Thought I'd see what everyone on here that is at uni is doing.

My self I'm in my 4th year at Bournemouth doing Computing, specialising in application production.

I completed my final year exams earlier this month and should hopefully find out if I need retakes in the summer later this month (I wouldn't be surprised if I have them, I messed up at least one paper).

Now though I have till some time in May to write my final year project, which accounts for a large portion of my degree.

I'll be writing an application for Live Forensics, which essentially means I'll be creating an anti virus program that runs checks on the processes currently accessing memory. It's going to be a long hard few months ahead for me, but should be a very good experience.

For anyone that is interested I will be blogging every day about my progress (which is a requirement by my project tutor) on my site here (http://www.finaldecap.co.uk/blog). I doubt most of you will find any of it interesting, but as it's there I may as well pimp it. :p

I'm in my first year of a four year course doing English, Comparative Politics and History at the University of Aberdeen. Just in the middle of my January exams =(

I'll probably end up with an MA in History or Politics or maybe a joint honours. Loving it so far!

English, polotics and history, i couldn't think of anything more dull to study :p I have a few friends doing similar courses and they love it though and find it very interesting as i'm sure you do.

As for computing, i studied that for 2 years at college, was quite enjoyable, especially making silly little programs to annoy teachers and so on. Got a few telling offs for putting some of the simplest things on the college network.

As for now, i've always been a numbers guy at heart, so maths was the obvious choice but i was also quite interested in a business perspective so i ended up taking Accounting and Finance at manchester, I'm in my 2nd year atm. Tbh i wish i'd just stuck with maths as i find it far more enjoyable but i've started now so i'l finish. Currently writing an essay on Modern Portfolio Theory, the joy.

I'm doing geophysics at Imperial College. It can be hard at times but hopefully it will be rewarding in the long run.

I'm at the pub, studying as I have been for the past umpteen years in 'life studies' and the 'effects of alcohol'.

It's a great course, life rocks :D

I do that too, it's a good fun thing to do. :D

Well today I've done literally nothing towards my project, so will have to do lots tomorrow and update the blog before I head out. :)
