True if that ever happened but do you ever see a bus full of people? we dont round here

Buses 'round here tend to be pretty full, I was on a few today (5 seperate ones) and a couple had a fair few people on them, though this was mid-day.

It's certainly not feasible to get to Runcorn daily though (where I went today) so there's no way I can apply for that, though I did get some nice photo's today, which I shall post later.

Thats a shame, so your looking else where now

Well I'll obviously keep looking but now is the point where they start to consider if we can progress straight to 3rd year without the placement (though it results in a different degree title, and one with a year of experience doesn't look as good) Of course I will hopefully find something before then, but if I can't I need to start thinking about going back and doing my final year, which would be a bit of a rush to get into as we have a single big project to consider, something which people about to start 3rd year off placement have already thought about. I have a friend who just finished his placement so I'd have someone I knew on the course to attend lectures with etc though it's a pity he's moving to Liverpool for the year else I could have got the train with him in a morning instead of being bored alone lol

Anyway, still looking, just have to see what happens

Well I got a letter from my uni today, there was a board who met on Thursday to decide if we could progress to final year without placement, and as I haven't found one they decided I could go straight through. It means a less fancy degree title, and having to miss out on graduating with my mates - well, I do have 1 friend I'll be studying with this year, and hopefully make more - but it will be hard settling straight in and getting into the big final year project, not to mention having studied quite different things in my 1st and 2nd year as the people who I'll be going back with (they changed it a lot the year I started :rolleyes: )

Got to start deciding on what my final project will be now. It runs all year and is worth the equivelant credits of 3 modules. There were 2 core modules (compulsory) which are User Interface Design and Multimedia Development Workshop, and to make up to 120 credits I had to pick 5 more and I chose Virtual Reality, Advanced Computer Graphics, Multimedia Databases, Contemporary Issues In IT and Computing In Education. The others which I didn't choose were Computer Security, Expert Systems, Multimedia Networking, Wireless Networks, Mobile Computing, Forensic Computing andDistributed Systems. I could have picked 2 more from those, but I'd have to pay for them and it's more work, not to mention that I struggled picking 5, let alone 2 more.

I'm looking forward to this year, now that I'm getting over the fact of not having a placement, which I really wanted, and not getting to graduate with all my friends, but it does look good, albeit difficult, especially the project. I'm still working on ideas for it, I'm not sure to go with something about multimedia in home entertainment, or be more specific and look at animation. It isn't a case of picking something and making it, like making an animation or writing a piece of software, but the report; they don't actually give any marks for the implementation of it, it's all about how you write it up, why you are doing it and that you know why you are doing it.

Lovely day today, went to the park (posted my photos in the approproate thread) and had the house to myself since I got up around 10am and for a while longer yet too :) I love the peace and quiet.

Bored. Got to finish up my project specification, pad it out more, got to be finalised by tomorrow.

you'd best get on and do it then :)

I'm doing it, I'm doing it now! I mean what is the point of me coming here and you telling me to do what I'm already doing, what is the bloody point! :p

(I'm presuming you'll get the reference :p)

Yes i do , now stop wasting time and get to it RIGHT NOW!!!!!! :p
