Oh dear oh dear. The exam period. It's all well and good testing us about what we were supposed to learn over the past 12 weeks. You know, we are meant to get some kind of qualification whilst we're here at Uni, after all.

But, the thing that worrys me is that our lecturers and the staff at (at least Southampton) the Uni don't understand what we do. As far as I'm concerned, we're here at Uni to drink extensively and to do silly things.

In fact, the thing I was examined on today was partly about team work and the stages of social and political states that a team goes through in the professional computer sciences development proccess. And the first stage is getting to know people and learning about each other. The second stage is mostly about forming social groups and creating a social hierarchy and the best people getting those well-sought-after ledaership roles.

[Unfortunately I just lost 3 minutes of my life trying to work out the un-undo key combination in myIE2, my web browser, since I accidentally removed all of what I had typed so far, and in doing so I lost my train of thought]

What I think I was basically trying to say was that lecturers don't understand that University life is about socialising, meeting new people and having lots of kisses and the occasional sex.

What they don't get is that Education is just an excuse for us to have the whole idea of Uni. I think its down right unfair for them to give us exams, particularly in late January. For Christs sake, we've just got over our New Years hangovers. Its time to drink again!!

So, I give a request to all Universitys throughout this world... On behalf of every student ever to grace your establishments... EXAMS ARE SHIT.

However, its probably time (considering its nearly midnight) to have a practise on my new drum kit! Here's to the looming end of the exam period and the punishment of the liver that will shortly follow!
