Nothing now until the 23rd!

Ya!

Passed BioChem!

Ya!

I leik Pie.

Pie pie
Chunky custard
all the rest do not cut the mustard!

Well, it's back again... second semester SWOTVAC. Last day of classes for most tomorrow (stupid RMIT kids have already finished theirs). Only one exam for me, but a shiteload of assignments... how's everyone else looking? JE - global pol will be firm will it not?

Our year finished last Friday, and exam period began this Monday just past.

I will be doing Human Nuerobiology tommorrow, one of my better subjects, but made all the more hard by the smart-alec bastard course convenor he thought it would be "a bit of a chuckle" (his words) to make the exam all short answer/essay questions from obscure yet broad area's of the course.

Bugger making me study every last silly detail grumble grumble I liek Milk.

Hmmm... I have no qualms with my hour long test. It's the 8000 words due in that annoy me.

8000 words!! = ouch.

Exam on the 14th, and our lecturer broke his leg in 2 places so we didnt even get a proper tute yesterday, which was the last day. Which just makes for a positive outlook on the whole thing.

8000 words is nothing!!!!
maybe 20 pages or so!!!!

SWOTVAC begins. Boogieman's posts go up.

Much procrastination for all

focus!

finished my one and only exam on the 30th. then straight back to work woo hoo.

good luck to all you guys

What are you studying Boogie?

I've got my only exam on the 11th... I'm screwed for it too.

One down, 3 to go.

Study is a big NO NO.

Hi! I'm new, but seeing as procrastination is one of my bestest skills (Arts student ahoy!) I thought this would be a great place to start (if no-one minds)

And really, the only way to procrastinate is to convince yourself that by having a beer (or another type of delicious alcomahol) per page of note reading, you're still having fun while studying...6 pages later, you're studying while having fun, and by the end of a chapter, you're lucky if you're still standing (depending if you're reading a history text book or not)

Cheers!

Pulsar... another arts student! This is great... we now total 3! Where you studying? What's your major etc etc?


JE and I are at Melbourne... He's doing politicsy stuff and I'm doing Media/Communications.

Ha ha ha go Arts go Arts! I'm majoring in Asian Studies and doing a DML in Indonesian actually - i'm through with politics fair dinkum - and need very minor scores to pass the year! Which = no study


RP I bet you will get a better score than me in global despite the fact that I've actually attended more than 30% of the lectures compared to your 10%. Firm.

Hmmm... I'm set for tomorrow. I'm going to eat English Literature for afternoon tea.

Then I have 6 days of school, then monday = English (Tegh 3V1L), and Phys Ed. . Tuesday - Break day for me, on Wed = Methods (Meh, I hope I can remember the equations) and my last day = Thursday = Chem and Physics (Which is how I'd liek to end my year - though I'm disappointed that they be introduced Quantum Phsyics into the Yr. 12 course in '05 .

Bah, Physics had traces of quantum physics in it back in my day (last year), it's not THAT difficult to grasp at high school level.

PulsarSkate: I'm intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Also, welcome to VicFF.

I was blessed by Huggard this year with two easy text questions and a relatively simple issue on teh English exam. No problems there.

Spec might have been a bit easier if had I actually studied for it at all, but of course, such drastic actions should only be reserved for getting into something like medicine.

Methods, Physics and Legal up next - all pretty easy, although with VCAAs decision that "exams this year should be less predictable" I fear I may actually have to learn concepts of light for physics. Oh well.

Hahahahahahahahahaha...Specialist.....hahahahahaha

Okay, I think I'm over it.


...Wait, no I'm not. *Falls off chair in a fit of laughter*

What are you studying Boogie?

well, i'm not studying anything in the sence of that way... i'm still at school. i just call the time off before exams SWOTVAC cos i can't think of anything else

and i'm still in year 11 - but i am doing two year 12's so i should prolly study for them, but meh.

Study is for those who don't know how to procrastinate.

Howdy Pulsar, obviously a fan of the X-Wing books. Good to see.

Just a quick note: around here the idiots who pretend to run the place get narky if you speak openly about alcohol.

We've adopted the synonym of "Milk" for all alcohol related discussions: doubly handy because you can discuss "pints" without it being obvious you aren't actually referring to bovine excretia.

Oh, and Welcome to our crazy corner of the intraweb.

What he said. And I didn't read any of this, because alcohol is bad and you shouldn't drink it.

Oracle assigment is cruising along well

Ahhh milk...sweet, sweet milk

Thanks for the toasty welcome! I'm out at the Latrobe Hippy Farm doing History, so I get all the fun of the dark ages, combined with the extra special excitement of massive essays!

But it's only T-minus 3 hours and counting til total brain evacuation...
