There already is a thread for the Bristol comp
I put down sq1 in the comments too, btw.
I wasn't sure if there was or not
What are you averaging now, anyway? Don't you start becoming sub-20

Meh, not that good. I did a 23.59 avg12 a few days ago. But my global average is higher than that. I'm just getting used to this new square-1 too.
Don't worry, I probably won't be sub20.. I may not have much time to practice after just starting uni

Joey, compared to A-levels Uni is a complete doss and especially in the first year. You'll have no excuse

I've been told first year of Uni covers very similar material to AS and A2. I thought you had already done your first year, but I must have mistaken your age.
Also Joey, before I forget to ask, did you ever finish your Square-2?
Does Charlie go Bristol Uni by the way?
(Yes, a bunch of completely unrelated stuff in this post)

It depends what subject you do, if it's something you didn't do at school, then it's not. But he's right, the first year of uni is a doddle
The grades don't usually count and there is nothing but party for the first term. But Rowan, if you think Uni is a doss in the years following that, you are in for a shock It's really not, unless you are doing a ridiculously easy subject or are amazingly talented at your subject. Keeping that aside, the reading/research that is required means it's at least time consuming.Bristol open update is that I'm in a pickle with a venue, nobody answers my mails or calls, so.... I'm trying!

Oh and my university history is a somewhat complicated. I was studying German and Spanish at Bristol and should have finished by now really, but I went on my year abroad and did some good cubing around Germany/Netherlands, but just couldn't cope with it so I came home, and Bristol were terrible. They wouldn't let me get out of the year abroad so I had no option but to drop out then re-apply.
To do that I had to take some more A-Levels in English because I couldn't reapply to Bristol without them. Needed an A because, well, it's Bristol, and so worked like a mental, had to move home and went to my old school. Did two A-Levels in about 8 months, like AS and A2, it was pretty tough reading wise. Got into Bristol few weeks ago, then decided that actually I wanted to go to UWE, which is the other uni in Bristol that wouldn't be so challenging, because I'm a bit fed up of having so much hard work to do at Bristol. I wanted something a bit easier and the timetabling will be easier to fit around my life, plus there are more mature students etc. While it was a stressful year, I am one of few to now have 7 A-Levels and probably one of few to turn down places at both Oxford and Bristol. An achievement
For further information about Charlie's life, you can pre-order her autobiography that will be coming out in November. Alternatively speak to my publicist Adam Wills for an advance copy.

I took a year off, so im 1 year older than if I just went from 6th form -> Uni. Also, I didn't do my subject at A-level.I've been told first year of Uni covers very similar material to AS and A2. I thought you had already done your first year, but I must have mistaken your age.

Nope, not really. It *works*, but needs some work to be good. You could buy it if you want?
I want a copy of charlie's autobiography.

Oh no, don't worry, I don't think that 2nd/3rd years are easy at all. Based on what friends have said though, the 1st year sounds awesome.
Anyway, I'll be doing philosophy and I doubt that is going to be particularly easy at all...
[/off-topic]
Anybody have aims for this comp?
I'm thinking :
2x2: happy with sub 4.5 avg, sub 4 would be great though.
3x3: 12.xx or 11.xx average, 10.xx single
4x4: sub 55 avg, sub 50 single
Not too bothered about anything else though.

By "some work" do you mean breaking in? Sounds interesting though, how much?
Also, it's quite early for targets, but my primary one is to make sure square-1 is an event

Hmmm target wise... I don't actually care. That forever elusive sub 20 competition average could be nice, but otherwise none of them are "my" events, so I don't really care at all.

So that means I get a sticker if it becomes an event. Right? I get the sticker, right?
Sooo... the sticker.

No, no, noooooo. I mean *the* sticker. The special "I've achieved a target" sticker, you know... like the dentist ones.
I can see we're going to need a chat about this sticker.

I knew what you meant, it's just pyraminx stickers were more in-keeping with your love of puzzles. I have got some "You're a star!" stickers, if you would like one

The edges are split in two, and where they were, there arnt caps. And maybe a bit of sanding of the edges.
Hm, I have some free time now actually, I might look into it

as for aims etc.
Sub20 average (won't happen)
sub20 single (damn well better happen)
maybe a sub 3:00.xx 5x5 average.

Uke Can Ring My Bell is probably my favourite from the album, but it's also the hardest to play. I will be signing copies btw, more than happy to write personalised messages for the fans.
