congrats sprinks and remarkable!
I've just had my 40 mins oral exam in Physical Geography and got a B. I would have given myself a C. I did know a lot, but the stupid examiner kept asking the wrong questions. I had studied my two special topics in a systematic way and could have given them in a logical, well-structured order, but he kept asking about stupid "facts" that didn't even really have to do with my topic.
Anyway, I can't complain about a B.
Congrats, Sleepy. What's left now?
I have just met a German lady who teaches ESOL at the college I work; have you heard from that job application yet?
now there's only regional geography (I'm doing the structural change of the US economy + toursim in Germany).Quote:

New puppy knows how to sit, fetch AND do his business outdoors (most of the time.) And he's only 7 weeks. XD

I finally got my exam results (for my graduation exams, similar to MA)
I've got an 1.68 overall. 1 is the best mark, like A and 2 corresponds to a B. So I'm somewhere around an A-. :banana:
I've got an A on my thesis :banana: and the dreaded C in Linguistics like I expected :( .
Congratulations, Weisinheimer - I hope you will be happy and successful in your new job.
Congratulations, Sleepywitch - what's next?
Congratulations, Virgil - does that mean you have an empty arm now? (Whoops, that dates me... and I shouldn't make jokes about such a worthy cause, so - apologies. They don't want my blood - too many allergies floating round in it, they said.)
Great job Sleepy. Does that mean now you're a teacher?
Kasie, thank you. I've never heard the expession "empty arm" but yes I probably do. :D
I did well. Only 2 pints, then coke the rest of the night:)
Great Kilt. That's discipline. You reminded me. I used to switch over to club sodas with a lime at some point. Everyone used to think I was still drinking something sophisticated :lol: and were shocked when they asked. One person was shocked at how much he thought I was drinking without getting the least bit drunk. :DQuote:

Good for you Lima. But why do they teach American history in Austrailia?Quote:

I think it's important that different aspects of history are taught everywhere.
I'm not from Australia, so when I did Aus history years back I was kind of bored.
American history has been my absolute favourite academic interest for a long time.
This year I'm doing History - America, Russia
Lit
English
Legal studies - crim and civil
and International studies - global issues and politics
I'm actually surprised at that question. Don't they teach other forms of history in America, other than.. American history?
The sad thing is, they probably do a better job teaching American history in Australia than they do here. My cousin, a high school senior at the time, once asked me, "who's that guy on the $10 bill." When I told him it was Alexander Hamilton, he asked, "oh, was he like the first president or something?"Quote:
