Le Stu Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I wouldnae. Caught a scene of her in glee yesterday. she's old.38. If you think 38 is old, you're probably in danger of being hunted by these cougars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Improvement. Two slices, butter each, put wads of peanut butter on one and wads of nutella on the other, put together into a gooey mess. I call it a Snickers sandwich.i'm a big fan of a slice of toast with peanut butter coupled with a slice with nutella. why would you add butter as well though? that seems weird. my wife bought some bannoffee spread which she has on toast. i've not tried it yet but it looks like it has very good potential.

Moose Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 80s and 90s Aerosmith. If you're able to not take music too seriously, they've got to be one of the best. Some of their ideas are just batshit mental and their members faces make me laugh. Get a Grip is just something else. Its better than most bands greatest hits.

Paranoid Android Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Due to a cancelled class I had a long break at work earlier. Sucks that I lose a little money but I for once used the time really productively and did a whole load of preparation for classes coming up this week. Since I am often unproductive, slow and easily distracted when I do this at home I've given myself quite a bit of extra spare time and don't have to think about work in the mornings this week.Apart from damn marking, which I might have to do, that belongs in the hate thread though.

Totally agree with you on this. I hated it when I was tutoring.On an ace-ic note: this weather. Fucking brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Owl PhD Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Is it weird that I quite like marking? At least in small doses. Maybe it's a power thing. Loads of marking is bad news though. I remember having a hundred essays to mark once. I very nearly got sectioned at the end of doing those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I think the partially soul-destroying part was when I would comment on a first essay about something they shouldn't be doing; comma splicing or incorrect use of quotation marks or, more commonly, referencing. Then I would get their second essay and there it was again. Not just once or twice, but consistently. Tutoring first years just confirmed that I do not want to be a teacher/academic when I'm finished my PhD. I got good feedback though, I just didn't enjoy it.

Mr Owl PhD Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Teaching as a PG was pretty much what made me want to do an academic career. I'm not entirely sure why, but I think it's perhaps because I felt like a representative for my subject. And sometimes the students paid attention to the feedback. Not often but it's nice when it happens. I go a bit mental when they don't do easy stuff that I ask them to do. The worst is when I tell them to put the reference list in alphabetical order and they don't do it for their next essay. I usually refuse to give any feedback when that happens - they just get a bollocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeno Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Nutelle is ace, I have to stop myself from just eating the whole jar with a spoon whenever I spread my toast I love nutella. Ree's peanut butter cups are the best though, whenever I'm near the uni shop in the hub, I have to go in and buy a pack. Fatty...Aren't they expensive in the hub? I remember in the Hillhead shop they were 80p or something like that.In the Sainsbury's local in Rosemount 59p for the cups and 61p for nutrageous. At that price it's hard to walk past them. Need to actively avoid the sweet aisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Marking exams where it's multiple choice or I just have to look for one correct answer is ok and can be almost cathartic.Marking essays though is different. If something is really badly written I can spend ages trying to work out what the person was actually trying to say and then correcting it.

Would rather be at home, watching sitcoms, or tearing new arseholes on n00bs at FIFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanClews Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 In response to my "pet hate" rant about the students above me and their water damage to my kitchen ceiling - I get an email from the flat owner asking when would be best for her workmen to come in and repair my ceiling.My faith in humanity has been restored. I was quite content with fixing it myself (even though I know she should do it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sympathise with the student, for I suffer from the same afflcition The reason I'm so good at spotting them in essays is that I used to do it all the time as well. Strangely enough only one lecturer/tutor ever called me up on it. Most of the students were fine after I explained it to them and it helped when I pointed out the page in the Good Writing Guide (my constant companion) that explains it as well. If they bothered to get a copy which maybe a handful did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I just looked up the rules on comma-splices. Fuck.This is almost as bad as when I looked up double spacing after a full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 why are fugazi and the beatles always compared on here? did i miss something?There was a best band ever thread ages ago. A few people said The Beatles. A few people said Fugazi. It's been an infrequently recurring running joke since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 That 'Eureka!' moment when you're walking along the road mulling things over and suddenly happen upon the connection you've been looking for between two main strands of research. It almost makes reading about postmodernity in Scottish culture worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
