Oxford Brookes University

Uni!!!

University, What a way to waste two years.

by Matthew

I’ve wanted to talk about it all for a while. So, Many people have asked me why I left and some people have even said I will be worse off. Time will tell but right now I’ve felt the best I ever have! I don’t think university was ever for me. However, I was excited when I started. I thought it’s a change and I expected so much. To be taught, the vessel they call a brain filled.. where I could get lots of hand on practical experience. Taught by lecturers who were passionate, loved their job and cared about the students.

The experience wasn’t all bad but one or two lecturers stood out as being poor. Reading from powerpoints and working from course-notes into workbooks wasn’t what I had in mind. Maybe I was a fool?! Paying over £3000+ in tuition fees though I expected better.

Brookes Bus morning woes!

by Matthew

I really wish Oxford Bus Company made the morning bus service only for brookes students… they end up like school buses in the morning with annoying school children. I must get a earlier or later bus I think because that horrible old bus is in service at that time it only comes out when it’s busy.

Holiday post

by Matthew

I have been on Holiday a few weeks now. The highlight of which was Christmas and New year.

A lot has happened. I suppose. I finished my first semester at university and recent public affairs have amused me 🙂

My first semester at university went well I guess.. just got to wait for the results. The coursework I have to do over the holidays is in progress but going slowly. I keep getting distracted (by posting on this blog for example!). I can’t wait for semester two. So just counting down the days till I am back in Oxford!

Earlier on I was checking out the new Ferrari F1 car. To be honest the new F1 rules have made the cars look ugly!

Till the next update goodbye 🙂

Exams Over, Semester Over… on my way home :)

by Matthew

As I write this I am thinking how good it feels to be free again for a bit. I have coursework to do over the holidays but its begun. Tonight is my last night in Oxford before I leave to return home 🙂

I’m looking forward to returning.. however I don’t think I will be able to get out of this clubbing lifestyle 😛
Looking forward to having some proper food and meeting family.

Btw, If anyone has any literature about car fuel tanks and car fuel systems please contact me 🙂

At the time of writing I was listening to “Acceptable in the 80’s” by Calvin Harris

20th Birthday and Exams!!

by Matthew

Had a great 20th Birthday. Spent most of it in my room on campus (and nipping downstairs to do some laundry). However the nice peeps of J and H block (top floor) bought a tasty chocolate fudge cake for my celebrations. Thanks guys 🙂

Well… its exam time too now. I don’t want to spend too long speaking about them because I wanna focus on them but all I can say is. I can’t wait to go back to LONDON!!!!

Thanks for reading.. peace to you all 🙂
Have a happy xmas – or holiday season (whichever you prefer)
