Warning - The word "Tits" is used in this post

But only in the title, so you're safely past it now.

Sorry for not posting but I've been soooo busy (actually I did write a big post last week but it never 'published', neither did my various comments on AH, PB or PKs blogs).

Anyway, as you know, I'm doing more OU this year (Science). I thought Science, that sounds interesting. Volcanoes, Earthquakes, the Big Bang, Origins of Life, how can that be anything other than scintillating? I guess I was sort of picturing: "This is skippy the Dolphin, he's a mammal, not a fish. See Skippy swim. Fish have gills. Please colour in the pictures of Skippy and his friends in your favourite colours"

What I didn't expect was:"The Division of Quantum Electrodynamics and the Weak Interaction during the Hadron Era. Summarize in 3400-3600 words."

So there are 8 marked assignments. And you have to score an average of 40% to get a bare pass. So I scored 80, 84 & 84 in the first 3 assignments. I get Excel out and figure I just need two more scores of 36 to pass. Which means I can safely skip the middle three assignments and just do so-so on the last two.

Then I find out (recently) that you have to score a 40% average on the first four and a 40% average on last four. Which puts a different complexion on things. So now, the last two need 80% scores, not 36%. And, of course, these two rely heavily on stuff from things learnt during the middle phase.

Fook!

So, I've been working all hours at my PC for the past few weeks with my porn download to study ratio down to an all time low of 5:1. Go on, ask me a question about Quarks or Leptons (or Sylvia Saint).

I now know I got 72% on penultimate assignment; the last one has been sent off on Monday (thankyou Mr King). So that final one better be a stormer. So now I can relax (well, I have to finish off my overall project but that's not too hard).

And now my work are very interested in me becoming Microsoft Certified (we get a big shiny Microsoft Placque if they've got 3 inhouse MCSDs or something). Wahay, more work.

Life is a big lump of potatoes chopped up and put in very hot animal extract before having fermented curd and brown water draped on top.

Chips, cheese and Gravy - ooh yes please.
