For those who just joined us, I'm taking a double-strength workload, compressing the time it takes to earn my degree from 36 months to 21 months;... Read More
Last study period (about two weeks ago) I had an assignment which nearly killed me[1].
I executed more than one all-nighter to get it done. It was a research report into inter-user interaction methods for Internet media businesses.
I received the results today: 33/35 == 94% == HD+
Much better than I expected for something I felt was half-arsed.
Comments from last post appreciated.
I just came across this Charlie Brooker article in the Guardian and thought it very important to share with everyone, especially those who consider themselves at all spiritual. It has a very important point but is still funny.
Here's the first paragraph to whet your appetite:
In the 18th century, a revolution in thought, known as the Enlightenment, dragged us... Read More
I was attending an engagement party at a pub in London. I was 'orribly bored.
I remembered that my favourite band, amiina was touring at the time but didn't know where exactly.
I wandered out of this pub and across the narrow cobblestone road to another pub. This pub was bigger than the previous. It's lighting... Read More
I saw the Bourne Ultimatum today with my dad. A good movie for seeing with your dad, unless he is a huge pacifist or hates Matt Damon. I liked it, and I was surprised that I liked it.
Had a really great chat with my dad afterwards. In many ways, I... Read More
You dad sounds a lot like mine. He's also into cars but chose something else for a living. He's actually done a few cars on his own at home. Some really full on jobs too, like cutting the rear quarter off one car and welding on a new one. All on his own.
The problem I have is that I've spent years trying to understand him, and hopefully give him a way to understand me, but I'm starting to think some things are just the way they are and they'll always be that way. He's too left brain, I'm too right brain.
Having a good relationship with your old man is a good thing. So more power to you.
I want to write a post about the intricate mental challenges I'm experiencing from reading Mark Z Danielewski's books. I had a longer one planned but upon attempting to write it, it unravelled.
I read House Of Leaves while living in London (Goldfish has my copy at the moment -- may God have mercy on her as she reads it). It was a life-changing... Read More
I've been powering through White Oleander ever since you left, in the hope of re-beginning House of Leaves again asap.1 And I really enjoyed talking to you about your novel earlier also. I'd definitely love to borrow it when I finish it's heavy predecessor, if I may.
Good news:
3 assignments completed! Still have to research and write another 2,000 words worth but that's not due until Monday morning (11am AEST). I am super-student, from the Planet Do-It-All-At-The-Last-Minute!
Or some sort of assignmenting robot.
Cool news:
I received all of my results back from the last round of assignments. ALL High Distinctions! Rock on!
another program/site for me to try to figure out.
Well done. That's uh ... pretty much the highest mark you can get.
Thanks for commenting, I miss reading your stuff.
