and i'm lazy, prone to binge drinking and very bad at time management

that said, i studied english, so didnt have many things to go to anyway

but usually because we don't get much. We've had about 12 hours of lectures total in the first two terms and don't get any in the third, plus despite being on a critical theory course we only get three essays in a year totalling 6000 words.

£3000 a year.

Great.

EVER.

One week I really tried but fucked it on the friday. AND NOW LOOK AT ME!

much 50% up until Xmas in my only year, and then 0% thereafter. A combination of an all day bar where my halls were, cheap snakebite and playstation goodness weren't the best ingredients for gaining a degree. The letter that summer 'releasing me' from my degree came as little surprise.

cos i havent gone
so im scared to go

been to every lecture this term. How much of a geek am I?

i've missed the vast majority of lectures, i do hardly any work. I've managed to get by in the past, if i get a decent degree then the system has failed.

some of them are interesting. i go to these when i have time. i haven't had time for about 3 weeks. i've missed 2 seminars out of 14 this term. not missed any supervisions. written 12 essays, done 2 presentations, and currently trying to do my bloody dissertation. there is a direct link between this and me arguing so much on DiS

that came out like bragging about all the work i do at uni. well, it was. but also to stress that lectures aren't necessarily. where it's at.

And I never missed lab, which was one day a week for the first two years and two days a week for the second two.

but I think it's a bit different if you're doing a science subject where lectures are much more useful than in something like English where you can get by fine by just doing the reading.

Mostly due to the fact that a couple of lectures are at 9am(i like sleeping), also I have to catch a uni bus to the main campus, often they don't run regularly and of course monster hangovers have lessened my attendance. I'm doing fine though.

record at university was awful. for some courses, i didn't attend a single tutorial. and i got a first and won some pathetic academic prize for being a hero.

sadly, my non-attendance had nothing to do with the hedonistic lifestyle that i did not lead when i was at university.

Because I could get away with it. I got a 2.1 but I regret not actually STUDYING more, because I'd love to have that opportunity again.

and *try* to get to lectures but it doesn't always work. I've already missed 3 hrs this week and i only have 11 in total. I'm not that bad though. Although, i've only attended 2 of the lectures for one of my modules this term, and i don' t plan to go again. It's far too early in the morning, boring and they don't take a register, so i can get away with it.

I plan to sort my life out a little bit over easter. going to bed before 4am and waking up before 2pm on a regular basis would be a good start.

at my first uni i never intentionally skipped classes, and only boozed at the end of the day [not counting lunch with bonuses at the pub across the road - too expensive to lounge about all day in there though]. but i'm rubbish at getting up, and i never wanted to be that person who walks into a lecture 45 mins late to an appalled silence, tripping over bags and knocking books off desks in a sad attempt to findaseatandbecomeinconspicuousQUICK. if I was going to be more than 10 mins late, i didn't go in.

and when i went to art skool, they were really strict on missing lessons - if you missed two in a row or within a certain period of time, there were Consequences. plus i kinda liked my lessons. so i hardly ever missed anything there, and my social life was totally separate to uni, so there was no staying in the pub with other students all day.

I then managed to trip over someone's foot, accompanied by a loud "Oh bugger".

I broke my 2 pencils.

My friend called me, and after me searching for my phone and cancelling the call, sent me a message asking "did you make your lecture?".

Awesome.

I think my problem is that I love my bed too much. When I wake up, nothing is more important than an extra 10 minutes of duvet time.
