nope i read it just for fun. my mum gave it to me to read in german when i was a kid and I remembered i liked it a lot, so i took it out in English from the library.Quote:

erhem, well... it's to do with probabemes (something my prof has made up and isn't quite sure a) what it is and b) if they exist) and "Funktionsverbgefüge" (~support verb constructions), e.g. to raise an objection (vs to object) or in German "zum Einsturz bringen"Quote:

Errr... great ! :DQuote:

i hate German terminology.. Funktionsverbgefüge sounds like a bunch of auxiliaries to me, like "should have" or "must have been" ... my friend who's a tutor too thought the same!
:blush:
This isn't really a boast, but I don't know where else to post.
I bought this scooty today, only the colour is blue. I am really feeling like this :blush: while posting :p

A shade lighter than the blue shown in this.

A lot of my commuting problems will be solved now. I will need to practice riding it a little bit, then i'll be fine. I will take litnet members for a ride also, you just need to have your insurance :p :p
:blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:
hehe, nice scooter Maddie :) congrats on buying it.
i went to univ by bike today (from my new flat which is much farther away then my old one)... it's about 15 km one way..
going there was great but coming back I had to battle against a strongish headwind. i felt like a zombie when i came home...
I got 1st place in a lip sync contest on Friday.
After I practiced for an hour, and beat people that had been rehearsing for weeks.
It was pretty neat.
Congratulations on the scooter Maddie! :D Looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun.
Congrats on your win megan.
This is a very fine Scootie! :)Quote:

Did our final essay on Saturday. It took three hours so we were a bit worried if we hadn't forgotten anything (the time for writing is 6 hours) but everything seemed okay. Well, we shall see in about two months.
Oh, and the topic was something like: Everything has a price, but a little has value.

Congrats Megan and Tal.

Right now, I'm in 6th period bussiness class. I've survived half a school day, only one period left! I still haven't stagered under the weight of my backpack. It's full of stuff, none of which I need for school and MOSTLY BOOKS!
I imagine it's a contest where people compete to see who can best lip synch to a song, as opposed to who can best sing it.Quote:

thanks Robin and Virgil :)
crazy Americans :)
Oh my goodness, six hours are quite a lot! But then, it all depends on the word limit. What was the word limit for your essay?Quote:

Oooh! I want a ride, Maddie!Quote:

This sales person at the showroom said he'll teach me how to ride, so he took me to a safe road, not much traffic, and gave me the charge saying "Okay, so I have explained everything now you can start." I was obviously excited and a bit nervous too about the controls, but, I said "Okay."
I had to press the break and push the start button, I did it several times and IT DID NOT START :eek2: !! Keeping my control (although at the back of my mind I was thinking "@#$ You gave me a faulty vehicle" :mad:) I asked him -- "Bhaiya (meaning brother) this is not starting, what could be wrong?" He very coolly said "You need to use the keys in the ignition" :lol: and I was like "Oh, Okay" :blush: :p
:lol: Aw, don't feel bad, Maddie. I do stuff like that too. You will get used to that scooter in no time. I would love to see all the beautiful nature spots, and maybe some museums. Er, can't forget about a cafe, so we can sit and have soft drinks or tea and some snacks. Snacks are good. :DQuote:

my fave teacher has just asked me to teach a tutorial to go along with his advanced course :)
well, I can't do it this term coz I'm already teaching 4 tutorials for my current boss's foundation course, but I'm so happy he asked me straight away after they decided there would be tutorials for the advanced courses as of now.
maybe i can do it next term
Good job, Sleepy! What type of coursework will be involved?
it's a linguistics course for 2nd term students.Quote:

(e.g. pidgins and creoles, different dialects and accents)
my job will be to revise with them what they did in class and answer their questions. that's what i do in the tutorial for the foundation course... but it might be different for the advanced course, seeing as they don't have a text book that they have to learn by heart, but have to read actual academic articles and gain a deeper understanding of the texts.
maybe I'll set them questions to keep in mind as they read the texts, so they'll be able to identify the main points and arguments...
hehe, well, that will be next term (starting October).. this term has only just started. it's the first week :)
Seems like you will have your work cut out for you....that must keep you pretty busy.
yep, but it's a cool job because it helps me prepare for my exams...
probably I'll have to re-read some of the 2nd term texts for my graduation exams anyway :)
Oh, congratulations, Sleepy !!! I would feel honoured to be tutored by you, I'm sure you're the right one for the job :nod:. And I'm not saying this just because my last term's tutorial was such a waste... ;)
I remenbered to stop reading and eat!!! (Nobody had to force me.....or tell me to put the book down) yay! yay! yay!
well done Baki :)Quote:

why was your tutorial a waste?
Congratulations Witch! :banana:
Mmm reading and eating at the same time has often ended in disaster for me. Probably because I'm uncoordinated and try to eat yogurt while reading ^_^

Congrats to 200 post counts, honor students and those who remember to eat in the midst of their reading. :D
Wow, very impressive. I always think I am doing well when I can simply make correct change when grocery shopping. Good for you!Quote:
