Harma, I think that they where just looking to see if they where as linked as everyone who suffers from IBD have been claiming they have been for years!

Linda I hope I am in my parents house right now, otherwise I have broken into a strangers house! Finished uni for xmas on the 17th and came home that night. I have four papers to do (all on gender and/or race) to do over the holidays, 2 where supposed to be done before I broke up, but that didnt happen due to 3 weeks of completley different illness issues so got extra time on them.

Hope everyone is well

Yuk! Having to write papers over Chirstmas! But at least you didn't have to forfeit marks and were able to get extensions on them. What are you majoring in, btw? (not sure if that is the term you use over there.. what is your main area of study? )

I have heard of the term major applied to degrees before, but over here in the UK we have to decide what we are doing before we go to university, as you have to have a certain level of qualification- usually an a-level in a subject before you can study it at degree level. I'm studying English Literature.

How long are university degrees over there? We only study 3 years over here for an undergraduate degree, I'm currently in my second year... for the second time
