A wee update from Scottyland.

My timetable has now been found out. It's not that bad. I'm in University for 13.5 hours a week, with about three hours of that being breaks, so all in all it should not be too taxing ( Read more... )

how you getting on with the accent? i'm leaving for UNI in the morning, so most likely my course doesnt even start for another week or so!

I am gradually getting used to the accent, though there are some things people say that I just go, "What?" and they say it three or four times and I still don't get it then someone else says it and it finally hits home. Some of the stronger accented people are also very hard to understand but as I say I am getting used to it gradually. It's all a learning process. I also spoke to a 4th year Computer Games Technology student who is English and he hasn't picked up the Scottish accent at all so I am glad to hear that and hopefully I won't either, or maybe I will and it will be an interesting twist to my personality, who knows!

hehe! my dad wants me to go to ubi in scotland or preferbly dublin,that could be a very intereting time! 3 years over there would be an experience! byt doubt i will get in,plus i told dad that i would go if he found the course there and if he paid for the accomodation and flights to england to see ppl again!

Sounds like he's going to be out of pocket a lot if he agrees to that! Hope he does! :) Ciao for now.

Looking forward to learning C? If there's a psychiatric institute nearby, check yourself in *now*. =:-P

It'll be fucking awesome. Not as fun as flash though.

i have to learn java this year and c next year...
There is one thing i really like about this uni... we get 4.6mega bytes/second download on a 10mb connnection.
though no porn or file sharing software :(

Re: java dawsmonkee October 8 2004, 01:35:38 UTC

I have to learn java at some stage too, learning flash mx and c/c++ at first though. Uni internet connections are all great, I ran a speed test on this uni's line yesterday when everyone was on and it said the connection speed was 7MB or something like that, and then I tested it downloading two files at once, each got 2MB/Sec or so while everyone else was still using the net, it's awesome.
