Still waiting on @enoilgam to see what we’re doing.

if you’re ever worried about how long it will take you to get through uni if you take a gap year, I have a friend who was in uni for 3 years when I started uni, I have now finished uni (4 years), had 2 years not studying and now back to studying a postgrad, and he is still at uni studying a...
