So I spoke to a lecturer at Uni today. She's the person to talk to about getting into Honours, at least in Philosophy.

Apparently I need about a 5.0 average (out of 7.0) to get offered a place, after I've completed my Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Philosophy.

So far it's looking pretty good. I'm running roughly a 6.0 average.

One thing I didn't ask, which I should've, was whether I could do a double Honours, like I'm doing a double Major...

The Uni probably wouldn't let me. Apparently I'd be doing 3 classes over 1 year, as well as writing a thesis, for Philosophy Honours. I don't imagine they'd think I'd have time to do the same for Creative Writing...

And if I do do Honours, I'll technically be enrolled in 2 Unis at the same time. Because there aren't enough Philosophy students at either Uni, so 2 of them have teamed up. (There are 3 Unis in my state.)

And yay! Last day of classes for the semester! Woo!

*looks at essays that haven't been written yet*

*looks at deadline*

*pours more coffee* :tongue

I remember all nighters. Heaps of coffee and something mindless in the background. Come to think of it, something mindless in front of me too. :D

You've come to the right thread for that!

There's a university in my hometown named Austin Peay (pronounced "pee"). For fun the students yell "Let's go Peay!" at sports games and such.

There's a story doing the rounds that the University of Northumbria once tried to change its name to the City University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, until somebody told them what the acronym would be.

It would be rude not to take advantage of the opportunity that Flinders University presents in this regard.

FU Forever!

ROAR :D

Isn't there a National Union of Teachers (NUTs) organization in the UK?

Ah, fun with technology...

So, I have a laptop and a desktop, an iPod and an external hard drive.

The external had 1 album missing that was only on the laptop. So I had to switch the laptop on to rip the new CD, then copy both the new and the other one to the external, then put the new music on my iPod, then use my external on the desktop to transfer the 2 CDs.

So basically I spent half an hour fucking about, and haven't actually listened to any of the new CD yet.

My plan? Put the new tracks on in Winamp, no shuffle, and take a nap (I never sleep during naps, I just get comfortable) to listen to the whole thing.

2 birds, 1 stone. :tongue

Good morning, house of higher learning. *snort, chuckle, snerk*


I went to the University of Cape Town. UCT. There seemed to be no end to the acronyms people made out of that. :D


Month end. I now have to run around paying bills because hubby still stubbornly refuses to do internet banking. :gaah

Catch you later.
