I thought you might say that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

We get a designated 9 weeks to do lab work in the 2nd semester and then write it up to hand in in May (I think). Not sure what it's like for literature projects (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Hmm. Our lot are expected to do 3 months of fieldwork between the end on the 2nd year exams and the start of the 3rd year, and this needs to be organised well in advance (especially as quite a few of the students do their fieldwork overseas). Dissertations are submitted in early March in the 3rd year - so they have just over a year to do them (which is why the students who start their dissertations with a week to go get absolutely no sympathy from staff...).

I thought I'd make my 15,000th post really, really interesting.

Well I should be choosing my third year modules, thinking about what to do for my dissertation, packing, doing an online shop so when I go back to university I'll have some food, writing a list of what i want to buy so I don't just splurge on nice food........

Have you not already started your dissertation, Nicki? Our lot start theirs in the 2nd year social research module and so they've already had to hand in their project proposals and literature reviews last term?

No, I have to definitely know by May 15th and start research in the summer. Deadline for History dissertations is before Easter in third year.

Exposure to Disney's Snow White as a child. Gnomes are so like the dwarves in that that they somehow conjure up those childhood feelings of being loved and secure in the best of all possible worlds.

That's my theory, anyway!

Some sort of fetish for the grotesque, perhaps? I'm sure there must be some sort of 'complex' involving very small men with big noses, silly hats and either Wellington boots or fishing lines. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I bought a tube of smarties and they are all blue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Perhaps that's why the tube itself is blue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

*note to self - don't buy tubes of smarties if the tube is blue, because you know that you like the orange ones best and don't really like the blue ones. Oh, and maybe Poundland wasn't the best place to buy smarties...you should have known they were in there for a reason...*

I moved into my flat 3 years ago, for the first two years at 1800 every day, "When the Saints go marching in" has been played *edit* by someone down the street-on a xylophone. Two weeks ago it changed! Now Scott Joplin "The Entertainer"

Isn't it funny how bread rolls are rolls of bread, yet the same logic does not apply to toilet or kitchen rolls... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I was walking in the wood today with my six dogs. One of my dogs is a black labrador.

I met a couple with two black labradors and all the dogs mingled and chatted happily among themselves.

I bent down and made a big fuss of one of their black labradors, very nice friendly happy dog, and couldn't work out why these people were giving me such a strange look as they walked away.

I was petting my own dog! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)







I was asking it's name and everything - they must have thought I was a complete lunatic! Or blind as a bat.
(I'm overstudying.. my brain is fried.)
