Got my year results back today, the bastards have capped me at 40% for 2 of the 3 bits of work I handed in late after America. Another 2 bits were capped but that?s fair enough, I handed them in late because im rubbish.



End result is I only got 56% when you need 60% to get onto the final year.



Spoke to the head of year for the final year and im top of the reserves list but I wont find out for definite for another 2 weeks if im on or not.



Whats really gutting is that all of my work that wasn?t capped was well over 60% - my lowest mark was 64%.



What. A. twat.



Im gonna appeal for the last 2 bits anyway, I told them I was doing ?work experience? in America so had extenuating circumstances. Have to see what happens



:(

Shit dude, that sucks. Best of luck with the appeal. School sucks, innit?

Aww, dammit mipps! I'm so sorry!



I'll keep my fingers crossed for your appeal!

School is overrated.



Go and get a 6 week microsoft computer certification, then be a fuck-off tech support guy.

I'd love to do that stash, I really would. Seriously, it's the avenue I'm looking to get into career wise. Only problem is, it's so expensive! The exam fees and course fees take the piss - how are people supposed to be able to afford it? Most courses are aimed with sponsorship in mind, but there isn't a lot of those out there.



Doesn't matter though, I may only be 22, but I already know that work sucks, period. :x

Over here it's only like $3,000 for a complete MCSE course. That's still a chunk of change, but nothing compared to even Junior College.

Ahh, but over here university students get a 'student loan' to cover living expenses etc, and it's paid back once you earn over �15,000, and takes years to pay back. Can't get one for IT quals though :x

I managed to get through my first 4 years university paying cash because my job pays pretty well. Last year was the first that I had to take out a line of credit, mostly because of partying too much instead of saving, and then which I mostly spent going to London for NYE. :D

that's utter bullshit... you can't go to school for something that will get you a good job right out of the gate, but you can get paid to take Renaissance Navel Gazing 101.

Sort of, yeah. Most degree courses will lead to a good job, except some of the weird ones like Dance or something like that. But you can get a student loan for it, which does suck.

Yeah there is so many bullshit degrees these days that are meaningless. I think alot of people do degrees these days to avoid working and for an easy lifestyle for 3 years.

All right then, thanks for the welcome backs

I really hope that the chems play a US dj date at some points for the likes of you whirly. Its easy for me all the time, never have to travel that far, lucky I guess.

I'm sure hope they'll come back to do some dj sets in the States at some point. I think it would be a good opportunity not just for me but for people like chemicalreaction and Bosco who would probably give their left nuts just to see them perform. I got to see them dj 2 times and didn't have to travel far, even for the live sets and I know I'm lucky. The last time I saw the Chems dj I had so much going on personally and getting to go was a last minute thing... it was the best remedy. I am so thankful for that time and can't wait to experience it again!
