Likewise, I've gone 4 years without realising that these prizes even exist, only to discover yesterday that I'd won the Lawson Memorial Prize "for excellence in Literature in Honours English". I suppose it's as nice a way as any to find out about them!
Quoting angel_kohaku from 23:25, 3rd May 2006 Nobody writes songs about skinny chicks. Off the top of my head: King Adora, 'Big Isn't Beautiful' Every boy wants a body to die for and, Every girl who's thin is his rival, I wish I had a body to die for, Skinny is sexy, Big isn't beautiful. I'm gonna ...
Sorry if the thread title is something of a misnomer - I'm actually looking for help with my computer rather than expressing some itching desire for suicide. That said: I've had my laptop for about 2 years now and haven't had any problems with it in the past. Recently, however, if it's left on for m...
Since "the last little while" doesn't seem to be asking for anything too contemporary (I don't think there's been an official Nightmare on Elm Street film for at least a decade...not counting Freddy vs. Jason), I'll vote for Ringu, or just plain "Ring" as it's known over here. I tend to agree with M...
Quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen in days. One has to wonder though why the kid didn't get suspicious when his dad sat him in front of the computer and pulled out a camcorder...unless that's just business as usual at the Paederson residence.
Not to jump on the desperation bandwagon but...if anyone isn't planning on using one or both of their tickets for the Tuesday graduation, you'd be making my grandparents very happy people (and, coincidentally, you'd be making me a very relieved and grateful person who'd no longer have to find a way ...
The English Department include footnotes, quotations and, inexplicably, the bibliography but kindly exclude appendices. I'm now desperately trying to relegate 1000 words to the latter so that I actually have space for a conclusion.
Quoting harmless loony from 16:16, 31st Dec 2005 I have all this to look forward to in 2nd semester......joy! I still haven't decided if it's a blessing or a curse that I had to this first semester. On the one hand, it's at least over and done with by the 9th of January. On the other hand, it effec...
Having written less than half of my dissertation before we came off for Christmas, and managing to write virtually none of it over the holiday itelf, I came back to St Andrews on the 27th in a desperate attempt to get down the 6000+ words that hadn't yet made their way from my head onto figurative p...
1 burglary, the literal collapse of 2 rooms in the houses I've been living in, 3 deaths of loved ones and what felt like 40 un/natural disasters = a decidedly shit 2005.
Quoting Cain from 17:01, 29th Dec 2005 30 credits now are just as important as 30 credits next may. Moreover, it's easier to get a better mark in the 3rd year modules. Doing well now is ultimately in your own best interests since it'll take a lot of the pressure off come 4th year. Case in point: I ...
Quoting Duggeh from 15:29, 8th Nov 2005 In my experience the only effect lynx has is to make people gag and cough at the utterly disgusting and overpowering smell.
Or, in my case, the onset of an all-encompassing rash, the appeal of which is questionable at best.
Having only just read the book yesterday, you'll have to forgive me if all of this has already been circulating on the internet for about a month but nevertheless, my 2 cents. Firstly, not that I'm positing this as a viable theory but wouldn't a Horcrux be near-impossible to destroy were it containe...
