Ohhh I see, that seems a little cruel though if I'm understanding correctly, if they're accepted into the university but don't get into the program it must be upsetting despite there being other similar courses.

In the UK you apply for 5 courses at universities, they'll either accept or decline you based on target grades and potential, if accepted you have a place on that course, as long as you get the required grades they offered you then you're in. Is it like that in Canada?

Hmm, they accept/decline you when applying to the uni for the program. I had ~90% average in last grade of highschool, so I had no problem getting in.

Then when selecting your major is another place where they can accept or decline you. So, it can be upsetting.

The first stage you go through is basically the whole process for the UK it seems. How long is your course?

Oh, and it's typically like that.

4 years. Typically. Sadly, I have to do it in 5... or 4 with a 1 year break

You'll get through it, its one more year where you don't have to work

My course is 4 years but 1 year is placement

Ahh, alright. Are you currently in Uni?

Ah no, I guess what I said was badly worded. I meant that three courses I've been accepted for are 4 years. I'm still at school for around 6 months.

Oh, alright. And was just wondering cause from what I remember, you looked a bit young. But that was a while ago.

And what program are you thinking of taking?

Yeah I'm only 17 at the moment

I've applied for 3 courses because I wasn't entirely sure about what I wanted to do, I originally applied for psychology, crime scene investigation and computer science with forensics, after I applied I realised that I didn't want to do psychology so I have 3 out of 5 universities I'm realistically looking at choosing.

Oh, alright... How are you selecting which unis to go then?

Whether the modules they provide interest me, the student ranking, the country ranking, what the uni looks like e.g. accommodation, their facilities, reviews, distance from home etc.

Oh dang, so many variables.

Eh really?

Yeah I'm good thanks, just doing exams and stuff

Im glad, and thought exam periods were over. When does the next semester start for you?

They're mock exams but they're still fairly important, if you do bad on them you get shoved onto a timetable to help you or get made to do extra classes/sessions. I also don't want to face the wrath of my teachers. Saying all that I probably should've revised a lot more, it wouldn't surprise me if I've done terribly.

Uh I think semesters are school terms right? In that case we started one at the beginning of January. Not sure when my next one starts.

Anyway how've you been?

Pretty good, back in Canada. Thinking of going back to the US to visit my gf before summer starts, since gonna start classes then.

For now, thinking of possibly getting a job, or trying for something else :/

Nice, nice. That'll be fun, is it hard having a long distance relationship?

Sounds good, are you in education still?

Ehh, at certain times... Will admit that the relationship would have been way better if I was actually there.
But aside from that, at least for me. It hasn't been hard at all. We've been at it for a bit over a year now, and as time passes, it becomes easier.

And yea, just took the year off. Cause of certain choices I made the previous year (trying to skip out on additional fees), it wouldn't have been convenient for me to take that year of studies.

That's pretty sweet, glad it's working out for you anyway. Do you ever plan to move there if it gets more serious?

Sounds complicated even though it probably isn't haha, what are fees like on average for university in Canada (That is where you live isn't it?)

I want her to move here first, as it's easier for a American to become a Canadian than a Canadian to become an American. But eventually would want to move there.

Okay, so where I am, the university costs about $7000/year.
If you're in a 'deregulated' program, you have to have good grades and pay an extra fee, the extra fee depends on the program. Commerce (business) is about $10k extra. So instead of paying $7k, you pay $17k per year.
And you choose your program/major starting second year. So knowing this I was like, that is totally not good (I knew there was an additional cost, but not that much). So come second year, I picked my major as Astronomy (just some random program so that they don't charge me extra). But while there, I took all business related courses, except for 2, which are exclusive for that program. Which I was planning to take that summer. (That way I would have only paid the regular fee, and come summer I would start paying the higher fee)

But due to switching in and out of commerce, I missed my chance to take the course in the summer, since I wasn't able to get into the program in time, which lead me to get into the program right before normal classes started. But I did not want to, because then I would have taken the year 2 courses that I missed, which are prerequisites for courses that I would have for the next two years, so would have been a waste...

Ah you learn something new everyday! Hope it works out for you.

Jesus christ $7k is so cheap! $17k is a lot closer to how much my course will cost though, seems reasonable in comparison even though asking that much for university is theft.

