lol Juno!!!

Yes I remember the lovely smells of the lab, when I think back to my time as a synthetic chemist, I can still smell the smells of the lovely (Toluene ) and the yukky (Thiophenol ).

Yes I am.

Oh yeah and thanks for removing my comment from your myspace profile, I can see where I am not wanted.

Yes matt I am, I used to work in the lab as a synthetic chemist and often did large-scale reactions.

Accident and Emergency, where you have to sit for at least 4 hours with groaning people until a triage nurse can assess you in about 30 seconds and you go out and wait for another 3 hours to see a doctor.

indeed.

very.

Well I think the team mentioned it but dunno what's gonna happen.

deiseal, you should be fine, I have inhaled worse than that, in fact I am suprised that I can still smell things.

If you are still feeling off today, please go to your GP or the A&E.

Sixkitten, the more you stress about being left behind, the worse you will feel and the more demotivated you will get. It's a vicious cycle.

I agree with aliby, don't even compare yourself to the FT students and DON'T try and keep up. Just work at the rate you can cope to work at. Don't forget FT students (like myself) have only to do our own work and not try and raise money to be there in the first place. I greatly admire you for that and I'm sure other people on here do, so please don't lose hope.

Bath is pretty, don't know much about the uni though

I think ebay has a lot to answer for

...doesn't work in the evening and at weekends?

I think it stops me from getting stressed and trying to runaway (by foot) to Scotland.

Or am I just a lazy so-and-so?

I like the weekends to be for me to do whatever I want with my bloke (if hes not too busy galavanting around London with his friends).

no its me.

I don't see how ULUG's post is insulting, I found it really interesting. By jojo saying that all african students are good students would be for a british person saying that all british students are good, which is a load of crap. There are some good students and some bad students and thats life.

I don't know much about the progression of "black" students in higher education, only what I read. I have come across articles in the news about school children, where afro-caribean boys are considered to be poor performing. I don't know if thats a cultural thing but I'd like to think that the ones that do well at school and go on to higher education want to do well and will do so.

I always know when my iron is at a low, my hair starts falling out and I feel really lethargic and cant get myself out of bed.

I'm a veggie and no meat for me either. I've just accepted that I need to take my iron supplements everyday. Until I start the menopause anyway!
