b) Not a single person turned up. Not one. .... How the hell does anything get done in this uni?! That's really fucking shitty and harsh Tell me about it next time and I'll go watch Zorro or whatever ;D As for organisation; I've known from day 1 that this university was absolutely crap at a couple of things but mainly COMMUNICATION. Things just don't get sent to the appropriate people, or only get sent when it's too late. It happens in every aspect of the university and it's really annoying, and of course, they blame always gets laid on the unfortunate student who just happened to be a victim of bad organisation on the uni's part.

Oh, and something else I heard that will probably not be good news for you "warned" Jap students - though I don't have off a confirmed source. Apparently there are far far too few places available in Japan in comparision to the number of students. I honestly can't believe the dept has fucked up that badly, but who knows? no apparently what this is about is that 30 people went last year so we technically have 30 places allowed to us, however we can all go over because if more of us go over more japanese people can come over here so it benefits both sides. if that makes any sense...

How the hell does anything get done in this uni?! Through about 50 layers of bureaucracy, God knows how many committee meetings, and 1 person to not be told about it and therefore screw it up. And if something does change it's usually worse than before It's more badly mismanaged and overly bureaucratic than anything else

i only get marks like that too marisa, i know how you feel. he's not metioned to me that im doing badly, so if he says its working he honestly thinks youre improving and he will be pleased. at the very start i felt like he expected so much from me and that he would think i was crap for not getting like 100% but from talking to him i realsie now that hes just trying to scare us into working, and its not that he expects us to know everything overnight. keep holding out!

Blah, my annoyance is mostly just work related. >.> Even though our lecturers made a coursework timetable, they haven't stuck to it, so we've ended up having 6 pieces piled up on us at once, all to be handed in at a similar time. We haven't even finished handing in the first lot, and they're already setting more. >.< They're also expecting us to be able to do things we've never actually been taught: in the first year, we learned the programming languages Python and Java. For the artificial intelligence coursework, we had to program in C++. For this new databases coursework, we're expected to program in C. WTF. I just seem to e constantly stressing about work these days, it's horrible. /vent

I like the occasional typing error to remind us of the blinding rage you're under as you type! And don't say you're friday night's boring; hey, I've spent most of tonight sitting in a train station in Crewe freezing my arse off! I'm sure the bank will see reason in the end, they're normally pretty reasonable if you can talk to a person who knows what they're doing. Tough break on the orthodontist though. <hug>
PS jaffa cakes rock!

In defence of MANkind: Okay, i admit. The vast majority of men in this world really are attracted to dumb, blond bimbos who've swapped brain development for breast development and a personality for a really really short skirt. And, most girls fitting that description are easier than spotting a black man in a BNP meeting, which sadly is what the modern man wants. No self respecting girl could or would compete with that. On the bright side, the vast majority of those same guys are vain, arrogant, and so insecure that they only feel comfortable when constantly bragging of imaginary conquests or screwing people over. There are those of us though who aren't like that. who like their women independant, capable, and confident. who make us work for their affection and are our equals or superiors. We are the ones who've learned to think for ourselves, who've managed to pull away from the permanent adolescence that is de-rigeur among the modern man, who have learned that there is more to life than when to get wasted and who to fuck next. We may be in the minority but we exist. you just have to look a little harder. You couldnt have said it better man! ;D I am fed up of this too! I am also fed up with the fact that a large majority of girls go for the wrong guys and leave us behind! I know for a fact that I can keep a girl extremely happy, secure and feeling loved... As apposed to these Men who, Cheat, Flirt around and dont pay attention/love their girl... Your statement of insecurity is too true, i know quite a few people who i pass in Art College who have the attitude described above and it really pisses me off because these are the ones that take Nice girls under their arm and treat them like shit... It happened last year too with a friend called Amy... She was chasing this bad guy called Gav who constantly messed her around, ignored her after the 'business' was done and generally treated her like crap... Everytime she was in tears, i was picking up the pieces for her, only to find that she would go for him again and again with the same outcome... After all the talks and comforting, i thought she would come to her senses at one point... Maybe even realise from what i was giving her in advice that there are actually guys worthwhile out there... No man should ever make a girl cry unless its an extremely valid reason... Now sure, some of the girls go out looking for this exact thing when they go out, and fair enough, each to their own, i wont get involved with you... Meeting new girls for us guys isnt always an easy task either, as youve put it, a large majority enjoy clubbing, drinking and primiscous (Cant spell it) activities with someone meaningless... Im looking for the complete opposite, Someone who could happily spend a night without needing Litres of alcohol to have a smile on their face and someone who doesnt need to goto clubs to have fun either... I need Someone who enjoys watching a good movie in my arms, someone who wants to go on some random walks thru the park, someone i could take ice skating, someone i could take to the Leeds Utd Games, someone to play Bubble Bobble with and best of all someone i can trust and rely on... SO GIRLS IF YOU ARE READING, WE ARE THE HOTTIES!

