Maybe some of our lurkers should speak up.

If they're not too paranoid or trying to play both sides

 

[Axver]

You're telling me. In 24 hours I'll be halfway through my exam. Or I'll be in the foetal position under the desk quietly sobbing and muttering something about cultural representation.

Oh god, I have this exam on the 10th that can't possibly go well. Check out these sample questions from past exams:

How far can we approach questions of international relations in terms of the everyday?

How has the globalisation of neoliberalism affected the relationship between self and other?

What is the significance of pluralising masculinity and feminism for approaches to the international?

... what.

I hope losers know where they belong.

The children have spoken. Ask Ashley!

It's true. Never doubt the children.

Sorry, what?

I'm expecting to do alright with my exam because it's only two questions and they both pertain to things I've studied in other papers recently. Ditto my exam on Friday, although that's probably going to be a bit dicey.

Thursday's exam should take care of itself. It's just selecting stories and writing them for a two minute radio bulletin.

 

[coolian2]

They're the future, even if they're a bit dumb.

 

[bono_212]

They're the future, even if they're a bit dumb.

They did elect Bush twice.

This exam will have seven illogical goddamn questions, of which I need to respond to two. I fully expect that at least one will be a rant about how the question itself is meaningless. I think I can actually do it in a way that will get me marks too. We'll see. I'm just so sick of bullshit like this. It doesn't even matter any more, since I can totally bomb this and it will not impact my entry to Honours in the slightest.

Hah, that Thursday exam of yours sounds like a piece of piss.

 

[coolian2]

Do I look like I give a flying fuck that Chris Berman is going to talk to Obama and McCain at halftime of tomorrow's game?

How about telling us it's two teams who have good records. Especially if you're advertising it to overseas audiences.

 

[coolian2]

Hah, that Thursday exam of yours sounds like a piece of piss.

I'm hoping so. It's almost impossible to fail. Just keep it to 360 words, get in six stories and although the lead story should be completely obvious, if you can justify your order of stories you should pass.

 

[coolian2]

Oh my god it's hot.

 

[coolian2]

They did elect Bush twice.

And now they're communists

This sounds like something I could do, despite having never studied the field.

Some exam.

It's not a bad idea because it's similar to actually working in a newsroom.

But I'd be shocked if I didn't pass.

Worshipping Sol?

 

[coolian2]

Worshipping Sol?

They're not that stoopid

Ian what's your major

 

[coolian2]

Ian what's your major

I've not got one yet. It's a toss up between radio and journalism.

I won't enjoy radio, but I know I'll hate journalism.

 

[Axver]

Ian what's your major

He's studying how to waste space at public universities before going to pilot school.

Ah. Why are you doing something you don't enjoy? Just to have something to fall back on if flying doesn't happen?

 

[Cin]

Oh my god it's hot.

that's because I've just turned up the heat

 

[Cin]

ooooh, you could be a DJ. Or drive the Black Thunder and hand out icy cold cans of Coke all day

Afternoon, cin.

[coolian2]

I thought I would enjoy it...but not so.

Now I'm just doing it for something to fall back on.

 

[coolian2]

Hello cin

 

[Axver]

Semester's almost over. This week is swotvac before exams. I never had class on a Monday this semester anyway.
