    I'm at uni doing a proper degree, masters in mechanical engineering
    This morning i literally had a lecture in rocket science, and it was the easiest fluid mechanics lecture of the year.
    Phil - I thought Fourier series was ok, its Vector calculus and PDE's that I'm struggling with!

    I went to one of my GF's psychology lectures and it was all just common sense, I mean we don't need a lecturer to tell us that men have bigger brains

    Probably, although I have done just that to someone and they went off their head because of it. But then I just dropped their hotdog numerous times on the floor and sold it to them.

    The fourier series wasnt difficult as such, I learnt how to do and did quite well in the exam. The only thing was I never understood it, never knew why I was using it or anything relevant to use it for.

    Unlike PDE's which are very gay but I understand them and know why they are used ect... So I could then work around that if I came to problem that I hvent gone over 5000 times to remember the exactly way to do it. Fourier series I couldnt, only learn the set few questions they could ask.

    Have to agree that the whole rocket science thing is very straight forward, there are no real surprises or head f*cks, so long as you sit down an work through it logically.


    One of the strangest thing to learn is quantum theory if any of you get the chance as the reason for that is like physics but completely backwards. So everything you learn classically about particles is wrong. If you did understand it then you either didnt get it at all or you are able to re wire your brain very quickly to new way of thinking.

    As soon as a surgeon qualifies they call him Mr again, you no longer use the Dr title. Odd

    As part of my course i studied and obtained a Bsc in Medical Physics. It hurt.

    You're not supposed to practice on yourself!

    Medical Dr's dont seem give a toss if you call them Mr or Dr... its the ones with Phd's/Deng's etc that get riled up by it :D

    The first thing we are taught in psychology is that there is no such thing as common sense.

    Oh you're stressed big ****ing deal. The real world is much more stressful than being a student.

    Student life is a piece of piss, I spent 4 years at Uni, studied hard sometimes, played hard all the time.

    My mickey mouse degree was a 2:1 in Accountancy

    Im a second year at Uni at the moment doing Motorsport Technology (Didnt have A-Levels for Engineering ). Have 25 hours of lectures a week. I know someone that does Psychology, does 8 hours of lectures a week, doesnt go and still passed her first year .

    Student life sucks, its either boring because nothing is going on or crazy because everything is due in at the same time.

    Sat here right now ****ing about on solidworks making a 3d model of a bmx. Due in tommorrow and the animation is sat there saving. Goin to take another 3-4 hours to finish. Boring as ****e
