You HAVE to tell. You have a moral duty now!

It can't be as bad as PandaPants surely??

How are you guys coming along with the defs? My flight is delayed, so I've been studying since 11am, got the caution, Courtesy and half of the Human Rights Act more or less learned. Looking forward to PACE. Not.

I've deprived myself of free drink until I've studied, so as soon as I get on this flight I'm hitting the champagne, lying back and watching movies.

I actually don't think its as ad as Panda Pants tbh

Some funny person changed it to Roger Rabbit... bit of an anti climax hey?

Always gets a laugh when people want to bluetooth me stuff tho. And yes... it will be switched off!

That would be pretty heart breaking!

pb999 · 21-01-2009 09:43PM

i wouldnt be surprised if they were turned away yesterday for being late considering the SRD was monday!

there were a couple of no shows on the day, bit of a waste if they were turned away for tardiness, but the pack explicitly says 9am and good time keeping was reinforced to us on monday

Griffer2 · 21-01-2009 10:14PM

Aww i'd be gutted big time but even still if you were told to be there by 9 you should be there about half 8 or so

I thought i was mega late strollin in at 8.45 too

I'm finding the studying much easier than I thought. I've been writing everything out repeatedly until I can write it from memory. I've only PACE to go now. I more or less know everything else, but I'm finding it difficult to say things out loud, yet I can write them down with no hesitation. Anyone finding the same? Or am I weird??

I've spent all my travelling time studying and a couple of hours when I was wide awake at 3am, thanks to the time difference! :rolleyes:

I've been up for over 24 hours now, so I'm going to bed. Hope everyone's studying is going well.

smyff · 22-01-2009 10:03AM

lol well you knew what i meant i thought it was tuesday

Sounds like a good idea. Ive been able to say it out load. Finish PCR, gonna start CJS later. Hows the workbook going?

I can't start the workbook until I get home. The disc is not Mac compatible, so I have to try and get a Windows PC to look at it. I'm not home until Wednesday, so I'm going to have to blast through it before Sunday. So I'm making sure I know all my defs before I get home.

I thought about bringing the disk with me and printing it out over here, but I was too scared of losing it and getting in trouble!

I was under the impression that Mac's are compatible with all PC disc images. It's not the other way around though, PC's don't read MAC formatted discs. What's it saying when you try to run the disc?

I dont know if youve had a look at it but the workbook is fine. So dont be worrying about it. These defs are doing my nut in.

I didn't even try it because I had asked during the SRD and was told that it wasn't Mac compatible, he said it was because they don't use Macs in G-town.

yeah, theres not much to the workbook, you could do it in a couple of hours.

defs are doing my nut in as well, i keep stumbling and messing up a word here and there for the first one! but the others are easier, i'm trying to avoid the big long one on page 4! maybe if i dont look at it it'll go away!

how many are you folk learning??? i'm aiming to get all those needed for week 5 learnt word perfect. is anyone being a total swot and learning the whole book? (i'm looking at you panda!)

I'm only doing what I need to for the moment. If I get any spare time I might work ahead, but I'm struggling with PACE at the moment. I'm just getting silly words mixed up. It's doing my head in!!!!!!!!!!

from what i've heard of the test, its all blank apart from the odd comma or "the" etc here and there. It says to learn them verbatim, which to me means learn them off by heart and where the commas etc in them are.....so thats what i'm doing. just writing them out over and over, also recorded them so i can listen to myself saying them. i've got 6 of them perfect, two more shortish ones to get and then the big PACE one
