We will sleep through all the lectures, and cheat on the exams

Low Self Esteem
(aka "I'm not worthy" syndrome)

The Student Counselling Service recommends that all Padawans repeat the following to themselves several times each morning. "I am an intelligent, confident, highly trained commando-diplomat with a buff, honed body and incredible mind control powers, who has been specially chosen for intensive one to one training by an experienced and powerful warrior. There is NO REASON for me to have an inferiority complex."
-- from A Padawan's Guide to Health, Fitness and Living with Your Master.

I am not having a relapse. *cough* Carry on, carry on.

In other news, I'm compiling a list of things I've learned from University so far. Starting with the fact that no matter how tempting, one really shouldn't teach one's hall mates Latin sex words. Unless one a) feels the need to spend an entire night yelling "Fellatio! With an O, not an A!" or b) wants to be greeted the morning after with a hearty cry of "Sodomy!". At least I'm not the one who thought glue might be an appropriate lubricant.

University: it's a non-stop learning experience. But last night was a lot of fun, even if AfterShock is the foulest thing ever to be invented. It was well-worth downing just for the odd conversation I had with Sofie about Oscar Wilde and Stephen Fry.

The social scene is good for now; however, the workshop I attended this morning has me reconsidering the Foreign Legion as a potential career choice. This whole you-will-make-tonnes-of-mistakes-probably-almost-flunk-out-and-generally-suck-because-you're-lazy-bastards song that everyone seems to be singing is starting to worry the hell out of me.

But never mind! I shall perserve in my pursuit of learning! In fact, I shall do so now, as I return to Heart of Darkness.

As soon as I finish this fic.

(Can I just point out how much I miss my dvds? And my books? I really, really want to re-read remains of the Day right now.)

Oh, honey. They tell everyone that. Don't worry.

And I can't for the life of me imagine why teaching them some culture isn't a good idea. *innocent cough*

Yes, they tell everyone that, and then they just drop us into it. Without further warning! I have three essays due in less than a month, and not a clue how to proceed with them. I'm not sure I'm made out for this kind of thing.

See, that's what I thought. Right up until I became known as 'sex-words-girl'.

Of course you are! And there's nothing keeping you from asking other people for advice. Pick someone smart and ask them how to get started. You can do it! *hugs*

Heee. "Sex-words-girl".

any way here are the game rules for israel vs. palestine in football:
The Football Rules of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict:

RULE 1: Israel has the right to play on both sides of the field, but the Palestinians can only play in their own half.

RULE 2: During the match, Israel has the right to build a wall anywhere across the field to enforce the above rule.

RULE 3: Should the referee ever whistle a foul against Israel he shall promptly be denounced as an anti-Semite.

RULE 4: The Palestinians are encouraged to shoot into their own goal. Players who refuse will be nominated as terrorists and will not be allowed to play.

RULE 5: For security reasons, Palestinians do not have the right to pass the ball to each other.

RULE 6: Israel can occupy any empty space on the field by bringing in a new player.

RULE 7: All Israeli goals are valid. Even those scored during the half-time break.

RULE 8: The Palestinians will only receive their sponsorship money if they agree to let Israel win.

RULE 9: The Palestinians can only play in flip-flops.

RULE 10: There will be no goal post on the Israeli side.

I'd forgotten that! Damn. I need to stop doing that. Not everyone needs to know that I'm a perv the *minute* they meet me.

I remember those conversations fondly. In fact, any conversation I can remember having with you, I remember fondly. (There are a few drunken conversation which aren't that clear in my mind, but uhm. Let's not discuss that, shall we?)

Also? That is *brilliant*.
