    It's that time of year again...

    A time of joy and wonderment, of good will towards men, of caring, giving, loving...

    I may be getting exams confused with something else...

    With that said, let the exam season, and all associated bitching, moaning, and gloating when you've finished before everyone else begin!

    I've never been so ill prepared for exams and yet not feel an ounce of worry. Usually I'd have clicked two days before them that jaysus I think I should open a book but nothing yet.

    The only thing that worries me is that I'm not worrying!! :D

    Is finding it very difficult to be motivated to study for a module that has nothing to do with my course...

    I think if they stopped doing that, they mightn't be able to return anywhere since ya know, you kinda need to breathe to stay alive and all :P

    If mouth-breathers are so dumb that they forget to breathe through their nose when they close their mouth then I reckon we might be better off without them.

    And this is why I do all my study at home. Mind you, I do live in Dromroe so home is usually only a 5 minute walk anyway. :pac:

    Ahem - very easily beaten....
    Booze - exam tomorrow - worried? No... Why - not because of the booze, it's because I'm not worried that I feel able to booze..

    The reason - because I understand.


    Boom and/or Zing....


    Good luck

    you're doing what? wood work? what do you have to do in your exam? make a bird table? come back to me when you're doing something that's actually not academic rather than arts and crafts

    So what you're saying is that you have a skewed impression of what Materials and Construction Technology for Education is? If you want to be schooled, send me a pm, In the absence of that pm I will assume the following to be thoroughly accurate...

    At this point I would be tempted to brand you an arts student. I fear that would be presuming 3 precedents....

    1. That I value arts less than human capital (which, as an educator I find abhorent)
    2. That I value your opinion (which as a person I find abhorent)
    3. That arts are less valuable to society than what I assume (and before you reply - I don't care) to be your future occupation. I think in my Da's day it was known as something like.... "bitch".... is that right? - am I getting the pronounciation right there? - I could be wrong - it has happened though you may not believe it....

    *shrug*

    What a pisstake. The course is one of the more challenging ones in the college and goes far beyond 'making a bird table'. Talk about insulting.

    Keep it calm, folks.

    There's nothing wrong with doing a degree course that includes practical application beyond teaching the next generation of people doing your degree course. Equally, there's nothing wrong with doing a degree course that has only the practical application of teaching it to the next generation (often the most pertinent criticism of arts courses). Horses for courses, as they say.
