I'd advise any of Nickolaus's modules. He's a total legend and will work his arse of to help you.His quaint German accent is so endearing too. Awesome guy - took our lectures and seminars and was always ready to answer any questions. Made it a real pleasure to study the subject.
I'd keep away from the corporate modules. You'll get bored senseless. On some level, all economics is boring, but at least there's a challenge in it. When you move to the business side, it all loses the slight draw it used to have.
Our past papers were OK compared to the exams. But it's best to do them all. Prepare for anything. Don't go out of your way not to learn the algebra. You really need to understand it, it's the key to most of the models, just to don't memorise it.
My contract here lasts until the end of next March. I'm currently saving. I'd love to go back to uni as I had the best times of my life there. I love the intellectual atmosphere. Not in a twatty, pretentious way, I just loved being able to talk about politics and philosophy with far more intelligent people than me, and not get looks of disgust from bordering tables. I guess that I'll have to take stock and decide whether I'll stay here indefinitely or get further education. The last thing I want is a desk job.
What's your plan anyway?

Well obviously I want to go straight in to IBD and sell my grandmother and things like that.I'm not sure really, I've no real plan. Desk jobs don't exactly appeal to me either, the only graduate jobs I'd be vaguely interested in are things like economist at the foreign office. They send you off to a G20 country after 2 years in London. But obviously they only take the best of the best. Or maybe something in journalism. I'm the editor of the sanctuary here (I think it might have started in your second year?)
I agree that university is a wonderful place to be. I'd consider a masters, but not here, I've had enough of this obscure field on the outskirts of coventry. Who knows.
Or I might pick all the modules you did, do my RAE on happiness and then go and teach in korea. Tried and trusted path.

Hahahaha!Yes, Santuary started in my second year, it's good form. Well played on being the editor, that would certainly help you go into journalism.
Anyway, it's 1:40am and I have The Wire to watch so I shall bid you adieu.
Night.
