Went and failed an exam. Was disappointed as i really studied hard for that one. All is not lost, is it?

What percentage was it worth for the subject?

There's no way all is lost, don't be so melodramatic Seriously, it's a Christmas exam, and while it's not nice to have failed it, as long as you can see where you went wrong and work hard to make sure it doesn't happen again then you're grand.

40 is a very high number of people to have failed one exam btw. What subject was this?

>>>eek<<<

Thats massive. Was the paper that horrible?

Now Now Hils.. Correlation is not Causation!

europerson

Yes, the results in Econometrics were shocking. I too failed.

In any case, this developing hunk competition is becoming worrying. I say we get stargal and Awayindahils to judge them.

Cool. The winner will be chosen based on posting history, personality and how he looks naked.

I was thinking along those lines too. Perhaps, for Hilary's benefit, you could introduce a tactile test, a more hands-on sort of squeezing thing...?

europerson

I've just been chatting to Hilary in the BLU Interface Area, and she's very excited about this competition. She did, however, express some concern about the involved parties' own relationships, given that, as she said, her primary role would be to "feel them up".

Just burst out laughing in the middle of the 4th floor of the Ussher.

europerson

If you're near Enda, ask him about the time I burst out laughing for c.30 minutes in the Ussher.

Getting back to this hands-on tackle test, I could say something rude, but I think I'll spare you...

In fairness it's not like there's much to spare at this stage.

Look up, but Mattie keeps telling me to post again so I need to post something.

As for the lollipop, Aristotle, because women are inferior to men and as such under their power or some such.

It'd be fun if we all described ourselves so we can spend the next month trying to figure out who the other people are as we're walking around the college. As detailed as possible descriptions, please. That means no fair saying you have medium length brown hair and blue eyes and are about 5'5'' if you're a girl.... we want to see your quirky bits!

Not THOSE quirky bits. Get your mind out of the gutter.
