Go Niamh!! Whoo!
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?

Congratulations, Niamh!
Commiserations, Classic Charm - is there any way you can appeal or ask for a re-assessment?
I stayed up with a long translation till 3 am - waking up early to get to the class where we were supposed to hand it to the teacher after just 2.5 hours of sleep didn't result in one of my greatest mornings...

I hate group assignments. I don't like the pressure of other people relying on me, and I REALLY don't like having to rely on other people

It's just frustrating when you do well in the lab and you know your stuff until you're asked a question way out of the league of the course.

I have a well-figured solution: renounce your life as it is and make a radical change. Leave your apartment and studies, leave it all behind, and start a new life as a rover... or wanderer, nomad, vagabond, anything that's a synonym for lack of stressful obligations that will never let you catch a quality sleep, but if you are a vagabond, you can sleep anytime anywhere without remorse. After all, sleeping is the vagabond's expertise
I hate them too. There's often someone pretending you to do the hard job for them.I hate group assignments. I don't like the pressure of other people relying on me, and I REALLY don't like having to rely on other people
Moving the goalposts like that is just not on, CC - surely it affected the rest of your fellow students on the course? Can't you go all together as a deputation to the unfair professor and point out that Mind Reading is not part of your curriculum until next year? Or mention it to the fair professor and hint he might like to have a word with his collegue on the subject of fairness and even-handed nature of tests? Exams are supposed to test what you know, not what you don't know, after all. That kind of test is a different kind of animal and comes before you start on a course so the teacher knows where to start teaching you, not at the end - not much good him/her knowing that too late, is it?
And throw away hard work of two and a half years at the university and 12 years of schooling before that?

Today I was rather productive, for once - I took care of some choir-related matters, translated an article about biological wastewater treatment and went trough an article about cloning about which I'm supposed to do a terminology assignment (and a translation of course, but the terminology deadline comes first).
Tomorrow I have to do some Russian homework and write a formal letter in Swedish, but all in all I feel like I'm getting on with my homework load much better now than during the past couple of weeks.

You can always rob a bank if you plan it carefully.......I doubt, however, that I'd be able to survive that long without regular income. I like having enough food and a roof upon my head
Wastewater.... hmm... sounds stinky!
Good luck on these assignments
