmas that I should've at the start of the year but there's no point now. Edited January 29, 2011 by ForzaDundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Bump. I'm actually attempting to work this semester. I've already chosen the three questions for the three essays I need to get done for weeks eight and ten. Going to the library tomorrow to get hammered into some reading for them. f**k it, I'm even going to properly prepare for my Politics and HRM tutorials. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Bump. I'm actually attempting to work this semester.

Going to the library tomorrow to get hammered into some reading for them. f**k it, I'm even going to properly prepare for my Politics and HRM tutorials. I've vowed to have this sort of forward planning every year since I started Secondary school. Despite that, with scarce few exceptions, I have almost always finished something no earlier than 24 hours before its deadline and have seldom started an individual piece of work (c.f. group work) properly more than a week before it's been due in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I got 5A's last year which was a massive surprise consider I was predicted all B/C's.Really struggling this year though, failing NABs and everything. Realised at christmas that I should've at the start of the year but there's no point now. Even if you fail everything in sixth year (I assume you're doing some SYS?) you will still benefit from it, as any first year science stuff will seem like a piece of piss as you'll remember it, even if you fucked it up the first time around. ----------------------- The advert for the training place I want just went up, so need to spend a few hours making sure it's absolutely perfect. Will even hand the application to the recruiters in person, rather than emailing it as I can't trust IT in this instance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I received a letter inviting me to interview for Psyc nursing but have turned it down, decided it was the wrong time for us as a family for me to embark on a uni course. Was delighted to get to interview though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose Moron Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Anyone ever transferred uni's before? Does it have to be done through UCAS? If anyone has any tips for me, I'd be very grateful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I got my first UCAS reply today. A conditional for Herriot Watt University to study Information Systems. I originally applied to enter at year 3 but they have changed entry to year 2, it's my least favourite choice anyway so I'm not too bothered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Picking tutorial times for this semester today was fun. The co-ordinator for my American history module managed to tell us that our first lecture of the semester would be taking place at four different times, in two different places. Good start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The co-ordinator for my American history module managed to tell us that our first lecture of the semester would be taking place at four different times, in two different places. Good start. Gotta love Stirling Uni. I picked what I wanted my seminar times to be as soon as the timetables came up a few weeks ago. Logged onto WebCT yesterday morning and found they're not running with one of the seminar times they said they were, so had to pick a new one, which meant rethinking my whole timetable as the new one clashed with another one... Pain in the chops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEETHING Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Congrats to everyone getting unconditionals; it's a nice feeling knowning that you can afford to piss about in 6th year (not that it stopped me getting three As in my Advanced Highers, of course ). I've got a couple of months of my postgrad Diploma left, then the best days of my life are over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_binos Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Any of the Stirling Uni lads fancy setting up a 6-aside fitba' team for the games coming up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Any of the Stirling Uni lads fancy setting up a 6-aside fitba' team for the games coming up? K.Thacker Aye I was saying to Dave yesterday. Try and get a team in. It gets played one night a week on the pitches outside the sports centre. If you have a sports membership it only costs a fiver a head for the full thing. Score odd otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I'd be up for that. Would depend what night it was on though. Edited February 15, 2011 by Gaz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 How many people on here are at Stirling? Seems like a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 You can pick a night between Monday and Thursday and its from 5-7. Monday isn't much use to me as its meant to be my day off and I play Glasgow Area 5's ( - G.Campbell) on a Monday as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 How many people on here are at Stirling? Seems like a lot. Must be 9 or 10 of us overall aye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thursday would be the day that would suit me the most, I think - don't finish Uni until 5pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
