The intelligence in English Lit is ridiculously high, to use an analogy (whats this?) an English Lit Question takes form of an obstacle course, or walking a plank

Alone in a person's leisurely time, an obstacle can be negotiated without hassle without any constraints or frameworks, case in point: walking the plank which is sitting on a lawn.

In constraints and frameworks, in "finding a segment of a literary text and interpolate it in relation to a question", its when we are tested to our wits' end! Case in Point with that plank that was on the lawn before: Walk that plank 60 stories up

I'm going to have my first complain here:

Mechanical engineering final year (finish july next year). My thesis is due next friday, I'be barely started thanks to my mentor completely changing it and losing my entire computer (Back things up boys, trust me). I also have 3 other assignments to do before than.

Turns out sleep is for suckers :(

This. You could pretty much argue that African slavery is a necessity for the future and as long as your contention is sound, theoretically, you should get top marks. Theoretically.

Did listen to Italian all morning, helped to get my brain going and get me in the zone, so thanks for that bit of advice! The examiners weren't pricks, so that was good. Made a few errors but overall I think I did well. Would be happy to be in the 7-8 out of 10 range.

Do agree. The world we live in is so scientifically based. The average person really does not understand or truly appreciate science and one way to rectify this is making them take science for longer. Of course that is a quick fix and the way science and maths is taught also needs an overhaul in some ways.


I agree, it also does infuriate me how many people just say random scientific things on facebook or whatever medium and act like they understand it. From what I've seen, there are more people pretending to be smart and informed than ever!

I'm sure some overhaul is required in teaching methods, mostly because discipline and attention spans are plummeting (me included). Honestly though, is it really hard for a student to have to do a math and one science in senior years? Make an easier multi-strand science if any of the main 3 are too hard. Which I call balls on because I did all 3 and 2 maths in my final years while going out every weekend and playing shitloads of fifa.

Good. It's better than 10 years ago when they were pretending to be stupid.

Statistics can fuck right off! I feel so bad. I'm trying to do my part of a group assignment for a subject that is literally another language to me :(

It's pretty much ending in my group doing my part. I feel like a major dick.
Hopefully they accept beer as an apology along the lines of "sorry for being the shittest group member ever."

You have to preten to do something. As a third year that's the key ;)

Don't stress. The group will gripe about you in their reflective essays (if you have to do one) but other than that your collecting the marks for their hard work ;)

Got 49.5/50 in my latest eBusiness test :d

Also, for eBus, we have another group task which is due next Wednesday. One of the things we had to do was create a database and show it to our tutor to make sure we were on the right track with it. For the last 2 weeks whenever my group has shown our tutor our database, all she's said was "that's wrong, try again.". Didn't tell us what was wrong with it, just that it was wrong. Today we showed her again, and she said the same thing. We spent the next 1.5hrs trying to fix it, only to decide that what we had earlier was correct. So we show her again, and she looks at it and tells us we're right. GODDAMN IT WOMAN WE SHOWED YOU THE EXACT SAME ONE AN HR EARLIER

missed my last 3 lectures pulling an all-nighter for an assignment. Always find it weird watching the sun rise working on something you started before it set. Got it done anyway, also a fun night, three other friends were in the same situation, did a 1am maccas run, went slightly crazy but all good now.

One of my subjects = done!

Had my third & final test for it yesterday - needed to get 2.5/9 questions correct to pass the course overall, and was confident on at the very least 4 of them.
