Yup, my Personal Statement is pretty much done actually, they had us start before the holidays.
I'm going to try keeping local also, while I appreciate there can be some fun events for stayovers, I don't think I'm capable of dealing with the amount of potential noise and havoc that could come of it.

Ah cool, my course and tutors were extremely unorganized and all over the place before summer, so we are are starting somewhat late. Yeah basically my whole Facebook feed is full of "freshers" parties photos and whatnot. Whilst some of it looks quite fun, im not in the mood to lodge and party with total strangers, though my friend keeps trying to persuade me to join him on going to Dundee or Glasgow. I'd just get homesick after like a week so i'm just gonna settle for Northumbria if I do actually end up going.

Hm, I feel sorry for the Medics, Vets and Dentists, they have an earlier deadline to keep to.

+ Today is nowhere near as packed as yesterday.
- I'm going to have to play through rayman 3's fairy council levels for the 5th time because my game didn't save. Unskipable cutscenes and everything. Urgh.

Oh yeah I remember it being very early for them. Is it like January the something or other for the majority other courses, or am I just remembering incorrectly? XD

I can't remember the deadlines for UCAS, however I know my college deadlines are 27th September for Oxbridge, mid-October for Medics, and I think late November for the rest. They're quite the busy bunch, dealing with our personal statements and references from our teachers, eesh, filling out that online form though...it's not difficult, but you certainly can feel the weight of it all.

Oh he was an actual employee there? Cool stuff!

Wearing my Origins shirt sometimes brings nice conversations up when I walk around town.

Did you find why it wasn't saving? Also, you would hate to try to do the perfect combos on this game then, I restarted the level 32 times trying to do a single combo until I got tired of seeing Murfy explaining the combo mode. :boon:

+/- Broke up with girlfriend, I don't feel anything about that.
+ she took it good and were still best friends. :)
+ lot of conversation going on RPC.

+ Lots of interesting conversation on RPC in combination with getting my hair styled and nearly having finished a paid four-day musical project is putting me in a great mood.

That FUCKING CUTSCENE! After the 3rd time I got to that cutscene I was like. Well i'm just gonna do some shit while I wait for you to shut up. I then just took off my headphones and walked off standing around like a idiot for a minute and a half waiting for it to just END!

Indeed, should someone ever hack Rayman 3 and make it moddable, skipping that cutscene, that one, useless, time wasting and boring cutscene, would be a mod I'd really love.
