Good luck...

Bodhi! You seem to have made a mistake and substituted a '4' for a '3' in Slicer's name! The way you wrote it was almost as though you were being derogatory toward him and the way he choses to put a number where centuries of lingual evolution have ruled only letters should go!

Close one!

French: B

That was 10 years ago.

I'm sure I more than likely could have done shitloads better if I hadn't done each and every exam off the top of my head with no revision whatsoever.

And they'll mean precisely squat in 4 years when I have 2 degrees.

And even less 3 years after that when I become Dr. James thanks to my Ph.D

Copy 'n paste from Yarn, cos I'm a lazy cnut:

Well I finally got speaking to the guy in charge of the course I want to do in tech this year.

Good news and bad news:

Bad news: No accelerated course - they didn't have the numbers. So it'll be two nights per week, Mondays and Thursdays 6:15pm to 9:15pm for two years. Pretty much the same as doing A-Levels I suppose, except this will be in a broader range of subjects (modules cover Maths, IT, Psychology \o/, Sociology, English, Politics, History and so on).

Good news: It's now a full diploma, so I'll have Dip.SS after my name once it's complete. When speaking to the guy he said that a 75% pass in this course is the equivalent of an AAB at A-Level, so doesn't sound too hard in comparison.

The course is assessed mainly on an ongoing basis. There's no exams in the first year, it's solely assessed on coursework content. In the second year there's more coursework and then there's two exams at the end of the year, so only about 25% of the final mark is examination derived.

I asked him about the piece of written work that was designated on the courses booklet I got from the tech a couple of months ago, and he said that that was optional, and was only requested when he felt, after speaking to the candidate, that they weren't wholly convincing of their written and oral communication skills.

Needless to say a world class wibbler like me didn't need to end up doing that

I was accepted onto the course on the basis of our five minute chat, so he's sending out an enrolment form, which I get filled out and brought down to the tech with me ASAP.

Guess that means I can get a full time job.

Nuts. :/

By the way, I've decided that when I get to university I want to do joint honours degrees in Psychology and Philosophy before going onto do the Ph.D in Psychology.

So hurrah and all that jazz

 

[Summo]

Get in there, Sar!

 

[Sar]

Aye.

No uni until 2004 though. Doh.

FS I'll be 28 going on 29 by the time I start me Honours degrees :/ and 35 by the time I become a Doctor.

Double doh.

Ah well, still better than vegetating in that office for another 8 years.

 

[Summo]

And it means you'll be in yer late twenties and forced to socialise with nubile young 18 year old girls who will look up to you and admire your rugged chin and wise ways.

And lack of hair.

Heh, that's how just about everyone gets through RE, and also General Studies at A-Level.
