You really encourage me. If a person who got a UAI of 100 can say that, then I could definitely be excused.

Amen to that. I managed to skip 10 pages of my history reader because I read Wikipedia, which was pretty much the same thing, only without all the self-obsessed academic rhetoric.

Hey I PM'd you... we'll discuss it over there :)

Oh yay! Someone who's doing my subjects!!!!

That's true. And also, I've realised that the fact that we're not striving for an over-90 mark takes a lot of the pressure off. I mean, I never knew I could be so giddy over a 70. The standards are really, really different.

It seriously doesnt help that the World Cup is on as well... and all the games are at a time where my brain functions at its best. Grrr. Im so distracted. Ah well. C'est la vie! Que sera sera! *inserts other foreign phrases which indicate that I don't care*

Is anyone else freaking out about their upcoming exams? I just found out that the 'essential' bibiliography for one of my subjects was exactly that: ESSENTIAL. Duh, right? But considering there's more than 40 books in that list, I didn't think anyone would've been bothered to read all of them...

Anyone watching/keeping tabs on the Federer/Nadal game right now?

The bible states that God created many living things. Just because it doesn't explicitly talk about dinosaurs being created doesn't mean that the Bible doesn't account for them - it does, just not specifically. They would just generally come under the heading "living creatures" or "animals."

Believe me, no way do I think that ALL Christians are like that. My family supports a lot of missionary work and I know of so many cases wherein Christians are persecuted, heck, KILLED for their faith. I guess I was just trying to make a point and in the process kinda generalised. I apologise if...

littlewing69, as a Christian, I actually agree with you. What most people perceive to be 'Christianity' has in fact been a filtered version of how we Christians believe it should be practiced, which is not necessarily the right thing; it fact, it has often been the wrong thing! And yes, if Jesus...

When guys scrub up nicely, girls love that... but when they start OBSESSING over their looks, i.e. when they start asking if their pores are huge, when they worry about the size of their butt (one of my friends actually bemoaned that his was too "perky"), when they spend more time in the...

Margaret Freund? She's my tutor for Education... and she's nuts. Laughs really scarily too... and by herself as well.

10 minutes of work a week is fine... ...AS LONG AS YOU COULD HANDLE MAKING UP FOR IT IN THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO THE HSC!

Two packs of very unhealthy Asian instant noodles. Huge mug of very strong coffee. Typing up English assignment. SIGH.

Hmmm, I just e-mailed my tutor (who's also one of the lecturers)... and she said that it certainly doesn't mean a fail for me... I quote... "The footnotes and bibliography are, of course, essential parts of an essay, but if they are poorly done or missing that would certainly not mean an...

Phew. And by that I mean... big, big sigh of relief. Seriously. Without Bored of Studies I am totally lost and paranoid. Thank God for this forum.

It's considered a small error? Really? I'm guessing footnoting is way more important then?

Oh dear. Today, I just realised that I didn't even include a freaking bibliography for my history assignment. I am a major IDIOT. Can I just ask, does this mean I'm guaranteed a Fail? I footnoted everything to a T, by the way, so is there hope? Can someone please hold me while I cry?

I have these gorgeous gold flats that look totally hot... BUT FEEL LIKE HELL! I had blisters yesterday... not just small ones, mind you... huge ones on the back of my ankles, plus on my toes!!! SO GROSS! Seriously, the beauty of those shoes are just not worth the pain. Give me Havaianas...
