Haha. I was definitely expecting something considerably more dramatic. Sucks about the sentimental tree though (I mean that although it sounds kinda sarcastic. haha).
May well be, although tbh student finance in the UK is kinda awkward sometimes. Most people get paid just enough to afford their rent and then have to rely on overdrafts for living outside of that, but it's definitely really nice that we don't pay tuition fees until after we've graduated. I'm about... maybe it takes me a half hour or so in total to get in, but it's not really a big deal since buses here are so regular. Like literally every minute or two. Plus most people live a good 20 minutes out anyway; this uni has three campuses, two of which are close in but the third and biggest of which is a way out. And yeah... you're telling me @ the full-on alcoholic thing, haha. I'm pretty sure i have a problem these days. Plus in this city it's not juuuuuust alcohol that's all over the place and yeah. SELF-CONTROL NEEDED.
It's pretty good for me yeah. There's a fair amount of organic chemistry involved but not like, to the level of a full-on chemist; we can't go into it in that much detail since we need to learn how to apply it all to biological systems too, figure out what's going on, stuff like that. There's a degree of pharmacology stuff involved too but mostly that's for people doing pure pharmacology courses; what I mostly look at is protein structure and function and what happens to them in mutation and what that leads onto later. Although I'm interested in quite a lot of general cell biology too, so I'm not 100% sure yet on if I'll be going into a biochemistry field specifically or something in cell biology. I suppose on the bigger picture it's all similar enough stuff though, haha. I'll stop talking now. 8D
Oh man I'd actually love to go travelling in some way. Some day when I have like... money, I'll make it happen.
Hmm, maybe you're right - although I'd not say there's much in particular about the label 'teenage' as opposed to just generally young. Then again, I'm a teenager still - so what do I know, haha. One day I'm sure I'll look back at myself now and be like "haha, you thought you knew it all back then". And oooo. Best of luck with it then; if you still visit here often do keep me updated on anything that happens with it. It'd be cool to know someone who actually wrote a novel rather than saying they would but never got it done.
Yeah Audy's being really good with stuff, so is Gav. I tend to just look at their code and come up with ideas of my own and see if they work and go crying to them when it doesn't. 8D
