I'm also looking at Universities I might apply to when I've finished my A levels. I'm looking to study English, I've not decided whether I want it as a single or combined course at the moment. I'll undoubtedly finish that up with a years teacher training course, assuming I can't find a course that incorporates it. Scotland is looking tempting, as A Levels are liked quite a bit over there, and you're allowed to skip the first year of the course over there with them (they work on a 4 year system where the first year is kinda like trying the courses out). Also my boyfriend informs me there may be a way to get in for free and use my uni time as guaranteed residency, he's gonna look into this more though. Current considerations I've had for Uni's are Aberystwyth and Oxford. Aber I'm more uncertain about than I was, and Oxford you need to be very good for. Could be an issue...

==Uni shortlist==
Apologies in advance to the admins that are already pissed off with me, but this was the only place I could lay this out cleanly.


*Durham (Rated No.1 in English)
*St. Andrews (Oldest Uni in Scotland, rated 5th in English)
*Dundee (High satisfaction rating in English, offers chance to skip intro year, ranked 9th in English)


==Pokemon Journal==
==Pokedork's League==
I've been hard at work training up my remaining Pokémon, and today (4.3.09) I have succeeded. As is, I'm updating my team notes, and throwing a new colour scheme up. I've tried putting up a proposal to Pokédorks (DA's biggest Pokéclub), but they never got back to me on it, probably too much writing. As it is, I've got stuff to give away, and no reason to give it ^^;. The other proposal was a tournament. They probably liked that idea even less.
I entered for Pokedork's Dork cup this year and had a great deal of fun doing it, here's a rundown of the battles:


'''Battle #1:


==D/P/Team (I operate on 3v3)==
 
 
==D/P/Team ==
To date, I've never operated a team without having at least one Starmie on it. Weezing, being one of my favorites was also high on consideration. My original three Pokémon were Cassiopia (Starmie), Scrofula (Weezing) and No.6 (Magnezone). My Magnezone was named for the Magnemite (and later Magneton) encountered by Ash in the orange islands. At the time of my beginning it's training, my Gabite (Mortis) was classified as OU on Smogon University. It has since been upgraded to Uber, meaning it is the first Uber I have trained for a team. Training is now complete for Mortis and it is now listed under my team. Drool, Bia and Aqualias are now listed.
