The essays are mind-gobbing, I swear. I'm erring towards 'What is the key characteristic of socialism?'. I'm just gonna talk about the main characteristics, the ones that are different and similar to other ideologies and whatnot. I dunno. :s-smilie:

Respect for life, liberty and happiness :teehee:

For Intro to Politics, I got 58, which is okay, I guess. To be honest, I wasn't expecting too good, especially after my seminar tutor said she wasn't too pleased with the marks of the class. For the IR one, I am expecting far worse, seriously. I've got to buckle down for the ones that are due soon after reading week. We have three due in before the 3rd December. :s-smilie:

Damn beat me by a mark :mad:

....

. My seminar teacher wasn't exactly complimentary about our work either, I think it's just part of the settling into University process. At A level I was used to banging out essays/coursework/exams at A/B standard as par for the course without a great deal of effort. For this essay, I got absolutely savaged, on things such as my grammar, rhetoric and sentence structure before he even mentioned my argument or the quality of it. I was kinda surprised to struggle so badly but it's really hammered home the nature of Uni to me.

If I can scrape a 2.1 in my IR essay then I'm happy and I can build off these two as a learning experience and actually knuckle down to improve.

It's true, and Arabs are tight. I showed my mum a few hours back and she's met him, said he was pretty rude. :dontknow:

Some of my family live in the Emirates and what you have to do is be nice to them and have at least one common interest and before you know it they'll give you a lot of stuff without even knowing. It won't work because you don't know him well and you're too old, but I told my cousin I liked golf (I'd never played it before) and he was taking me golfing every time he came to London. I've noticed they're very rude/dismissive on planes etc. but if you know them they're pretty friendly.

What's a good conversation starter for someone you've never met before in the library?
I see the same person, every day, at the same time :| (Granted, I don't think they see me).

OOOOH.

I was walking from QM to Mile End sttn 2 weeks ago, and this guy was like 'Excuse me I have a question' :curious:

"Do you think it's best to be really open when you're hitting on a girl, or do you think you should be subtle"

something like that anyway. I was like wut? Okay..

ANYWAY I gave him my FB, so it wasn't a total fail.

Try that? (Or, maybe not..)

That is possibly the biggest win in the world. But where does one get the confidence to actually say that haha, it's too good.

You're in the library aren't you?

And I wanna do a cover of the Over My Head by the Fray, can anyone sing? :eek3:

wanted to check up on how things are going at qmul law. Got an offer but opted for the unconditional at Newcastle instead, pretty tough decision . On a gap year at the minute, travelling next week to Stockholm for the Scandanavian trip. Anything else you want to know :p:

I actually saw RWJ a few minutes ago, he said hi to me. I'm quite surprised he actually remembered who I am :s-smilie:

Stockholm is pretty lame tbh. Went there last month. Go to a club called Debaser whilst you're there though, it's the best place I found, and don't bother with any d'n'b things with 'Fabriken'.

Edit: Oh, and which island are you staying on?
