h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I bubble with anticipation. In fact, Scooter I've built up this article in my head to such an extent that you can only disappoint from here.

Shame

Glad you're excited.

It's not that wonderful though, sorry. I did my best, but I guess I'm not a natural journalist. I'm gonna keep churning them out though!

Pretty cool article. I can't wait to read more from York. I always liked insider's articles, if you know what I mean. And this one, considering that I'll probably start applying for university in about 4-5 months, goes straight on top of my list.

I can't wait to go to university and with this article, I saw myself there. Keep firing and thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! Hopefully this will give you an idea of what uni's really like. Which ones are you thinking about?

I don't think much about the universities I'm going to attend yet. I'm more like concentrating on my last year at high school right now.

I'm not in the Uk and going there more the studies is out of question, partly because it's just too expensive. But I admit that I never was drawn to England either. (Although I'd love to have been at Liverpool when we won the Champions' League.)

My dream would be to go to Australia or New Zealand but we'll see. I like to think that I still've got plenty of time before really digging in.

Yeah, you've got a while yet. You'll probably have the same expense studying down under as you would here though.

You'd be surprised but studying in the Uk costs about MUR 1million (that's about 200,000 pounds) per year, I think. Nearly every expenses are taken into account in this amount though.

It's much less expensive down there, trust me.

£200,000? Sure you don't mean £20,000?

Just don't let my maths teacher know about this. My mistake. £20,000 is huge anyway though.

Amazing how much power a zero has, isn't it?

It certainly is huge. I think it varies by subject - judging by your username, you'd be doing science, which is more expensive than humanities subjects for foreign students.

Actually I'm in quite a dilemma: to do science in uni or (not to do science in uni - just had to say this) to do something as scriptwriting?

I suppose I'll end up doing something scientific - always wanted to do research - most probably microbiology, if I have the chance to. But I plan to do a first degree in journalism as well. In this way, I hope I'll be able to do some freelance journalism.

The thing is that I love science and like media/publishing stuff both. Did this post make any sense?

Absolutely. You could do science and join the student newsapaper or something.

That would be so cool: to join the student newspaper I mean. Oh well I'll see. Anyway I can't wait to start my uni life. Live on my own (away from parents - although I love them deeply), to be free and independent. And have only the studies to bother about.

That would be a great life. Wonder what'll I say in a few years when I'm actually in uni though. I suppose it would be fun reading this post then.

Good stuff I'm also a fresher, I'm at Bath, and I've also joined a fencing club, though I've not actually been to any sessions yet

Hey! What are you studying?

Physics

I'm doing History. I think I said that in the article, didn't I? How are you finding it so far?

Yeah you did. So far so good, have to write up a project, I haven't started yet though. Other than that it's getting a little bit more complicated bit I can still keep up. What about you?

About the same, yeah. I have an essay due in next Monday, so I'm researching that. Comradeship in Knights.

Comradeship in knights? Sounds interesting, wonder if there's a guide entry on it somewhere
