University Thread

I used to be really OCD about marks during Uni, waiting for them to come back, checking absurdly regularly for them, continually trying to work out what possible final grades I could get and what I could reasonably get in future assignments. Did the same thing when I got out of an exam started adding up marks trying to work out my final grade etc. Never got what BDR described more of the usual "why did I leave this to now?".

By final semester I had stopped giving most f**ks and didnt turn up to Uni for 4 weeks because Guild Wars 2 came out and I played it all day err day for a month and did any assignments the night before. That probably describes some people's (looking at you kungl) entire Uni career but out of character for me, used to attend every class etc.

ps. still haven't decided if I'm going back next year or not. No luck finding work so far.

Smashed out a 2000-word essay with extensive referencing in 5 hours. Bow to the master.

Impressive.

Got accepted into Tafe today. Worked full-time since I finished year 12, not sure I even remember how to write anything longer than a shopping list. Should be interesting.

Nice.. My last one for the semester was 3500 words and it took me more days than i care to recall. All the time i was picturing the person who formulated the asignment question having a good laugh to themselves about how f*cking difficult it was going to be for the students.

Massive bump. I'm starting university this year and I don't really have much of an idea yet. How does this timetable look?

Monday - Nothing
Tuesday - 10-12 (lecture), 1-3 (lecture), 3-5 (computer lab), 5-6 (tutorial)
Wednesday - Nothing
Thursday - 10-11 (workshop), 11-12 (computer lab), 1-3 (lecture), 3-5 (lecture)
Friday - 2-4 (workshop)
Saturday/Sunday - Nothing

Also, what is the difference between a workshop and a tutorial?

I'm jealous that you already know your schedule. I don't even get to enrol in units until February 3rd.

I can also change mine when more convenient timeslots come available. This was useful when I removed a class that went to 8, which I do not at all feel like doing.
