Yeah, schools usually delete accounts after you have left unless they know that you are going back into 6th form. Its for the same reasons that your complete browser history isn't kept, media files are deleted and also because several hundred new accounts have to be made for the new intake.
I was going to delete the stuff off of mine so it wouldn't end up full by the time I've been there for 7 years when I've finished 6th form, so they've saved me a job :lol:
went out for a meal last night to this restaurant which i really like. the food was really nice and normally i cant eat anywhere near the whole lot and i feel sick lol but yesterday i ate it all and wasnt fullup!
are you getting excited about it yet? and it makes me happy that i finally know of a uni who starts earlier than us lol! everyone else i know always starts a week or 2 after us!Quote:

I think I'm going to sort out my paper work and file them, have a good tidy up and decide which clothes and books I need in the short term until my parents come down again. I don't know how much room I'll have so there's no point taking everything and then having to sort through what I don't have room for when I get there.
I'm trying to change my bank account details on student finance but it's not letting me :mad:
do you start your freshers week that week or are you just allowed to move in earlier? thats what i was like when i first moved down, didnt know what would be in my room, how much space i would have etc. luckily i was given one of the biggest rooms in my house which was good cos i have a load of crap lol (im sure they only gave me that room cos i was the only girl and they assumed girls need more space!). but i had to go back home the weekend after so just picked up the rest of my stuff. things like i wasnt sure if there would be a mirror in my room or whether id need to bring my own, would i have enough room for all my clothes. im sure since ive been at uni, more and more of my stuff has gradually moved itself out of my room at home and down to uni instead!Quote:

i'm moving back in two weeks on the train, should be interesting!
Just been working this week went to town yesterday did a bit of shopping and watched telly and the football. It was good. Today going to the sailing club to fix up our boat for the race next week.
Freshers' week starts on Saturday for Stoke campus (where I am) and Sunday for Stafford until the following Sunday. I start the course on the 22nd Sept.Quote:

How long did it take you you to set up your internet connection in halls?
im moving back in about 2weeks as well i think. theres no way id be able to move back down going on the train lol!Quote:

lol my mum was like that, she bought me a george foreman in the middle of this year cos they were in a sale and were really cheap and she bought one for at home and thought i might like one too, ive not used it much, same as the toastie maker i bought when i started! i didnt have an ensuite when i lived on campus cos those rooms were over £1000 more expensive than the other rooms, but the house we lived in last year and this year all have ensuites and after having one i dont think i could go back to sharing lol!
erm obviously it might be different for different unis but i think it only took about 1hr to set up my internet. once the uni had made sure id paid for the internet they gave me a connection lead to connect the internet to my laptop and a disc to install it onto my laptop and it was pretty straightforward. the bits that took the time was that they had to run a full system scan to check for viruses and i had to set up a user area on my laptop cos it wouldnt let you connect til your computer had a password to get onto it. some of my housemates had a problem with theirs but mine was quite quick. i think uni internet connections are gonna be as straightforward as possible
Oh thats great. I was thinking I might be offline for several days.
Three showers between twelve girls isn't my idea of fun so I opted for the en suite. It is nearly £1k more than standard accommodation but at least I can spend as long as I like in the shower and leave things in the bathroom without them getting nicked. Standard halls are single sex flats only whereas ensuites are mixed flats which is great, don't think I could live with 12 girls.
Ooo So Abigail when are you moving down?
I luckily managed to send Dad my homework so he could print it for me.. The whole comp. thing happened again but this time Dad tried it and it wouldn't work and then when I tried it, it works.. Haha! So been on the comp doing more work and stuff - I will use it while I can!..
Just did my Maths homework and I have no clue what to do, teacher is rubbish (Have 3 teachers!.. :() so he didn't explain what we should be doing exactly as he left everything a bit too late. But I tried my best and did everything I could.. Can't believe it was Day 2 and we got homework like this.. Well least we were warned :p
I've had no homework yet. We didn't do much in lessons either, we only had to get a pen out in two of them and in one of them we were playing a game. The text books for the course haven't arrived so we will be starting it late. There aren't even enough on order now as more people than the school had anticipated opted in at the last minute.
I guess we will get a pile of work this week though.
When I saw my friend at lunch on Friday she had homework from both lessons that she'd been to up until that point. She didn't understand her Maths either - she ended up doing it after we were allowed to leave tutorial (if we don't have assembly or one to one tutoring all we have to do is go to the room and get marked in, then we can go,) and she said she'd just guess it. She's got the teacher I had for GCSE and he doesn't explain stuff, just writes things on the board as if he's doing it for exercise. He basically patronised everyone who didn't get an A* saying that they would have to work their butts off then set them the work. I would think everyone struggles for a bit considering the jump from GCSE.
We have two teachers for each subject. I have Economics with a Maths teacher tomorrow. The teacher I had on Friday told us that he would be doing the parts of the course that involve Maths, but I hope he actually knows something about Economics too! The Maths part can't be outrageously hard as we didn't even have to have a C in GCSE Maths to take Economics.
i wouldnt think itd take days to get the internet cos its already set up for the rooms, you just have to connect your computer to it. in our oncampus accomodation they had single sex and mixed houses of both shared and ensuite. i shared 1 shower and 2 toilets with 4 boys, the boys left all their toiletries in the bathroom but i kept mine in my room and just took them in when i needed them which was quite annoying! thats what i like about my ensuite now that i can spend as long as i like in the shower! and its a good thing really as me and my housemates take ages to get ready and are always late for things so if we had to share a bathroom it would be a nightmare lol! i dont think i could live with 12 girls either! everyone kept asking me how i managed to live with 4 boys with me being the only girl but it wasnt that bad, at least there was no bitchiness!Quote:

