Yeah, that's usually never good.

But doing it and passing the test anyway is officially awesome.

Larks: Any time is earlier than undefined.

Duke87: I hope so, some parts of it gave me trouble but I think I did OK overall. Hopefully I did better than last time. I wouldn't like another 55% (pass by 5 marks). I actually failed the calculus section of that one - a distinction in Linear Algebra saved me, though.

It was a similar sleeping pattern with physics, but I have rather a lot more confidence there. Considering I currently have an 87.12% average in Physics - a High Distinction - I don't think I'm likely to fail it. I also knew what I was doing, more or less.

50 is passing, huh? That's rather on the low side. Around here it's usually 60 or sometimes 70.

[Vahr 341]

6217

Its 60 here. 59-0 = F

[Korot 6]

6218. Here, scores are between 1 and 10, thus you need at least a 5,5 to pass.

You guys in Europe also have the use commas and decimal points switched.

1,000 → 1.000 (one thousand)

5.5 → 5,5 (five and five tenths)

The latter is really weird because around here we'd pronounce that "five point five" - which makes no sense with a comma there!

I dont understand their number separators either.

[Muck308 55]

Not to mention the backwards date thing. Although in the case of my birthday... it doesn't matter. 6/6

[Duke87 1,070]

Really, if you think about it, the way the rest of the world does dates (dd/mm) is more logical, as it keeps the units lined up in order.

Although, most logical would be yyyy/mm/dd, largest to smallest. Because we read left to right, and this way alphabetical order = chronological order. For that, reason, actually, dates in filenames are often in this format. It's generally never used outside of such bookkeeping, though.

6223

dd.mm.yy(yy) is what I generally use (with . as a separator). If I was using mm/dd/yy(yy) I use /.

[Muck308 55]

6224

Hmm, yes. It is more logical the way the rest of the world does it.

Braves win again! now if only the mets could start losing we would run away with the divison!

Only one exam left this semester, and, as it is for an optional component of the course, it won't lower my grade. However, I think it does raise it if I do better than my average...

Gotta post something other than the number...

^what he said.

Just found out what time my flight home leaves - 8.55am the day after my last exam. I have to get there at least 30 minutes before departure, but just to make sure I'll probably get a taxi to get me there around 7.30 to 8am. All this means I'll have to go to bed earlier than usual on Monday.

[Larks2242 251]

6231.

Shouldn't be a problem for you.

[Korot 6]

6232. I think it will be, since the last couple of nights he went to bed way past midnight.

[Skimbo 304]

6233 Dam, I hate it to sit in a train for five hours.

[Muck308 55]

6234

Try sitting in a plane for 14 hours. Madness.

[Larks2242 251]

Where are you going Japan?

[Ocram's Razr 964]

6236

Japan is a very nice place. I wish I could speak fluent Japanese and to be able to visit Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, and any resort town.

[Duke87 1,070]

(6237)

I go out all day and all you guys can manage is eight posts in the meantime?

[astronelson 339]

6238.

Posting does seem to have slowed a bit.

[Larks2242 251]

6239.

Yea it has.

[Vahr 341]

6240

Well all we can do is keep chugging along.

PFB WARNING

[Korot 6]

Thanks for the warning, BL!

About the recent slow down: I'm unable to post as much, since I'm kinda being killed by homework. I got two tests planned for Tuesday, both of which you should start learning for about a week in advance, and I have yet to start...

(And yet here I am, wasting my precious learning time making posts in the forum games...)
