well actually, you'll only have two years of my company, should you dare to experience it. Next year's my 3rd year, and I'll be here for another year on that if I do my masters.

they'll weigh the same, it's just because you're vacuum packing them, you'll be able to carry far more, hence the heavierness :P Woo, go hallam. So I guess you didn't have the guts to let the forum know in advance? I could've dragged shorty along and shown you the way to the pub.

The argument is basically you'd spend the whole time flicking through the book looking for some radom quote. They'd rather you use teh rough quote rather than spend 20 seconds looking for the exact quote. Either way, it's a memory test. If you don't remember any quotes even roughly then you'll just be using the book as a crutch, and you ain't gonna do very well... Or at least that's their argument. My uni course has recently started allowing "notes" to be taken in -- more specifically, up to two double-sided A4 sheets of DIRECT quotes no smaller than font size 10. Because it's up to us how we arrange the quotes and such, it negates the whole 'remembering quotes' issue and instead encourages you to remember themes and patterns and whatever. It's a far more effective system, but I could imagine would be a bitch to organise nationally, considering we just have our tutors coming 'round the lecture hall checking our notes.

... that's slightly disturbing. Which parts of your life -- high school? *watches as dante unleashes the devil trigger halfway through maths*

... but they are overpaid... Most of them are paid more than the people who run the country.

Ah but who can vouch for both of you, now? :P If you're a mafioso you'd know that skunky isn't on your side, thus saying that can prove nothing. So who can you vouch for after three nights? Skunky, Shino and..? Just one more person, isn't it?

just like to point out; someone has a double-vote in that list.

I've always been predicted B (or equivolent), and so far I've pretty much never dissapointed.

Her?!teneoenteo

... ReZ are you being silly on purpose O_o Mad Propz-wishes to the dude. Despite the horrible, horrible connotations he assembles in my mind, you can't wish this on anyone.

Strangely enough, this is the most compelling argument so far. Vote: Gaggle64 If shino is wrong, he goes tomorrow. If he is right, then suspicion turns to those suddenly less eager to vote today than they were yesterday.

Crikey. Got up 'early' (10am :P), went to post office and picked up a surprise parcel (a jumper!!!... that I left at home over xmas ¬_¬) ... then went and sat on the 'smoking deck' at uni for about an hour. I changed my jumper half-way through and people who walked past several times had very confused looks... Then had a 2-hour presentation thing about choices for my third year. Blimey there's a lot of stuff to think about... Got a little info on masters choices, too. I thought this year was hard-going but next year is a tonne more work... but it looks way more interesting so it should be good. Now I've got the rest of the day and the rest of the weekend to get this essay started/finished... And there are three Veronica Mars episodes nearly downloaded so... well priorities and all that - essay will have to be postponed by 3 and a half hours at some point... Bumped into this lecturer guy on the way out of uni, whom is going out with a girl my age, who is a friend of a friend. Had a good chat, seems a solid bloke. Already been clubbing with him and now we've got a coffee date Felt weirdly grown up on the walk home - basically knowing that the next two years of my life are slotting into place. All I need to worry about now (besides the essay, of course) is basically what haircut should I get? and what should I do with my beard-thing?... Waaah! I dunno.

yes But don't think just because you've not got the grades that the university doesn't want you. On results day your college/6th form should be able to help you get in tough with the university and basically beg for the course. Even if that fails, the uni may offer you a similar course. And if that doesn't happen, then Clearing is most certainly not something you should look down on or ignore. From the sounds of it you're not too fussed about the university, it's the course you want? Then for sure have a look at what universities are after fresh blood in clearing. It's good to have a vague idea about what area of the country you definitely do not want to end up in, though. But back to your initial question; yes, you can apply again. As far as I know they allow that, but they do not allow you to wait too long? For specifics just ask your college tutors. Don't give up hope yet!

I got six blocks worth of increase across the board. Two player's went down, four stayed as they were... But got a friendly versus FC Creamola tomorrow :P

So is my opinion worth anything yet, warandchaos?

... Juno? I haven't seen the film, and by god I hope this thread doesn't somehow spoil it :P

Well I certainly don't think Kirby would class as a 'Bad' character, for sure. Perhaps his win condition is to 'taste' a whole bunch of people? Will be interesting to see what he says on the matter Personally I'd like to know who has my ransom, and what it is! Coolness; did you have to give up your power (or unpower, or whatever) to the kidnapper, or does it just dissapear?

well if anyone's targeted Mr-Paul in recent nights, we'd be able to find out the answer. Of course, if we had everyone guarenteed to reply then we'd figure it out that way, but as it is... The cackling robot changing addresses - does that mean that they have changed people's targets for that night? And I thought Jonnas was going to target Chairdriver or Rokhed? Why the change of plan?

sounds like a great idea Totally adds to the stalker collective... There's not really much I can think of to take pictures of... like, maybe ten pictures at the most? If I remember, I will definitely do one for my home town over summer and resuscitate the thread, should it go down by then.

ok. Good luck with your replies!

Well clearly the reaction it's received here shows just how right you are. Creative board would be nowhere near as dead if threads like this were put in there in the first place, or if people like you gave back to the board and commented on what others have to offer.

I'm not even going to read it until you put it in the creative board, where it should be and where everyone should do more stuff besides rating avatars and signatures.

It's alll in the jowells... OK so I actually went into uni today and made a bunch of notes. Got a small stack of books from teh library and feeling like I ought to be able to poop something half-decent for monday. Also got both of my courseworks back *yay* ... only to find one of them has the feedback sheet missing, thus I still don't know what my grade is, despite everyone else in my year having their results for like three weeks now. I did get 67% for my Contamination story, mind, which ain't so bad. Also I'm trying desperately to find a nice CD album for my mum's birthday. It's surprisingly hard to find a decent, respectable looking one. Tomorrow we go to uni to discuss 3rd year options... It's getting Serious. I will be asking about masters options, too - yikes!

I was prevented from doing anything last night -- I be kidnapped!

Went to the pub; hurrah. Met a couple of people that I'd met randomly last tuesday and played some cards and et cetera. Looks like we'll try and make it a weekly thing now, which is really cool. Never thought I'd meet new people that easily. Found out some of my coursework is available for collection, and picking it up tomorrow before seminars/lectures ought to be the start of a very university-orientated few days. Hopefully. I don't know. I just want to get wasted all the time. Been rather philosophical recently. that always seems to come around when I'm glancing at rock bottom. Serving for excuses. I don't know. Somebody re-enact the smallville opening theme tune, with me in mind plz?