Unlucky, still too complicated even though you gave me a good explanation haha, maybe because I'm too tired, I got the jist of it though.

Not cheap for us... In montreal, it's only like $2k/year

That's only £970 holy **** ! Is that per year or are you speaking monthly, if it's per year then wow, lucky!!

Pretty much every full-time course here is £9,000 although there are a few exclusions where it can be up to £11,000 because it's a more prestigious university or a harder degree.

Do you have to pay yourself or can you apply for student finance?

It's per year.... they pay that much per year...

And we get 30% financing. Not sure how it is in Quebec (province montreal is in)

That's insane, would you consider that cheap or expensive?

Interesting, we get student finance which is split into course costs, accomodation costs and a maintenance loan to live pretty much. How much you get all depends on how much your parents earn, whether you have children, a disability etc. All the money is payed back naturally but in monthly sums relative to how much you're earning.

Ahh, that's hella cheap. You can finance your studies with just a summer job :/

True but for something so cheap there must be a downside..

Is the teaching poorer or are they lower ranking universities?

Do you stay in accommodation or do you commute?

I commute, and they have no downside. They have one of the best medical schools in the world among other things.

But the university Im going to is top ranked in the country.

Wow and here I was thinking it was too good to be true.

Oooh smart kid, how prestigious! What are the entry requirements like?

Not that hard... I had good grades, but it's supposed to be quite easy. Just hard to get into the program. (Cause there's 1000 students that get into the uni, but only 300 that get into the program)

Ah how unusual, do you mean as in 1000 students for all the courses, or 1000 students are accepted into the university who've applied solely to your program?

1000 who've applied for the program. Thing is, they have other similar courses that are more open for everyone, so pretty much the 700 who don't make the cut will either take another year in hopes of getting their grades up, or go for one of the similar programs that don't have that requirement.

no

I stopped posting because of my exams, I've got atleast 30 ready to post but I just browse FJ when I have time, I'll post them in two weeks when my exams are over

aww yeahh!
c-cause it gets lonely without my FJ rival i-its not like i like you or anythin...b-baka

I've missed our rivalry there there princess

ayyy ma ***** , hows it going

jus livin life, been lazy with comps lately
but how bout you?

school work and other boring stuff except I watched films all day today haha, same here but I just keep forgetting to post stuff

samee, been multitasking with schoolwork and anime

what films were you watching? boku no pico? c;

I hadn't watched anime for about 3 weeks until today, I guess I kinda just went through one of those times where you just go off anime a bit then mass watch it for a while

all day everyday ;) I was just rewatching the fast and furious films in time for the new one, then I watched the first LOTR film c:

i totally know how you feel!
honestly it only happens cause I struggle to find an anime i like :l

and pleease tell me that wasnt the first time you saw LOTR D:

Yeah, it usually happens to me when I watch too many anime at once, usually weekly anime or when I'm watching really long anime

I'm ashamed to say it was! I've been meaning to watch them for god knows how many years but I kept putting it off, finally decided today was the day!

and pshh

aint no such thing as "too many anime"

It gets to much when you've got 10 or so anime on the go then you have like 10 weekly anime you're behind on, talk about first world anime problems

yes!! it was glorious, I just need to find time to watch the 2nd and 3rd!

glad to see that you liked LOTR! would've had to ip track you and kill you if you didnt KIDDING. I dont even know how to find my own ip .-.

and sheesh you've been slackin with anime lately eh?

I'll probably watch the second today c: oh no

Yeah but I've got 2 weeks to catch up on it now, plus the new anime season starts today!

:'( atleast you've finally watched it! that's what counts

ah thanks! nice to get appreciation every now and then

I'm gathering FT facts atm c:
With OPM I'll try get facts but it kinda gets harder when the anime/manga is less popular, I'll try find decent facts to make a comp though

:c But... OPM is the best.
And awesome THANK YOU!

Uhh send me a PM when they are done plz, or reply, or something...

YOU'RE WELCOME YA FAGGOT, I'll be busy until the weekend because FJ is my social life so I won't plan the comp till then. If I don't it might be a little while so bare with I'll message you as soon as I'm done

okay...

Also, recently started watching The Devil is a Part Timer, it's better than expected

I've been meaning to watch that! Is it funny?

Well... finished watching it last night :/
Can you recommend me some other series?

