Well, the kids that I go to Uni with do it like the above because they are all thrilled just to pass and aren't thinking any further into their future than their raging hormones will allow. Due to the public holiday last week I have my last exam on the coming Monday...even though I have a massive "post-exam" party planned this Saturday. Oops.

How many exams did you have?
I'm studying through open university Australia while I'm over here and they split the year into 4 blocks instead of two.
so you do two subjects for 3 months then do the two exams and forget about them and start the next two subjects.

Only 4. Well, I say 'only' but it was kinda hard for me. The material wasn't too bad (except for the Mathematics For Computing - which can go **** itself) but I probably put a bit too much pressure on myself which didn't help. Still, I think I'll come out of the semester with respectable marks (except for the maths, maybe only a credit there). I like the idea of only two sets of exam at a time, like you have, but I dunno how I feel about either bigger assignments or assignments right on top of each other.

Yeah I think with correspondence courses they make the assignments a bit more of the overall mark
and I always seem to have two due the same week.
Which means one gets done well and the other just gets done.
Now you just have to wait 6 weeks till they get round to marking and posting the results.

Real men didn't need the relative safety of distance that an aircraft deployed ordnance provides.
Oh no.
They blasted nukes straight out of a cannon.
I see many a 'con' to this 'delivery system'..

9l isn't much of a party is it! Lol.
Well I'm in tge dandenongs for 1.5hrs whilst my kid is at a birthday party here. So I've set myself up in tge car (too bloody cold out there ATM) with 4 issues of BYO and zymurgy and a few issues o mens health mag to balance things out. Thermos of coffee, some homemade jerky and couple salami sandwiches. I'm a happy man. Only downside is I forgot a bottle of porter I was going to bring up and sip on.
Oh well some me time and catching up on beer news is a good bloody Sunday morning.
I got a free year's subscription to Men's Health Magazine when I signed up for a funeral plan last year. I haven't read any of them but I take them into work and leave them in the lunch room and the gay guys drool.
Edit: I go more for family magazines like this one:

Just bought 5 kegs this morning, for $229... (4 keg special and a fifth for $1 at Ross') with the view of selling off 2 or 3 for about $50 a piece, as i only really need 2. I get the feeling though, that as soon as i see them i'll be wanting to keep them all. :unsure: If i were to keep them all i'd have 11 in total... which feels about right with a four tap fridge.

So someone from Optus just called offering me a "free promotional survey". Uh, Okay. Anyway, the dude says that if I change to Optus I can get free local, national and mobile calls for $90 per month. So I ask in what way is it free - I'd be paying $90? He deftly sidesteps my bad attitude by telling me that I would be pleased to learn that I would also be getting internet for free. I tell him that I am not interested in changing to Optus for my internet service and he says that he's not asking me to change internet provider at all, so I ask him how will Optus give me free internet that is provided by another company. His reply? He hangs up. These guys just aren't as persistent as they used to be.

Had a cube split on me this morning. Not even on a seam. It's like it had gone brittle and just cracked. WTF? It's done less than 20 brews. Glad it was in the bath and only had napisan in it. The white square type you get at Ray's, etc. Dunno what to replace it with. Read too many complaints about the blue Willow ones lately and I did like this type except for the random rupturing thing. Anyway, better go grab something so I can get the plastic taste out of it before I brew on thursday.

*chortle*
Cheers, I'll grab one locally today and look into grabbing some more from there later - why wouldn't I need more cubes?
