It varies depending on the level of activity in the forum! I think this one's been comparatively slow. These are the dates that all the previous threads were started:
I - 03/07/04 II - 24/06/06 III - 02/03/08 IV - 10/11/08 V - 18/02/09 VI - 27/06/09 VII - 12/01/10 VIII - 23/10/10
I've put the meme in the OP now for anyone else who didn't get it
That is very annoying, however, will it realistically affect outcomes?
"outcomes" in the sense of people improving their marks or in the sense of it really mattering in the grand scheme of things?
I think in a maths/physics type exam (presumably also in a medicine MCQ?) a 5 minute chat with your neighbour could certainly affect your final mark. Whether it's really the end of the world if the guy next to me cheats his way from a 63 to a 65 I can't say, it's more the principle of it.
I've been making pencil notes in a library book today and it decided to karmically retribute me by giving me a massive scratch on my elbow with its pointy cover corner.

I posted about twice in the previous thread despite reading relatively religiously - I will make it a resolution to post more in this one. So there. Or something. I'm debating going to the Krugman myself but none of the other Catzpeople seem to be bothered... That said though, there are only so many times you get to hear someone that awesome speak.
Right, back to the macro and the cookies... *gallops towards the exam stress thread*

Hello flourishing person Post more, yes! Especially if you already read it
Also, my goodness I have a lot of stuff in Russia. I found a formal mint in my handbag, not having been to formal since last June, and just found my offer letter. From January 2008. Why on earth would i have brought that with me?
I've just had an email from our Senior Tutor saying that the latest late-night attack was in Botolph Lane, which is uncomfortably close to home. I feel slightly sick...

Thought I'd quote you since you're pretty much a neighbour - I know that colleges don't always inform their students as soon as they receive information.

Oh god, thanks, I'll let my friends know. One of them was pretty worried about getting back from the Engineering faculty late last night, she left her lights at home so it was either walk or cycle without lights. I can see why if there are all these attacky things going on

Also, getting rather frustrated with my studies here at the moment, had a huge "This would be so much better if I were back in Cambridge" moment last night. Think it might have been a mistake to choose (essentially meaninless) exams here over May week...
In short, what this uni fails at: - intellectually-stimulating teaching (I only really learn reading for myself, seminars are useless) - a genuine sense of community (there's way too many students, I spend most of my time trying to battle through crowds) - personal student-professor interaction (I'm not sure how many of my professors know who I am)
This is incredibly demoralising when I'm spending my evenings reading for overpacked seminars, knowing that I'm going to go there, get very little from it and hardly talk to anyone (students and professor alike).
