"How to Scare the Fourth Years"
This was the notice up about registration for my special subject module (this year long fandango that I have to go through).
"Registration will be at 9:45 PROMPT in Room 1.17. Attendance is obligatory. Death Certificates Accepted."
Below it was the next, for another course: "All latecomers and non-attendees will be subject to terrible humiliation and punishment."
Yikes

Maybe that says something about the attitudes to attendance of the previous fourth years.

well, we all know all our classes are compulsory, and it's only two hours a week...
I think they're just bored of term already...
or it's a competition - stick two professors in offices next to each other and it's handbags on the noticeboard.

I don't think I;d have the discipline to be an arts student. So much unscheduled time.

Ah, yes. How I would love "reading" to be counted as work. I read loads of things, all the time. (at uni now, waiting for the babies to arrive on sat)

well, unfortunately reading China Mieville or Margaret Atwood doesn't get me credits either...
just tempts me to footnote them for really good examples in essays.
