Nyyyaarghh!

Is anyone else at uni starting to get the essays piling up on them?
All my work has to be in by the end of next month (we finish end of April/beginning of May), but there's soooo much work to do which has to be in at the end of the year >: (

I got three 3000 word essays to be in, I have at least two 1200 word essays to be submitted, a presentation on mental health (which is supposed to be done in pairs but I have to do it on my own because theres an odd number of people in the class), two further stupid health essays and a proposal for my dissertation, its crap! So much friggin work for the next month : (

On the plus side we had people come in from The Priory today giving talks about their drug/alcohol addictions and stuff, which makes me really want to work with addictions now because it seems like a really interesting psychiatric ward to be involved in..

Oh well, back to my essay : (

(At least I have no exams this year : ))

Sounds exciting

uh, I hate those health essays and things like that

I don't go to college yet, but our teachers always give us that as either a general essay or a punishement

yey I get the ol' 2000 word essays often enough.

Have another one to do with "Contemporary Issues in Multimedia" due in the next two weeks.

Should probably get started....

The one I'm currently typing up is about the NHS and health inequalities due to the lack of funding. Its crap how everyone actually has a price on their life, and that when it boils down to it, the NHS will choose the best 'value for money' when it comes to treating people, and will let others suffer or even die due to the fact they can't help everyone. Statistically, the higher class you are, the faster you get through the NHS system for treatment. (So much for free healthcare, eh?)

Essays are fun, as long as theyre on a subject you enjoy. No history essay is boring :ey

In Russia the most common scale is 2-5. The worst mark is 2 and the best one is 5 (or 5+, similar to A+).

You're looking at the guy who had a 4.0 GPA since 1st grade.

Exactly. C is for idiots - it is just a pass, it isn't average.

Posted: **Tue Mar 06, 07 11:58 pm**

Doesn't matter if its C til its your final education, tbh.

Posted: **Tue Mar 06, 07 11:58 pm**

Nein! C is shit for you! C is average in the Uk. :wink:

I'm not abnormally intelligent so I usually get C's.

Posted: **Tue Mar 06, 07 11:59 pm**

C is average here too.

What the chuff is that? Have you been to university yet? If not, I'm (on paper) more educated than you. By no means does this mean im the most intelligent though so dont come down on me.

I can't wait to graduate, find a job, get a semi-decent wage and settle down.