I'll make sure to watch it then! What genre?

Action, adventure or comedy

Idk which you've watched so hopefully I recommend at least one you haven't watched

Action/Adventure:
>Parasyte
>Tokyo Ghoul
>Soul Eater
>Reborn
>FMA/FMA: B
>Code Geass
>Death Note
>Deadman Wonderland
>Highschool of the Dead

Comedy:
>Barakamon (one of my favourites haha)
>Daily Lives of Highschool Boys

They're off the top of my head atm

THANKS

If you need more info on them just ask because that wasn't very helpful of me

Mmm, it's plenty helpful, I guess. Although what is Barakamon about?
You said it was one of your favorites

A young calligrapher basically gets told his work is "textbook" by an old man at the gallery out of anger he punches him and gets told to go sort himself out. The calligrapher goes to a really remote island thats full of country folk and he finds a new style of calligraphy. It's just really funny and light hearted to me, the story is unique and doesn't take over the show. I don't usually like comedy slice of life anime but this one is really good imo.

Oh sounds interesting, thanks. Guess I'll watch that next

make sure you tell me what you think!

I always wanted to watch it, then saw a gif of it, and was like why the heck haven't I watched it already?!?
And yes, pretty funny, relaxed, cool. And plenty of stuff going around them to make it interesting and exciting Overall, good anime

It depends, I can't exactly specify a time because I gather all the facts on a specific subject roughly 150-200 on wider subjects e.g. anime in general or around 50 for anime specific comps e.g. naruto, then I gather pictures for each fact and resize them all so they're the same then randomly allocate a fact to a comp so all that can take up to 4 days but once all my comps are preset it takes around 10/20 minutes to upload and stuff

Alright, when you gather them, include the sources beneath you fact
IE:
-DragonBall is one of the best anime
tridaak.com/dragonballfact
-Attack on titan used to be really good, but now it sucks
aotmanga.com/readhowmuchitsucks

then when uploading the comp, you put the facts underneath (like on the very last description or something). People can then check where you got your facts from, and you can get OC rewards.

ichigoichie it has to be two or more sources.

Basically. The OC guide states 3 sources tho :|
"The person posting should include at least 3 sources."
So uhh, let's go with 3.

3 is too much, you can't find good sources.

thelizardlord has like 8 for some of his comps Ill get to them bae

I'm waiting

Bae, plz. Im still working on the guide. But I will get to them, no worries.
Although someone else probably marked them, so Ill have to talk to them to change it.

You can always find good sources for fallout

What? you know I'm right

Shhh

Okay, I'll stay quiet

Oh boy, are we sticking to 3 or what?

I guess unless, it's somehow okay by tridaak to have 2 links

c'mon tridaak make it 2

But... all you need is an additional fact from some other source.
At least for now, try to go with 3, until I re-adjust later on.

I'll try haha, btw is it a problem getting alot of facts from one website or just the wording of them?

www.funnyjunk.com/channel/fallout/The+new+and+improved+fallout/dgtXLqt/99#99
Really doesnt matter the website, but now many pages

And please uhh clarify the question IDK if that was the answer you were looking for.

ehhhh kinda, I mean I got quite a few facts from a single paged website but I rewrote the facts would that be alright?

Then spread them out through several comps.

Lets say you get 20 facts from a.com 10 from b.com and 5 from c.com
Then you can make up to 5 comps that fit all the standards.
Each one with:
4 facts from a.com
2 facts from b.com
1 fact from c.com

Really all we want is some sort of evidence that you went around and looked for the facts. (Way I showed follows all rules and is pretty simple)

I just thought if it's hard to find 3 sources you'll settle for two.

YOU THOUGHT NOTHING
But for now we're sticking to 3, I'll see how many posts we get that get approved, and adjust from there.

Okay Okay, let me know how that turns out.

I'll try but considering I've already gathered all my facts for the next 20 or so comps I can't remember, I remember a few though, thanks for the heads up

mmm, guess it'll have to be for next time then. Well, good luck with your comps, and like I said I really enjoy them

yeah I guess :p thanks glad you enjoy them!

I love how you have coloured text now and ichi's ran out

Lol, he prolly just has to renew it

Pretty sure he's got extras

For getting 1K thumbs on one of my posts
