I am going to fail PHYS1210 in its entirety. I mean, not one assessment task, but all of them. 0% on the exam. I'll, like, finish 4th year and still have this 1st year course I have to re-do, or something.

Hhaah oh ...

well i just wanted to feel better about my recent..ff.f..fail

god damn it still hurts.

For my peice of writing i composed an "argument".

uh i was basically told not to if i wished to pass, as being an overly opinionated fuck would just screw me over, as they were not going to take such a bogus argument seriously, no matter how well i justified it.
I was just s'posed to just regurgitate facts
Agreeable, researched, credited facts
And present them nicely.

I didnt

I failed.

Bitches

It was still a damn fine argument!

It was MY argument, not someone elses. It was MY research. It was MY idea.
As if not value that.

It was good and real. Why did it have to be published by some middle aged man in the middle ages for it to be accepted. :(

Im going to fight this to the death, theyre going to re-read it and APPRECIATE it!

Oh yeah and um my presentation was.. rather "experiemental" shall we say.

Yes, thats what we shall say.

No more diagonals, or cut outs...

Yeah well im going to be the biggest freaking suck up in my next assesment, im going to besically rewrite the lectures in my own words and win! If thats what they want, thats what they'll get.

As if discourage individual thoughts and opinions.

Fuckers.

I really wish i had just been a good student now

I wish i had done my work

I wish i had done it how they wanted me to

F = no scholarship... ever
F = public humiliation "ha ha.. look shes stupid!"
F = ego hurt ego hurt ego hurt !!!
F = no more being able to say "yeah i can pass anything, any time.. easy"
F = no transfer to another course or another uni if i get the urge
F = permenantly on record.. Forever...
F = No longer being overly opinionated in tutorials and shooting people down over anything.. cus well i got an F, they all beat me! How could i possibly justify ever voicing my opinion on anything again!

theres no escape from that damn F

Its not liberating
Its not cool
Its not satisfying in any respect

I got a "See me if special consideration is required" down the bottom of my sheet
Cus my grandma died
Its not an excuse... not a REAL excuse...
But now im thinking of seeing if the "circumstances" can push me up to a pass minus atleast.

Cus i dont want to be a lousy F student

Forget the fact im going fine in the rest of my subjects, more than fine even.

That one fail has taken the joy out of every other decent mark ive recieved.

Haven't failed anything at uni yet but I've gotten very close to it - 50% mk in fact for a major essay done last year.

Have a bad gnawing feeling about a mid sem I did two weeks ago btu we'll see :(

I haven't failed anything since a few maths tests back in yr 9/10 high school.

Failed statistics quiz--3/10. I found out on WebCT just now. Hopefully when I get the hard copy back I'll see if it's true or not. *cries* I don't wanna fail maths just because of the statistics part--I'm ok in calculus. If I repeat this unit I will die because my other units are ok.

My first quiz for MATH1001 brutally murdered me cos I had 3 other assessments the same week and the same day! It was worth 10% and I only go 2/10...but I did well in the others!

I haven't failed anything, but I've come so so so close. I hate subjects where you need to pass the final exam to pass the course.

The only reason to get good marks is so you can continue being an arsehole in tutes. :)

... you don't do Pharmacy by any chance? 'Cause we just had a stats quiz... and the marks are now available on WebCT...

I thought it would be easy and so I didn't study for it- just wrote out some notes. Then during the quiz I thought 'hey, this isn't too bad... some of the questions are tricky but the test isn't hard'.

Anyway, I only just passed that quiz. I was devastated when I saw the 6/10... I was like "wtf? I only just passed? I should've studied..." :eek:

Although I haven't failed anything yet I've come so uncomfortably close twice already... e.g. 5/8 for one of my Bio quizes
