How would you describe me? (for personal statement)
Posted Oct 31, 2010
This is one of the reasons why I dislike personal statements, writing about myself in a positive way. Anyway, how would you describe me?

Death to PDF, Flash, Quicktime...

... and all the other useless stuff out there that people insist on using all of the time even when they don't need to.
HTML5 can't come quick enough.
That is all.

My UCAS Personal Statement...
Posted Sep 21, 2010
Is proving tricky to write
I don't really like writing about myself.
I don't really do much stuff out of school, so there's less to write about.
I'm not 100% sure what course I want to do
Everything I write sounds useless and just not right.
The courses I'm looking at are some Forensics ones and then Computer ones. The computer ones don't tell me enough about them for me to have much idea what is different between Computer Science and Computer Systems, or what makes Software Engineering different from the other two. Truth be told I'm not sure I could do the work at Uni, and I don't really want to start a course and find out I can't do it.
I'm also annoyed that my AS-level results are rubbish. 3C's (one in Gen Studies) and a D. I'm might re-take some next year, if i do better in the retakes and my marks improve it will be too late for my predicted grades on UCAS.
I'm finding this very annoying, I don't know what I want to do, the ideas I do have I'm not sure if I can do them and I feel as if I need a bit more time to get the whole thing sorted out. I think that having my A-Level results in the bag before applying would be the best way but then I'd have to have a gap year and there's not much in the way of work I could do in a gap year., so that option probably isn't open to me.
Still I'll do some more reading on the courses and see what I can dig up about them and try and make a decision at some point. I want my personal statement in by October though
