Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

What area is your educational background in?Im trained in mathematics. I got a B.A and M.A. Bear in mind that your american (correct me if you are not) B.A is approximately equavilent to british A-levels, when I have my degree i will be on a similar level to you. Plus if i continue to like maths i will get a british MA and a PHD...

I hope you continue to enjoy maths and go for a PhD; i was sick of it by then.

Just three years of studying was enough for me.
Im guessing you failed the entrance exam.

But i suspect at least two of my tutors had it.Why you would put it on a form i don't know

I was advised it would be a qualification apparently. Other things went wrong as well, like me not being well at all and having to go to interview in agony. I had been told I was a dead cert Oxbridge pretty much by all my teachers before that.

kosmonaut, how is sophs and starbulines new site?i haven't really been arsed checking it out. and quite frankly i am dissapointed about sophs forum going down.....and i also hope that all those people don't go back to WP, just because alex is feeling the pinch and has acted like he is doing everybody a favor by offering some people clemency.

It was a bit poor going down like that. I don't know about the new site. It seems quiet but it's early days it may liven up.It will be a defeat if they go back to WP, i guess some of them will. benson has, the faggot.
