[Disturbing Facts About 9/11...]

PP, why don't you actually post something of your own rather than repeatedly referring to scaremongering sites?

[Disturbing Facts About 9/11...]

The other problem is that ALL of these kind of posts by PP are merely copied and pasted by hysterical websites from all over the web.

[Disturbing Facts About 9/11...]

Fully agreed Ian. PP, your viewpoints are controversial at the best of times, but posting this blog on this day is incredibly disrespectful. No matter who the cause was, the bottom line is that thousands of lives were lost and no amount of political points scoring is going to change that.

[First "proper" Week At Uni]

[quote name='cheeky_monkey' date='16 October 2010 - 07:38 '] Ah the joys of Uni life..or polytechnic in my case..i left in 1991 (1987-91).. i only ever remember havin one 9 am start and that was on a monday..wednesday was a free day because i played for the 1st team at football in the university leagues.

Heres a tip if you want that was given to me before i started and was true for me...the people you meet in your first week are the people you spend the next four years trying to avoid!..lol

Also if your next four years are anything like mine they will be probably some of the best times of your life..mind you i did spend a lot more time in the bar and on the football pitch than i did in lectures. You make some great lifelong friends and meet some interesting people.

Hope you have as much fun as i did..good luck! [/quote]

Thanks

So far I love my flatmates and the friends I have made on my course, but I am barely 2 weeks in yet....

[First "proper" Week At Uni]

[quote name='Paul B' date='16 October 2010 - 00:34 '] Hi Nick,

Great to see you have settled in well and enjoying uni life!

I'm now about to start Week 6 (!) here and have a reading week coming up for Week 7, so will be halfway through my first term already! Loving it here though, the course I'm doing has been good and fairly basic so far but I am sure it will get harder very soon. Got a nice timetable too - two 9am starts and a 4 day weekend

Flatmates are great, and meeting loads of new people on the course so don't regret giving up home and job for uni! You're lucky to have catered accomodation! Plenty of my flatmates could do with that judging by the food they burn haha!

Glad you are enjoying it too! Argh, your timetable is far nicer than mine. My spring timetable is far worse - I have 4 9am starts!! I don't think I will be having a reading week, got my first set of Maths and Physics problem sheets though - nothing too difficult though so far but I am absolutely certain it will crank up a few gears. Haven't done a great deal of Meteorology yet, mainly learning about the different layers of the atmosphere and basic satellite imagery analysis.

Half of my flat are Midlanders so I don't feel quite so isolated . I'm so glad I'm not self catered, I am eating far better than a lot of them by the sounds of it. We don't get evening meals at weekends though so we can sample the takeaway cuisines of Reading . Getting up for breakfast hasn't been easy at times though, despite the fact that breakfast is on until midday!!

[Preparing For Winter!]

Winter! Yayy =D

[A Level Results And Uni!]

Thanks guys. I am determined to see a tornado while in Oklahoma. I might even tag along with the NW lot in 2013, I will finish in May, meaning I can do a proper storm chase before I go home!

[A Level Results And Uni!]

Cheers Paul, yeah I can't wait, this time in 2 years I will be there!

[A Level Results And Uni!]

Thank you!

[A Level Results And Uni!]

Thanks to you all

[A Level Results And Uni!]

Well if I don't get any decent storms in Oklahoma then I give up

Well I went out, but town was so busy, everywhere was absolutely rammed. Was a disappointment really.

[One Foot In Reading...and The Uea Visit]

Well it's a legal requirement to aggressively drink alcohol as a student isn't it? Don't think I have much choice

[One Foot In Reading...and The Uea Visit]

Cheers Paul. Congrats on getting all your uni stuff sorted as well! I can't wait either, will be a totally new thing, will finally be surrounded by people who are as insane about the weather as I am

[quote name='Ian Brown' date='03 March 2010 - 22:15 '] Certainly I accept what has happened, high latitude blocking in the winter months that I thought no longer possible has occurred. There is not going to be a book. [/quote]

Fair play for admitting defeat Ian - you are far better than the Met Office in that respect!

[All Uni Offers Now Received =D]

Thanks coldfingers! Aha yes, my main aim is to understand some of the complicated posts in the model thread, some day!

[All Uni Offers Now Received =D]

Good luck with Oxford. A Geography degree from there will open a lot of promising routes!

Reading do a Meteorology course with a Science Foundation year for those who aren't quite up to scratch with their physics, so there are possibilities.

[All Uni Offers Now Received =D]

Thanks Sammie! Not yet, I have a pretty good idea though of who I am putting as firm and insurance.

I have been invited to a visit day to Reading on January 15th, so that will probably cement it as my firm choice. East Anglia will probably be my insurance, the only thing that puts me off about it though is that it takes about 4 days to get to Norwich, ridiculously far away!

[All Uni Offers Now Received =D]

Thanks Paul =]

[Ucas Form Completed And Sent, Now For The Waiting Game!]

Yeah I know, I thought the exact same thing when I first read that . I should bloody well hope we get replies by May 7th! I will be starting my exams just after that!

[Ucas Form Completed And Sent, Now For The Waiting Game!]

Congrats! Unfortunately not, but at least I have had no rejections I guess. Hopefully I will get another one this week - will be great if Reading respond soon.

[Ucas Form Completed And Sent, Now For The Waiting Game!]

[quote name='Paul B' date='22 November 2009 - 09:31 ']Nice one Nick!

I have completed my form now and sent it off, so the waiting game for me too! Feels strange knowing I am going to be an immature mature student![/quote]

Good luck! Still had only the one offer, no worries yet though! Do the immature and mature cancel each other out? [img]http://forum.netweather.tv/public/style_emoticons/default/unknw.gif[/img]

[Ucas Form Completed And Sent, Now For The Waiting Game!]

I am one of 6 in a roughly same size 6th form. It is extremely challenging but hugely worthwhile. the Further Pure modules are solid - especially FP2. Thankfully we have excellent teachers and a dedicated maths department to help us through it.

East Anglia have invited me to attend a visit day now, was originally 9th Dec, but unfortunately couldn't make that date. Rang them though and got a new date of March 10th, while away but at least I have a date! No more offers just yet/

[Ucas Form Completed And Sent, Now For The Waiting Game!]

Thanks =D, barring a disaster with my A Level results I should be going to uni next year now! Was going to put East Anglia as my insurance place with Reading as first, so hopefully they will respond soon.