The Art Of 'Girl -> Wife -> Hell' ( Prepares to be flamed by the women ) To be honest, i dont believe that logic one bit... Its jsut TV'ised rubbish making Stereotypical wifes seem awful... I personally think that if you find the right one/a damn awesome girl who has a load of interests, then that time will never come... If youre arguing too much within a relationship then it obviously isnt working Im not too worried about a girlfriend as of yet, dont worry about me Ash Right now, its Adam time, and i have quite alot of stuff to do Also, being a geek is actually an awesome path of life... We know the real meaning of life and have other enjoyments to life that others will never experience! I wont deny being a geek, hell, i run an Online Retro Game Shop! How can i deny it!!!! however i dont think i look like a geek on the outside ! AnimeSocDating... M/19/Single/NarutoFan ;D ill be wearing a Suit and Tie next week with my best fragrances, the slickest Hair style and best of all a Rose for the lady.... Ooooh, forget the Anime ;D

hes just a sausage sandwhich. just has no concept of social conscience or how to behave in a communal situation. its got so bad that one of my housemates can't actually look at him because she doesnt really want to spend 5 minutes telling him what she thinks of him, and all my patience is running out....i wouldn't mind if he cared he was acting like an arse but he doesn't. doesn't help that i feel so depressed about work both academic and non.... and i now im single some of my worst fears about myself are just being confirmed.

thats a tough break- there absoloute cocks out there unfortunately who really cnt see anything but themselves- usually i'd just ignore them, but i can see it might be a problem when ure living with him! thats the only problem with halls, you got the risk of ending up with an absolute twat or some1 who is just plain and simply not nice- living with ppl that you generally get on with can even get a lil stressful sometimes! i was pretty last year in that respects- every1 in knew in my halls were pretty cool- lizzie lived a coule of floors down- you cnt get much cooler than that! but yeh i've heard a lot of stories were ppl end up living with absolute wankers, it usually ends up with the person in question being completely ostracised- not a pretty or comfortable situation but if it has to be done, well...yeh i know i was just shit all help, sorry. as for ure work-i cnt really comment as i have no idea whats up, but i certainly know i'm going thru a very stressful time in regards to work- i'm ridiculously behind and there's just so much- but you just gotta take the rough with the smooth!! as for the single thing, i know what you mean- it seems 2 be a theme 2nite, and somehow i'm not suprised- tis the season- xmas is coming up and its fireworks nite 2day- and no1 wants 2 be alone now- i usually feel a bit overly reflective on guy forks- suprisingly not so bad this year- dnt kno if thats a gud thing or not! i know i dnt really kno you at all- in fact i dnt think we've met, despite being in 2 of the same socs- but from talking 2 you online, you seem 2 be a really cool, honest person- and i dnt think you have nething to be scared about- we all have our darker sides, and self-doubt is the essence of the human condition, especially in today's day and age- and i know its pretty darn easy for me 2 come out and say this and i'm not going thru what you are- but you'll pull thru and thing'll be better. the lows make the highs.

