Here's one for you CG: 



Btw. Bura happens like 40-50 times a year.

btw POTATOES
I guess I screwed my education up real good, since I'm not yet going to school and it started like full month ago.
And all because 1 exam that we were supposed to be able to transfer to next year, but due to some change in school system we can't.
I might just have another go on making a longbow, since I have loads of free time until they find a solution for 15 of us.

That sounds pretty bad Ash... and there's absolutely nothing you guys can do to improve the situation?

I on the other hand, really can't wait for my finals... the points you score is directly proportional to the amount of hours you've spent memorizing the content, rather than testing your real capabilities. What drives me sick the most is the fact that depending on how good I do there will pretty much say how good my superior education will be.

== highschool education everywhere on the planet.

@ Ash -  Still nothing?
They are really a bunch of assholes.

not really, I actually had to understand biology, chemistry, philosophy, logic, politics, sociology and maths to pass them
rest was like you said =)

oh, I got something, apparently we'll be pausing a year, fck yea, pretty epic, just what I needed :S
and guess what, now I need to do armadillo load of paperwork and list myself as unemployed and looking for job
oh, and when I do continue my education, it won't be free anymore (unless I change college), couldn't be better...
at least the guy that screwed us up got fired, not that it helps my situation, but it makes me feel a bit better.

[debux]

Well... it's something. Hopefully the next guy will be slightly more competent. Also, hopefully this experience will end up as a positive one, can you draw anything good out of it? Something you learned (like not to trust any incompetent to do his job? )?

Hai CGz! Belated congrats on the new relationship status!

[comrade_general]

Thanks, deebz!

[Ashanorath]

I learned to ask for a second and third opinion on everything and not to delay anything.
I could have done that exam and cleaned up the 1st year but I was lazy and now I'm suffering cause of it.
Oh well, life goes on, it's no use crying over spilled milk, right.

And gz CG on whatever new relationship status debux is talking about =)

[Jubal]

I really want to curl up and hibernate/die temporarily right now.

[Silver Wolf]

What happened?

[Jubal]

I'm suffering from the common phenomenon of "Week 5", pretty much (basically in Cambridge it's a general saying that people are usually incredibly stressed and tired by the fifth week of each eight-week term).

More accurately, I'm low on sleep, I really don't like the topic I have to write about this week, and generally things are a bit naff at the moment. It'll get better though. (We do a research/essay project every week as our main form of learning/teaching, which is theoretically about 20-30 hours reading then 10 hours planning/writing a 2000 word handwritten essay, and then there's a 2 hour supervision and about 8-10 hours lectures on top of that.)
