University of Glasgow blether thread

Well I'm sorry that you think I'm doing the wrong thing but it's much better than me taking the book out/home for more than the four/24 hour limit.

Sorry you couldn't find the book you were looking for. I don't really see how you could have been in agony looking for it!

But you can just take two books, go to the cafe or to one of the other floors and come back downstairs for more when you've finished with them, it's not like the library's that massive. I've spent three days in agony hunting down for Critical Perspectives on Harry Potter because despite the fact that the website said it was on the shelf, every time I looked for it, it wasn't there. In the end I turned to the books from the main section for both my essays and found some really interesting things tucked away in corners were most people couldn't be bothered to look.

YAY! thank you thank you thank you!!
Also, were you in yesterday? I didn't see you

As far as I know it, no. You sign up for the register and when they find somebody who's a match, they call you in to donate. But the procedure is virtually painless and you get back into your normal routine in about 2 or 3 days at most. On the other hand it's a really small price to pay to save somebody's life.

I want to try to register (I dunno if I'll be able since I've had all kinds of health issues recently and I'm only in Britain during the term) and I definitely want to help out so I'm going to training session thing.

Yeah I was, if you didn't notice then it must have meant my early exit was sly, good

Ooh you daredevil you

I just don't get why you do what you do.

I needed it for my Comp Lit essay which was due in four or five days. The vast majority of articles about Harry Potter in academic journals are just elaborate rants on subjects that have nothing to do with the series so I really needed to find something that would at least loosely tie in with what my essay was about to put in my bibliography.

more like lazy, didn't want to have to rush to boyd orr i need to man up

I don't think the timetable's actually up, but I know when my history one is, they announced it in today's lecture but I missed philosophy so I don't know if it's been announced.

I feel your pain re:Critical Perspectives Harry Potter's just not suitable for academic study imo

Exam timetable is up

I take it you're doing comparative lit 1A? I think having a 'lesser' book isn't a bad idea. They throw one in every year I think. It'll teach you that you can dissect any given book the same way, and also at times that you can find something in a book that really isn't there. For level 2 they study 'Like Water for Chocolate' a Mexican Hollyoaks style book, which is on par with Harry Potter for the shock factor but I still think it's a good idea, plus it's easier to read.

On the exam timetable the links for 2/3 three of my subjects dont work!
