That's nothing. I need to deal with Chinese every day.

Chinese people or Chinese language?

...don't say food

[Robin de Bodemloze]

Both...and food

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Busy putting together the Quill - it's getting there.

As ever I'll look forward to reading it.

Both...and food

Some might argue dealing with Chinese food is a blessing...

(me... )

I had to sight translate and parse three pages of an Ancient Greek text for one of my finals.

HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS.

I have to synthesize organic compounds and determine the map distance between genes.

[Radzeer]

I have to deal with the Writers' Study...

... but that's ok.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

No one seemed sure how to respond to that...

C'mon guys what has happened here! You are all to tell me how your week has been and for those of you unlucky enough to have exams please share.

Ummm, I was meant to go up to my potential university for a campus tour tomorrow, but I ended up cancelling it (too much time and money for very little gain). I've just been studying really, preparing for my exams in June. It's my last week of college this week as well, which is the end of a very long four years. I also had my last Chinese lesson last week. My father's coming down to visit next week, which will be pleasant I'm sure. Handed in another review to taskmaster robin today and I'm trying to find some time in my schedule to update my own AAR. So, that's me How about yourself shank?

[Paragon]

I remember when I said that I wrote the last chapter of my AAR that I had managed to get to a point when things couldn't get worse

WELL, IT TURNS OUT THAT WAS A LIE

And I didn't know that, so I was lying to myself as much as I was lying to my readers, so I'm not sure if that counts as lying at all, since I didn't know it was lying.

So yeah. Really downhill right now, and it effects my writing. Not the quality of it, I can't know because I can't even write. I hit a brick wall if a few hundred words and I get desperate way to easily. Whatever. I'm going to try today but I'm not sure of anything.

Btw, Scottish King, what are you studying/working on? I'm a first year Biology student, so what you mentioned, uh, ten days ago got my attention. Studying is the one thing that seems to be getting better. On exams, I start in like three weeks and then they last like five, so nothing too big. For now.

[Robin de Bodemloze]

Hmm exams...last time I had an exam was about five years ago.

f0ma - you're doing Chinese studies? How goes that? What do you guys learn?

It's alright for some

I'm finishing my A Levels at the moment; just doing my A2 Philosophy of Religion course. I'm also retaking some 20th Century History exams I didn't do so well on last year. The Chinese I referred to was an evening leisure course I did, which was about 2.45 hours once a week for thirty or so weeks. We just learned a lot of the basics really, introductions, dates, times, family members, nationalities, money, shopping, etc etc etc. Pinyin and tones and all that fun stuff too. We didn't do much with characters. Although it's not part of the course, I'll be doing my HSK 1 next month as well. But with any luck I will be doing Chinese Studies at university come September

[Robin de Bodemloze]

You'll miss them when they're gone.

School life I mean, exams not so much. Good luck with A-Levels/your HSK exam!

I still have another four years of them left either way

Im studying biotechnology. Going into my 3rd year now. Studying is getting better for me too. It just the courses are pretty tough (for me anyway).

I managed to finish my advanced physics lab project—although I handed it over a tad late. No exams yet, but they're just around the corner The good thing is that majority of my exams are in a 5 day period. Although come to think of it, I'm not so sure if it's really a good thing. But at least they'll be over and done quickly—that being the end of the next week.
The funny thing is that me and some of my mates were doing a little mischief today playing hokm in the university campus (here they are very stern about playing cards in public , let alone in the university) and the security caught us. Can't wait to what they have in store for us we go to retrieve our student cards from the head of security this following Saturday.

Our very own Robin de Bodemloze has earned himself a shiny gold medal following his recent Tale of the Week victory. Go congratulate him!

So I've been told to start a depository for my work. I guess I'll get work on furnishing a thread tomorrow. I'm tempted to work on some little short story or *shiver* fanfiction for something, but I suppose I'll wait to see just how busy I am the first half of summer.

Sounds like a plan. And I'm sorry I've fallen behind with my reading, ill try and catch up with your AAR ASAP.

I'm fine thank-you, had a busy week which ended with a nice day off today. Next week isn't as busy so I should be able to work from home for some of the days.

There's no rush, you have plenty of time to catch up. I've having some serious issues with Steam at the moment, so after the next three updates, I'm going to be kind of stuck

Good to hear you're doing well Always good to get a well-deserved day off!

Yay!

I wonder who gave you such a brilliant idea... I certainly look forward to it, especially the short story! Short fiction can tell so much in so few words. There's really a power to it that the novel sometimes lacks. I encourage you to write a short piece.

Shush you. None must know.
