You sound very much like half the students I know. I can tell you now that it's much better if you do a course you'll enjoy, even if it's a bit less academic.

[19:39] <Birdflu> I'd have a great time
I'm doing Business/Commerce and it's fun practically but fuck, the theory is 7 kinds of bullshit. I'll stick with it though, for them 6 digit pay checks yew yew.

Super busy finishing high school. I'm trying to get into a London uni but got rejected from Imperial, UCL hasn't answered yet. I have an offer from Lancaster and no answers yet from Sussex or Warwick but I'm not sure wether I'd prefer staying in France to going there. I've resuscitated my Magic the Gathering hobby. That's about it...

My course has been shit. UQ's campus is nice and all but everything is far too theory focussed, like yours.

I'm swapping into an Arts degree next semester, then starting next year I'm going to be doing some really practical journalism course.

Yeah I found the course I was doing at university to be way more theory orientated than I would've liked. The bad/good thing is that if you pull through all this theory you're more likely to get a job in the area you're studying as apposed to taking a more practical approach to it, like a TAFE course or something (Not sure if TAFE is Australia wide or just SA). That's if it's something like economics or some science related course.

Now for a personal update! Decided that doing nothing is hell, feel like crap most days and am just bored as bat shit. In short, I'm not having a very good time. So I started exercising a bit in the last few days and have already noticed a difference. Feeling a lot better physically and mentally already. So yeah, going to be trying to get in shape, while at the same time putting on a bit of weight because I'm quite rake-like. Just need to keep at it for a few years and not expect any drastic results in the short term.
