I definitely am going to do an MA, but I want to go somewhere else for it, possibly back down south.

The after that, if all goes well, a PHD!

What do you reckon you'll be doing after your English degree?

ah that's awesome. where are you originally from? i can draw pretty well but not under pressure. but i sit in lectures and switch off while i draw, that stuff always turns out awesome. anything i try at just doesnt work!

im thinking pgce perhaps, but im not 100% sure yet. can't imagine doing a masters at this stage, the workload is killing me as it is!

Im from Essex originally.

Yeah the work load for this year is insane, on top of writing a dissertation, basically have to be always working... which is exactly what I am not doing now haha, im sitting at home drinking coffee and thinking about going in to Uni, Fridays are always so quiet so it's not too bad ha.

Ah yeah, I was thinking of teaching, but I want to teach degree level and I need a PHD for that. Scary!
I heard the word count for a Fine Art thesis is 80 000 words :shock:

The (other) words and actions count more than the introduction, my friend.

Haha yeah, Leeds is a cool city, got some pretty decent clubs and nights going on these days. I'm studying digital media design at Leeds Uni. I'm pretty much a 'mature student' as I'm 23 and only in my second year. Decided to go the Uni route a bit later than most.

Just need to find more people who dig BOC in the Leeds area now!

Hi,

I'm Nicolas, I'm 35 years old, i am french but I live in Spain for several years now (on the Mediterranean coast).

I discovered the music of Boc with an article in a (french) magazine, before the official release of the album Geogaddi. I remember that at that time, i was looking for something new. Something that can bring me new sound sensations... So I bought the album. I pressed play, and then after a few seconds of listening, i knew it was happening something on an emotional level that was previously unknown to me, indescribable with words... And i guess that's what makes me write this right now 8)

Wait, I must ask my girlfriend :wink:

Seriously, I know that this region of Spain is highly appealing to foreign european tourists. This is a beautiful place, it does not rain too often, the temperature is pleasant all year round, and alcohol and tobacco do not cost too much, lol. But there is crisis, here more than elsewhere in Europe, this is actually the only bad point... But you can come on holiday if you want :D Lol
