AS was muuuuch easier though!!! I've lost my motivation completely and I NEED an A. S2 is not actually a problem, C3 and C4 are :P

Stats for business - sounds more boring than stats alone! :D

Yeah it is trust me, had to do a whole module all year last year for it. This is just a few calculation this year.

The thing that really insulted me last year was the teaching of the mean and the median... it was like I learnt that when I was 5 kinda thing... why am I paying £3000 a year to learn this crap lol

I had to do stats last year using SPSS and pretending that I understood the output. The lecturer was terrible but for some reason they couldn't sack him so they made him teach first year stats. I hated the lectures but somehow, with help from friends and a good stats book, managed to get through it and pass the module. Ironically I understand a lot more about stats this year from having to actually use them and read about them than I did last year in a year of stats lectures. If anyone does use SPSS for any reason, http://www.statisticshell.com/dsus.html this book is quite good and the site might be useful too.

5 days to my first exam... So naturally I'm procrastinating like a mentalist.

FP2 (further maths) on the 15th, followed by C3 on the 23rd. The maths exams are way early this year. Last year they were almost in the last week of June.

I don't feel prepared either. I either do really well on the papers (95+%) or absolutely abysmally (54-%). I guess I've got to hope I have a good day. :confused:

Aha, I've never even been to a lesson! We had the chance to choose whether we actually wanted to do it or not, and even thoug I never signed up, i was still put down to sit it.

-.-

Oh well. I guess it won't be so bad, apart from the science paper haha.

I also have a geography exam soon, strangely enough. 4 days time. Revision is going slowly but possibly getting somewhere. One of my friends has an exam tomorrow, another one on tuesday and the one on thursday. I think he only started revising for all of them today, so I suppose I'm doing better than that. There's just so many things I'd rather be doing.

Advice for Geography exams: learn case studies and if in doubt, invent case studies. It's all about the case studies.

    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
    • A joke about pirates: ‘but we’re not jumping ship, like someone else’
    • I felt it was much better with the staging and everything.  I still cannot warm to his voice but he's a very good performer. Ireland was everything though.