I need Someone who enjoys watching a good movie in my arms, someone who wants to go on some random walks thru the park, someone i could take ice skating, someone i could take to the Leeds Utd Games, someone to play Bubble Bobble with and best of all someone i can trust and rely on... Wellll helllllloooo there Minus the Leeds United Games and ignore the fact that I am crap at Puzzle Bobble (I swear that's what it's called on the version we've got!) and you've got me ill be wearing a Suit and Tie next week with my best fragrances, the slickest Hair style and best of all a Rose for the lady.... Ooooh, forget the Anime ;D[/quote I would love to see this so much - all the non-forumites would be like "What in the devil is going on here?!" Animesoc goes debonaire! And you never know - you might have girls swooning at your feet! Anyway, onto rageousness. Despite the fact that I'm actually in a particularly and bizarre happy mood, hannah/sakura's housemate issue is forcing me to rage about mine! Oh my god. He is just....from another planet. He's not a dick or arrogant twat or anything, he's a nice guy. But he just has absolutely no idea about what is "appropriate" or "normal". And he is so damn starey - it really bothers me, I can't stand being stared at - I feel so uncomfortable and self-conscious! (That said, I'm a people watcher myself, but not in a creepy starey way.) It really pisses me off when he comes in the kitceh, hangs around watching me eat toast - leave me to eat in peace damnit! Anyway, examples of his weirdness. OK - start off with a not too bad one- 1) My flatmate had made me a birthday cake! Hurrah, tasty goodness, we all had some then put it in the fridge, still a fair bit left. Next morning, I had a piece, and another girl housemate had some - still 3+ pieces left, plus some chocolate brownies. About 10mins later I popped down to get a little bit and found the dirty plate standing empty on the side. Naturally I thought that someone had just wrapped it up and moved it, so I checked with girly housemate - nope, not her. So, I knock on odd housemate's door: Me: "Hiya, erm, I don't suppose you ate all the cake did you?" Him: "Yep". Me: ".....oh. Right". Not "Oh yes, I'm really sorry, was that ok? You don't mind do you?" or anything at all. (Well, I mean you don't eat the last bit in the first place do you!). He didn't even bother to wash up the plate! 2) So a couple of weeks ago my girly housemate notices that her hairbrush (which is in the bathroom) has got some midlengthish black hairs in. Only one person in the house has black hair. Disgusted but thinking it's a one off, she doesn't mention it. Fast forward to last week. I hear an enfuriated scream and her stomping up the stairs "That's it! I'm going to have to speak to him!" (Turns out the brush is covered in hair again). So I earwig at the top of the stairs as she goes to confront him: Her: "Erm, did you use my hairbrush?" Him: "Yep" (Me - "What the fuck - who does this?!")
Her: "Well, could you not please? I have a real thing about people using my hair brush" Him: Yeah, sorry, I was going to buy one of my own today. (Me - "Why has he not already got one if he needs it!")Her: " " Him: "But, you know, I did clean it out after I used it" Her: "Well, no. You didn't, because it's still covered in hairs" Him: "...Well you should have seen it before I cleaned it". Me/Her/Everyone WTF! He just has absolutely no idea. He makes jokes that are incredibly unfunny, watches very very bizarre obscure films and is just so ....gah! Yeah - so that's my rage!

hehe -sounds slightly less serious than hannah's problem, and slightly humerous- altho i'm sure its not for you!! i remember when you were looking for a housemate at the end of last year!! i bet you wish i had taken you up on the offer now! haha! actually come to think of it- you probly would have killed me by now!!! i'm certainly a master at the innapporopriate/unfunny jokes!! hehe- oh dear! the question is does he have a whisk??!

It would certainly have been ....an experience living with you And he doesn't have a whisk, but have aquired our own and delicious pancakes have been make! Yum. Hannah - has anyone actually said to him "Look, stop being such an arse. It's not funny and pretty much everyone hates you, so why don't you sort yourself out?"...or similar? Maybe he just doesn't realise he's being a twat?
