Awesome dude, are the conditions pretty tough or what?

 

Now you can spend some more time in Teviot without getting signed in.

Need to get ABB on my grade profile, A in maths. Looks like I'm heading for an AAA at the moment (although only halfway through the course) . Got 100% on my maths exams last week \o/

That's just because I helped, yeah? I expect a proportionate share of your eventual earnings. Well done. What are the two other grades in?

Not sure exacty how they're split, but it's the physics part if the course. We only do the physics pertinent to engineering, so things like dynamics, statics, strength of materials, thermodynamics etc.

 

Also some computer based stuff using SolidWorks.

 

You're share will be a pint next time I see you!

Sounds like fun. My favourite classes were physics and maths in school. It lasted a while in college, too, until I missed a month or so and founds things way too hard after that, especially the differentiation and integration stuff.

I've never manage to acutally attend classes on a regular basis before this year.

 

So far since the end of August i've missed 3 and a bit days. 3 because i was on holiday and a bit because i was taping black bags over the back window of my car.

 

Turns out that attending classes + doing revision makes it easier to pass the exams!