I made a cake to take into school for tomorrow for my friend who turned 18 :)
She was really down the other day because quite alot of people dropped out of her meal and she was upset so hopefully it'll cheer her up if we put some banners and balloons up in the block and I made her a cake too :) Just like my Nans :D
Went to my firend then with the girls and we ordered pizza and watched 2 of her films : Fear (which I;ve never seen but was good if very weird!) and The Notebook.. I can't help but cry everytime and we were all arguing over whether they're surrounded by geese, ducks or swans when theyre in the boat.. we jsut left it in the end haha
Going to see Lee Evans tomorrow! I am soooo excited! :D:D
I jsut ahve this bad feeling our friend who got our tickets hasn't ordered enough tickets to people, because when we ordered them in January there were 13 of us going but now there's 14.. so I'll have to ask him tomorrow yn yr ysgol :)

I've been to the dentist this afternoon. I had to have a filling because one of my teeth has gone soft. My first ever filling :(
Aww, I have had to have quite a few fillings from quite early on, although I did not eat lots of sweets and I cleaned them twice a day. I had to have some extracted when I was small because my jaw was not big enough to accommodate my teeth. I do take very good care of my teeth now and try to clean my teeth as often as possible during the day as well as in the morning and before going to bed.
ive never had any fillings :D my sis had to have some teeth out before she had her braces cos her mouth wasnt big enough for all of them!
Argh!! New timetable and now Mondays for me are 9-5, my ballet class starts at 5, but im quiting anyway after our dance show, well just ballet.
Im happy about the groups though, doesnt feel the same or as good yet as last year, but theres more people I know :)
I love my tutor im sooo glad Ive got him cos hes really helpful
I was really annoyed today cos we had to go to the theatre to ave a massive talk and got our ID cards and timetables and then my names was read out in a longish list to stay behind while the others got a break.Basically we have heavy timetables as we are carrying on with all four and they were trying to get us to drop one more or less. I got my way round the guy that spoke to me really easily lol so it was okay
Lee Evans was amazing!!!!!!
Soooooooo funny! My jaws are killing and I've never laughed so much in 3 hours!
We got there and went for food on the high street in Cardiff first, then we all stopped into the Spar to buy some sweeties and I bought chewing gums and a freddo and the boy serving was a young turkish boy I think, he was young but older if you get my meaning? Haha and he went to hand me my Freddo but kept hold of it and wouldn't let go :( then he put it by the till so I couldn't get it and then he gave it to me.. he did it to all of us girls, but we were all jsut like :( nooo we want our sweets! Haha it was quite funny though.
I've had such an amazing time tonight :D It's really cheered me up, we were so close to him aswell and could have gone up and shoook his hand but we didn't because we didn't want to look silly if he jsut walked off ahah but yeah it was hilarious!!
So pleased you had a great time :D
glad you had a good time, i never been to see live comedy but its something i really want to do as i love comics i got loads of DVDs.
I'm just being kept busy at work and thats as bout as exciting it gets although i did start to write a list about what i need to take back to uni, i got as far as sleeping back, i pod, laptop, and phone
sounds great! glad you had a good time :)Quote:

I think I'm getting too carried away with my uni shopping, I don't go for about 3 weeks, and I spent the entire day at stretford mall :lol: Too much stuff for my space!
Had a good day today, the weather was great, sunny and warm and I started back with my bellydancing lessons tonight, starting to learn a dance with burning candles :eek: Obviously, we don't light the candles just yet but will have to for a public performance in November, I am bricking myself already :sick:
College was okay.......... but HELP!!
Stupid UCAS, so im trying to register and Ive got to the part where they send you an email and you get a code so when you log in you can verify your email..................well it hasnt sent. It says it has but I havent got it. Ive looked in all my folders so I went on an clicked so they send me another one. The first time I did this, well tryed was 8 hours ago and Ive just asked for another code, but havent got ityet :(
We've had torrential rain most of the day. We've got thunder and lightening now :D I can't believe how dark it is, its just black.
Have you blocked emails from UCAS? If it doesn't work, ask the person in change of UCAS applications at your college to log in and verify it. They can access everybody's application.Quote:
