But my effing exam results are apparently not out until August. August, people, August. Students of other universities are already blowing their brains out and holding people hostage over their final degree results, and I have to wait til August for mine???? June. We all thought they were out in June. I thought they made an effort to release final year student's results early? Shit.

can you not cause carnage *because* you have to wait for the results? might help you pass the time.

Hm... not a bad idea, actually... I have already royally pissed my sister off because she does not appreciate how frustrating it is to be banking on getting my results this month, and then find out that they're ages away. I want to know if I've got the mark I need - don't want to apply for a postgrad. course and get a conditional place or whatever and *then* find out I did not make the grade.

Does anyone want to hear about how much marking I have to do and how much I hate it at this point?

Ahem. Sorry, Cho. Many sympathies.

Sorry, Deva... I appreciate marking must be a real pain... I certainly don't hold it against the poor fuckers who have to trawl through all our junk. But waaahhh nonetheless. Good luck though...

Yowch. The suspense! On the plus side, now is probably a good time to go shoplifting or do some other petty crimes. You can blame results rage. Act vague.

i do sympathise, chol. in theory, anyway - aeons ago, when i did exams and stuff, i really didn't care what the results were. 'cos i was in a band that was going to take over the world!

Well, I have always fancied trying my hand at graffiti...

Are you a final year type, MC?

I've never really cared about exam results before... this is a new experience. Where has my apathy gone? Drat.

Sorrrt of. That is, I would be graduating this year if I hadn't cocked up Signal Processing (well, they made me do Fourier analysis. Bastards!) Now I'll have to go back next year and do something else to make up the marks. I'm planning on some writey-type stuff.

09:19 / 05.06.02

Um. Jeez. That all sounds very scary. Good luck with the writey-type stuff, btw.

Sympathies, chol. Betcha did fucking wonderfully. (Sorry. Now I sound like someone's foul-mouthed gran).
Just forget about it. The cat's in the box- you just have to wait till Schrodinger lets it out, that's all.

Just wondering what you're actually doing, is it an ology?

Cat Chant

13:54 / 05.06.02

Oh, Cho, waaah nonetheless indeed - your trauma far outweighs mine, seeing as I don't know any of my students well enough to really care how their degrees went.

you must focus on all the stuff that makes you a great human being, so that by August you will be poised & serene & won't even care when your well-deserved high grades come slipping through your door. That'll teach the bureaucratic bastards.

I haven't even done my exams yet. First one's tomorrow (women in 19th century America) followed by the second and final one on the 11th (history of American West). What fun.

Alcohol, natures way of helping empty time past. Come join us... in the pub.

Aww, thank you, especially sfd, Deva, and Maominstoat. And Lada - thanks for the thought, and I often wish I could... but the only way drinking helps me kill time is the twenty minutes I have to spend trying not to throw up after even one sip of anything alcoholic. And I call myself a student??

invisible al - yep, it's an ology. Anthropology. Good for those with short attention spans. Very varied.
