Man- I'm thinking about starting a master's program in February. I don't know- I dread it but I want that degree. My work will pay for half.
Niamh, Scher, MotherH - you are Gluttons for Punishment! But good luck in your endeavours.
Only a couple of weeks left of the heritage course and the panic of the final assignment is setting in! doesnt help I have an assignment for the Voices and Texts Course the week after. Waiting on the first of the assignments from that course to come back. worried would be the word i'd use.
However in saying that i'm looking forward to the Fiction writing course!
Hows school going for everyone else?

I got a C this semester, too. It was my first one. And it was a C-.

Just got my result back for TMA01 for my Voices and Texts course. 76% I'm quite pleased with the result, especially considering the big mess up at the end!Now i just got to get the final TMA for Heritage? Whose Heritage? out of the way for Friday Week.

About to submit another assignment; aiming for another C, which seems to be the theme of the year.

Oh is this a school type/exam thread?
I just took a practice QTS skills test in maths and English. I passed the English (should hope so) but failed the maths quite dramatically. I can do maths though, I just need to recap things, but I'm not good with the timed mental arithmetic, too much like pain - I wouldn't even have bothered with it but Mrs Neely told me to have a go as she had just equally failed. The tests can be found on the TDA website, online tests. Have a go if you are really sad like me and Mrs Neely and do English and maths tests in our spare time for fun. I'm sure life was not meant to be like this...
Edit: do you believe in an alternative universe, for example whereby another Mr Neely can be found drifting around Paris with groups of good looking, intelligent people necking fine wine? I'm just joking, can't be having as much fun as this one...

I believe we may have bumped into each other there a few weeks back, Neely - we paused briefly to discuss the meaning of life but our good-looking, intelligent friends hurried us on to the next party.
You know what this means, right? Had you been at student at my College, they would have sent you to one of my classes to "improve" your Numeracy!
Life is such fun at times!
Just submitted my assignment; happy that I managed to complete it without asking for an extension despite everything. I will be disappointed if I don't get a C.
And next assignment sounds even more interesting!![]()

Kasie, yes, didn't we meet just outside of the opera house - y'know by the fountain? We had a nice cool glass of something golden and then had to depart to do something dull (oh no, if it is an alternative universe that wouldn't have to happen of course, silly me).
Round 2 tonight - me Vs Mrs Neely. I'm going to win both today - that is, I'm going to try to fail with a higher mark in maths than her, maybe even try to pass it!! I'm not even going to have a drink before today, but after. I'll report back later with the exciting news of the results. Wish me luck...
Edit: Oh I wouldn't like to be in one of your classes, no offence of course, just would be scary. Are you sticking up for me or Mrs Neely in the second test? I assume that you will stick up for me, not one for supporting the girls eh??

Beaten by one on both tests. Now got a headache with the stupid maths test. Need a beer before I go insane. Did much better though, but oh...
Postcard from alternative Neely:
Weather here in Rome is just fine. Currently sat outside the Piazza del Fancio with a group of intelligent, attractive people. Kasie is coming down in a bit fresh from a Wagner thing.
It's beautiful here. Ciao.
