My sister plays piano, she loves it
Finland? Can't say I have! What colleges over there are you interested in? 0 -
Still considering piano tbh! Just not sure how I should go about it! :rolleyes: and still need to get an actual piano! :Lgreenpyjamas wrote: »My sister plays piano, she loves it

None in particular! But I mean, Finland has the best education system in Europe and it's education is free! Finland takes a way different approach to education from what I can tell! Teacher-student relationships, for example, are way more informal than here! 0 -

Definitely UCD or Trinity if I was to stay here though! America would be brilliant, but the prices :O 0 -

If you don't have a piano yet, maybe you could get a keyboard and practise on it for a while (really the only difference is that you don't have dynamics or as good as a sound quality). Getting a teacher is probably the best approach, with their experience and everything
Sounds good! I wouldn't mind it, but the only thing I'd be worried about would be the language barrier, weather and the lack of craic haha:D0 -

Ya, might have a look around the newsagents in town see if there's any adverts for lessonsgreenpyjamas wrote: »If you don't have a piano yet, maybe you could get a keyboard and practise on it for a while (really the only difference is that you don't have dynamics or as good as a sound quality).

Actually the weather isn't that bad! In the Winter it gets pretty cold alright but in the Summer it can be up to 35 degrees Ah I hear the Finnish are mad banter! 
The language however looks impossible! 15 Cases FFS!! :O
American University prices are ridiculous! However, AFAIK, places like Harvard only expect students to pay what they can afford and they pay the rest or something
Anyone know anything else about this? 0 -

Work hard and go for/apply for scholarships. If you get 600/700 points oxford are not going to refuse you right? Act posh in the interview haha, Oxford would be mad banter xD
AFAIK In Australia the government give you a **** load of grants to study there 0 -
That's what I plan to do! But easier said then done :LMmmPancakes wrote: »Work hard and go for/apply for scholarships. If you get 600/700 points oxford are not going to refuse you right? Act posh in the interview haha, Oxford would be mad banter xD

I actually need to start keeping up on here :L I went the the library today and got loads done so I'm delighted! I have a test on the whole Chemistry section on the 25th which is em, lovely :L
Also, does anyone else feel they aren't studying unless they write it out? I don't feel I did it unless I've summarised it! Anyways, study is going fine. It's hard to keep up with all my extra curriculars and social life aswell as studying!
Times flying though and it's really scaring me
How's everyone else? 0 -

It differs every week for me! Every Sunday I sit down and write what I want to do during the week. Then I make a timetable around this and give myself blocks of subjects lasting 30 mins each with a 10 mintue break in between! I usually do 4 subjects a night (Mon-Fri) so that's around 2 hours study every night!MomijiHime wrote: »How long do you study for? I study for 2 hours Monday to Friday (excluding Thursday which is only half an hour) and about 3 hours on a Saturday... I sometimes try to study on a Sunday too but I get too lazy since the libraries closed and thus I end up like I am now, in front of the computer in my pj's.. Then on the weekends I just try doing what I didn't get around to during the week that was on my list! 0 -

I try to study two subjects extra a night as well as homework and I follow a science study plan where I look over a mind map of a chapter before I go to bed but if I have a big class test, that all goes out the window :P 0 -
Hey guys! I found my guitar! But the lightest string is missing! Anyone know there easily replaced!
Please tell me that this isn't like the most important string in the guitar either Also can I start learning to play before getting it fixed? :L 0 -

I don't know if you can get a single high E string separately, I've always gotten mine in packs
You could play it but since you're just starting to learn it wouldn't be great to leave out the notes on e and stuff :L
It's really easy to put on strings though, you may as well get it done before you start 0 -

Of course, I don't play the guitar. I have a piano, I don't play that either.
But I learned music theory to help with producing.
Learn Music theory, learn some chords, chords which don't use the string you are missing haha.0 -
