Who on earth is Aldous Huxley?!

*weeps silently at the lack of decent literature in Vange*

Hils, seriously, you should read Brave New World. It is a truly oustanding novel.

:D

I've only been living in Vange since I was 9, but even before that, I doubt there was much good literature around in the other 2 places I resided in!!

just had my 3rd exam today... out of 7. i flipping hate exams and i definitely am giving up on education after this... overqualification is a serious problem IMO and i don't think a doctorate is really necessary!

My geography teacher had never heard of it, so might have to search the English tonight.

Which means the chances are the person marking it won't have either...

It means Prymnesiophyceae in English and it lived in the oceans.

Ehux is a generally accepted abbreviation that you should be able to get away with (although if you do need to spell out the binomial nomenclature don't forget the species name should be all lower case - Emiliania huxleyi)...

I've had 2 exams this week so far, got a nice essay based exam tomorrow for 'Historical Perspective of Exercise and Health' as well as another essay based exam of 'Philosophy of Sport' on friday. Got my last one on tuesday, Biomechanics not my best subject so I'll be revising all weekend. Who said student life was easy??

 

[pickledseal]

I can't imagine doing an exam again. Best of luck to all of you that have them coming up, I do remember how stressful they can be!!

 

[Pubey]

i've got a lovely one tomorrow - 2 hrs of pharmaceutical economics and policy.

the england game might be more enjoyable than revision!

Then get a job..
