Southampton Uni chat thread

I HAVE BEEN UP FOR OVER AN HOUR.

This is ridiculous, I didn't even think this was a real time. I thought it was a myth.

If I die today, I love you all. I'm scared. My lack of fitness is going to come back in karma form and make sure I die, and lose £250 whilst doing it.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

(sure, I may be melodramatic, but at least I lived my short life to the full (that's what they'll say at my funeral, which you all have to attend, naked. No black suits, or bright colours, I will allow swimwear at most, in irony))

1. Providing examples, explain what Hobsbawn and Ranger mean by “The Invention of
Tradition”? Very few students chose this question. Good answers related the invention of
tradition to the emergence of modern society, discussed key literature and provided
evidence. While commercial aspects were discussed, few answers addressed to what
extent traditions are invoked to legitimize power or social arrangements

1. What does Anthony Giddens mean when he says that ‘The idea of tradition, then, is itself
a creation of modernity.’? About a sixth of the students chose this question. Good answers
related the invention of tradition to the emergence of modern society, discussed key
literature and provided evidence. While commercial aspects were discussed, few answers
addressed to what extent traditions are invoked to legitimize power or social arrangements.

Haha, that's brilliant.

ohhh you do maths? do you know a guy with a really odd beard and really long blonde hair, hes my flat mate.

I know of him, not spoken to him personally though

Ah ok, his names George. He has odd music tastes but hes a really nice guy, and gets ridiculusly good marks. Last semester i think only 1 of his exams was under 90 or something crazy like that. and all his exams were firsts.
