What year are you Rollergirl? Finishing 3rd Year UNi?

Finishing first year actually, so don't technically start any of the marine papers till next year. :oops: Did a bit of mucking about after school finished before I could decide what I really wanted to do. So... all my old school mates are either finished studying already, or finishing this year, and I've only just started...But glad I did take the time to think about my options, otherwise I'd probably be stuck with a huge loan and useless degree right now.

I'm guessing from some of your posts that you are/were doing some sort of Science program as well?

Yea thats us. Was that the 21st down the long gravel driveway like in the middle of nowhere???

Sure was- great night that was, I was so stoked to have a bouncy castle there too! Had a lot of fun on it, but didn't realise how hard bouncing is when you're grown up, hehehe :lol: Small world... Cool to see you on here anyway, I'm actually pretty surprised at how young a lot of us fishkeepers are (from the looks of this thread anyway) - Ken and I keep getting cr*p from our mates about being the "fish geeks" but it's obviously a more popular hobby than most people realise :D
