Our cats must have common ancestors.

Or they are both 'special' cats. Happens a lot with cats born to stray mothers.

Mine has cerebral hypoplasia. Look up 'wobbly cats'. Not a bad case, but she still misjudges jumps regularly, and falls off the back of the couch.

"how old is he? Pickles?"

"um, i think he's about 6 or 7."

"Saul...we moved into this house 11 years ago and he was here!!"

what time is it?



cramming time.

@Kip. That happens all the time. People forget how many years have passed. It's known as 'time flies'. What subject are you cramming?


@Theta - what? Your pictures aren't showing?

i know. it hurts, i still feel 14. can't even drive...

i wasn't cramming (yay!! !), sister was, for english, i tell you it should be illegal to do this so early in the year!

I used to wait until a day or two before the exam, and then pull an allnighter.

It used to drive my classmates crazy, because they'd be studying for weeks and weeks, and I'd still get 95+ %

that would probably work better for me! i need my sleep but i'd forget stuff if i dragged it out.

i'm not sure how much different the English school system was (or new zealand, not sure when you moved) but here exams are around 40% of our grade, on average.

my head is spinning from all these assorted terms.

I went to school in England. They were just starting to introduce 'course work' in my last couple of years, which were grades that counted throughout the year. Most of it was still on the final exam though. It suited me, I do well in exams.

Wait, so does that mean the final exam counted for 100% of your grade before that?

Yes.

Not a problem for people like me, who are good at cramming tons of info in at the last minute. Not so good for the rest of the world.

I think I would have liked that too. Sleep through 90% of the semester, learn the few important things right at the end, take the exam, and then forget it all the next day

^ Yep. That was exactly what I did. Infuriated my classmates. I would study for a day or two, and then thrash them on results. As I said to them, it didn't mean I was cleverer than them, I just have a brain that works well that way.
