I do all my studies part time. It takes longer and is more expensive than full time study, but it allows me a deeper understanding of the material, as I can pace myself.
I am in the process of obtaining B.A (Philosophy) and B.Th (Scriptural studies) degrees. I am registered for a B.Com (management) as well, but I have lost interest in this. I might continue this degree in a few years time. |

I'm not going to uni. Instead I'm going to study musical theatre at stage school and get my qualifications as a dance teacher- its what I've always dreamed of and its finally coming true! Mx

Ah those days are well behind me, I just work at one now. Better paid but less fun!
Congrats to the talented Miranda! elendili, plastic explosives are easy, nice and inert and malleable, just stick a lump where you want it, insert a det and retire. We always used L2A1 dets as standard but the RP80 had a bit more kick. Sound the siren, wire up the detbox, press the button, bang. Ok, that was a bit simplified, but you get the picture!

I'm going to go to university next year (I'm grade 11 right now), and study Medieval Life & Literature, as well as French, and I don't know what else.

I'm planning to attend either Auburn University, the University of Alabama or Troy State University next fall. Probably Troy St. I'll major in pre-engineering at Troy and transfer to a major university after 2 years to major in civil engineering.

I'm at Queen's University in first-year taking a medial (double major) History/Political Studies BA Honours degree. I'm (fortunetly) not paying my undergrad tuition, though the University constantly threatens deregulated tuition. That would be bad...the results of incompetant government. But university itself is great, well except for the work. Good beer though.

I did a BA Communications with English Lit & Business Communication as majors, but enjoyed my specs more - Journalism, Visual Studies & Media Management. Some of the subjects I took along the way are now starting to haunt me, I guess I am now finally starting to realise the validity of some of them, like Political Studies, Philosophy & Industrial Psychology.

I will start hischool this coming Fall (yes, becasue the leaves all fall down...) I am really scared. I have no idea what I want to do the rest of my life! And there are several schools I have to choses from. One is a Performing Arts school. I would really like to take modern dance there, but I have no experience in any sort of dance. Good luck ya'll!
