lindeh Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Wonder if you'll still be happy by Christmas. First Year Sucks. But it gets better. I have to give a lecture at you guys' induction. Shitting myself first year most certainly does suck! i'm really hoping it's gonna get better (goin into 2nd year vis com) originally applied for 2nd year painting (after doing 1st year at dundee) but they thought it'd 'benefit' me if i did 1st year again- complete waste of time!(just to be clear, it sucks from a 'having to do the same thing all over again' point of view) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodast Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Tell me more! Actually it's a good thing I didn't go because I didn't really read about it properly until recently. The Slavonic Studies course involves study of translated literature from various periods of Polish, German, Czech and Russian history alongside the culture and stuff at the time.In Slavonic Languages and Literatures you learn one out of Czech, Polish and Russian and get a year abroad with it... after the first two years of that, you can incorporate more culture and history into it if you want to, along with the language. I think that's how it works anyway This year I'm hopefully going to be going to live in Prague, but I'm reapplying for Slavonic Languages and Literatures for next year, Glasgow's just about the only UK uni to do something like that, although UCL has an awesome Eastern Europe department (you can do Serbo-Croat too ) and you can do Czech at Sheffield and Bristol...

Metarie Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Romanticism and Virgins sounds cool.Actually it's 'romanticism' and 'virgins, knights and viragos' but a whole semester on the coruption of innocent young girls in literature would be quite interesting...

And did a first year at Dundee? Would have thought that would have been good enough to get you straight to third year at grays. Oh well thats Grays for ya. Got to give a talk to new First Years at their Induction next week. Slightly nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly nervous nah i completed 1st year at dundee with pretty high marks, applied for 2nd year painting at grays (wanted to move home) but was told i'd benefit from re-doing first year- meh! so it was pretty much a waste of a year!

lindeh Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 nah there was still painting spaces- hence why i got an interview but im kinda glad i didnt get into 2nd year straight away, i despise the way they teach it at grays! then again, vis com doesnt seem much better along the tutoring lines!

Tav Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 2nd Year BSc Engineering Design @ RGU. Not only did I sell myself short and go to Engineering School instead of Grays I also took a BSc instead of MEng/BEng <so I could still go to Grays for a bit>...this may turn out to be a bad choice. It certainly is boring as fuck 90% of the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing personal but grow a fucking back bone and do what you actually want to do not what makes someone else happy.(I appologise but i've fucking had enough of people worrying more about other people's happiness then their own to last me a lifetime and i only had to put up with it for nine months) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 1st year wall papering at collegeAlso doing some computer modules, Internet Explorer 3 for beginners, Introduction to Word Perfect for DOS, Advanced mouse controls and Electric Screwdrivers for beginners.Dunno how its gonna help me be a 'chief of complicated surgeory' but its the only courses I qualified for....Next year I think I'll pack in the wall papering (4 years of it sounds hell) and do lightbulb fitting....

beeker Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 nah, i did the lightbulb fitting and the year placement is boooooring. If you go to aberdeen University you can do a module in lightbulb fitting, one in wallpapering., some tiling... and no doubt a course in some form of Psychology. ... and then go work in B&Q yay!
