    Urm, can't remember exactly what I went in with on first day, but the likes of a decent pad, couple of pens/pencil/etc and maybe a calculator? Most of your first day will probably be taken up with assessments and form filling (note, don't do like one lad in my intake and spell your name wrong. You'll never live it down....)
    I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....

              Big colleges sell them, Not sure about Shetland but I imagine they will have a stationary shop too I was opposed to the pencil case until phase 5, but it makes life so much easier

                Don't think so, but there was a Kelvin Hughes shop behind St Luke's that should sell them (I think it was Glasgow you're going to right?)

                    Ah right, somewhere like that I'd imagine they'd sell them in the college...

                      I read somewhere in the induction paperwork that they sell basic stationary from the college office. I'm taking a small selection of stuff anyway just to be sure. That guy must have been feeling the pressure to spell his name wrong on the first day!

                          Better to carry too much than not enough to be honest. If you don't need it, you don't need it and if you do then you've got it

                          Or something like that....

                            Better to have it and not need it, than to not have it and need it

                            I think thats the quote GM
                            Dont just dream, Go and do it!!

                              Oh, I tend to quite like "Plan for the worst and hope for the best" as well....
