Yay for distinction! YAY for notded! I was wondering, but not frightened yet.

Woot, that's freaking awesome. I haven't gotten any of my marks back yet *pouts*

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I've only got that one because I actually bothered to give a selfaddressed stamped envelope. Such a hassle. I would've for the others but I ran out of A4 envelopes :P

[faerie-mistress.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. My RC tutor specifially requested we not give him envelopes because, and I quote, he 'can't be fucked posting stuff' *LOL*

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

ROFL! My tutor was very earnest.

[faerie-mistress.livejournal.com]

My tutor was a little loopy. He's a recent post-grad and on the first day of semester he just walked into the room with all of us and sat down next to someone and pretended to be a student for like 20 minutes until everyone started getting fidgety because the tutor hadn't shown up yet. And on the last day of semester of course he took us all over to the Clare for our 'tute' *L*

Haha, that's pretty cool. Ours tended to get carried away in discussions and then go "oops, not enough time for the last presentation, how do you feel about next week?"

Also I am pretty sure he got the joke when I listed "for the lulz" under reasons to lie to an ehtnographer in my powerpoint XD

[faerie-mistress.livejournal.com]

Yup, we had that problem most weeks too.

Heh nice. I presented week 4 and part of it was analysing a family photo. I used the Dugger Family (http://www.duggarfamily.com/).

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Dear god, what?

[faerie-mistress.livejournal.com]

That was pretty much everyone else's reaction too. I was like 'What, have you people never been on the internet?' Mwahahaha

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Lol!

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Oh oh CIE is online!!! I totally passed oh my god! That's ridiculous.

[faerie-mistress.livejournal.com]

Yeah I just checked mine too, woo pass!

I got a credit for my 'imaginative approach to the development of the argument' and for correct referencing, but everything else in my effort was merely mediocre *L* I knew it was a pile of wank but oh well, it's not made of fail!

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Hahaha dude my essay was about 3/4 of the wordcount and not all that coherent. I was totally just hoping to get a high enough fail that I pass the subject! But whee, this gives me hope for Power and Change, which is my other under-count shitty shitty effort. *phew*

[faerie-mistress.livejournal.com]

Heh ditto, I think I got to 100- 150 words over the minimum limit and just stopped. It was just an incoherant rambling mess... I think the best part was the endeding :D I did the PE of Music and I think my summation was something along the lines of "Recording companies should have started iTunes etc 10 years earlier instead of just suing Napster and other p2p's. They had the gun and now they're blaming us becuase they shot themselves in the foot'

...how the fuck did I pass????

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Ha, same, I seriously did this in two days before the due date, and most of those two days was spent staring at the computer screen in horror. Copyright: I based most of my argument on Thomas Macaulay (http://www.baen.com/library/palaver4.htm") and then just added bits and pieces in a feeble attempt to work in as many sources as I could and mention the town meeting as much as possible.

[faerie-mistress.livejournal.com]

Yup, I had something else due on the Monday so I did that over the weekend, and wrote CIE on the Tues/ Wed. I didn't have a tute on the Wed as my tutor was away so that helped, although I did have to have it finished and sent in by 6ish because Wednesday night is pub trivia... go priorities *facepalm*

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Yeah I think everyone's schedule was like that - friday, monday, tuesday, wednesday. CIE was last, I was alll out of juice.
