Yes - there are always those people that seem to know everything about anything (you know those that can answer every question in a pub quiz?)
People don't believe me that I know nothing - just more about brains than the average person!

Hehe.. its like the person who found out I was doing a neuroscience degree and spent the next 15 minutes sitting in front of me saying "Go on, tell me what I'm thinking, what can you see, what am I thinking about???"

Umm... so I got a letter in the post and it says that I got the position as long as... I get a 2.1 and I secured funding. Which I thought was secured. So confused....

Cool as far as I know I have funding and a supervisor - no degree as yet though

Please?

Anyway, after speaking to a certain supervisor he offered me the project, I accepted, will start in october, get my money quarterly etc..

I'm now applying to the school - can they turn me down?

See, I was born in Germany, have a Dutch passport and have lived in England for over 14 years, never know who to support

England but as it'll be australia vs japan later, I'll be supporting australia for that match

Now, pineapple on pizza, that is an entirely different issue..

Thanks for all your replies.. I've mailed my tutor and he seems happy to write me a reference so I've just passed on his details. The only lecturers I got on well with are the two that are already referees - for all the other lecturers I'm merely one student of about 200, if you get me.. certainly none I've spoken to personally. Anyway.. I hope this works out...
As I said I've been accepted by the supervisor, wonder what is going to happen now...

Well, I've just finished my undergrad degree at the University of Leeds.. and hopefully I'll be starting my PhD at the same place in October

Hmm, bananas with chocolate caramel.. I could imagine this being VERY good...

Academic. I e-mailed my personal tutor.. may seem like an obvious choice, but I have this feeling that he doesn't like me... lets say we don't quite see eye to eye. Plus I haven't seen him since 2nd year. Anyway, if he says no, its REALLY time to panic...
