Merton College, studying English Literature, I wanted to opt for Geography but was basically bullied into EL by my teacher, on the basis that I didn't drop a mark in my coursework or my exam... which is fair enough, but I'm still a bit worried as my hearts not really in it, I'm good at it rather than in to it, if you see what I mean. As for the other am, thanks, accepted and returned. Let sleeping dogs lie and all that. |

Birds are on of the biggest things, A good array of tidy lookers and you know most of them are not so dense they can't speak (no offence to some of the girls that go out in town, obviuosly), and there's no 16 year olds

Let sleeping dogs lie and all that. 3 A's or are they still going on the interview and offering 2 E's - I know someone who got in to read Geology and didn't even get his 2 E's What's the first thing a geography graduate says after leaving Uni? Do you want fries with that?  |

Do you want fries with that? Two A's and a B is the offer (for a confirmed place) they've made me, altough they've said that such is my record in the subject, they'll consider me regardless of grades I should get those provided I don't mess about too much... which is proving a problem since the common room's acquisition of a pool table and table football :? |

Manchester is one of my "backup" choices... if you can call it that... I'd love to go to uni in Manchester or Liverpool rather than Oxford, but unfortunately prestige rules and all that

Clearly not near enough to Swindon to make a difference to our local government
