i dunno what kinda job im wanting, just know i cant do Decorating any more. im looking forward to studying coz im a book freak and it'll give my head a direction i hope. im not good at boredom,tend to get up to mischief, tbh i'd quite happily be a student/researcher till i pop my clogs. funny thing is strathclyde is the only uni i ever wanted into, its rep for politics is very good. outta curiosity how many hours a week were u in lectures/tutorials mate?

Indeed, the Social Science dept is great at Strathclyde. I wonder who's still there!
I am probably not the best example of a model student. I tended to go to Tutorials at a push, and never bothered with lectures (I would advise against this route!!!) Honestly as a mature student it is so much easier (I left as my family were in shit and had to move home but went back a few year later and enjoyed it when I was a tad maturer). If you go to lectures and tutorials you will be lucky to have around 20 hours or so as far as memory serves me. The more modules you take the more classes of course. I found when I went back that by just going to the lectures and tutorials I hardly had to do any studying at all. If you treat it as a 9-5, or 10-4 then you will fucking coast it geez. If you go to tutorial and lectures you'll probably end up with a Desmond, if you do a bit extra a 2:1 is easily achievable....I got a Desmond, lol.

i'd kinda planned on doing it like a job, when i was younger i tried to coast thru college but i always ended up in the fucking pub, fucked it totally up. my bro did a politics degree at stirling uni although he now teaches english abroad, hes just finished touring south america and is due back home on wednesday, first time i'll have seen him in 18 months. then he's off to Dubai for 2 years. i did pretty good with my essays and exam last year, 'A' average, although i should have pulled higher marks, it showed me what exactly i need to do though and where my failings lay.

Treat it like a job and you will A/ Find it more enjoyable, because you actually know what people are talking about, and you also don't feel like a toss wank who never goes to lectures and is in the pub all the time, and B/ Because it's more enjoyable, it's so much easier to learn and remember it. Like your college experience, I was the same as you at the start, I never went to anything, was always bombed out ma face, and when it came to studying I didn't know where to start and had about 3 pages of notes for every subject. All my dissertations in each subject basically said the same thing, lol. I sat Pyschology 3 times and still never passed it, and with that subject all you need to know is how to spell schizophrenia and you'll get a pass. Doing it that way is actually more stressfull than just getting up and going to the bloody lectures! lol.
