Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Got to read Lord of the flies for English for next week. Only read half of it. <_<

I didn't even read my personal study. Done the NAB for it last week, and my teacher said it looks good. God knows how!

I'm about to go ape-shit. After having all my files and stuff transported from my old hard drive to my new one, all my videos (about 40GB of TV shows) are playing, but the quality's really bad and it's dead stop-start. So much so that it's pretty much impossible to watch.

And that means I'll need to download all the stuff again, which'll take about a billion years.

Try a different codec. Here's a big pack of the main ones: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm

I've watched a couple of episodes of the Office and it's not as bad as first feared. Cheers anyway.

Edit: Ace, just downloaded that and it works like a charm. Thanks, BD.

Tutorial assignment for tomorrow. I haven't started. Not through laziness, I physically cannot do it. I don't understand the material, I don't have the book (through no fault of my own) and there's no chance of doing it for tomorrow. You think if I just tell the truth I can be allowed to do it at a later date after gaining a bit of help from my tutor?

Also, when opposing teams fail to turn up to matches.

If you don't understand what you need to do, OF COURSE you need to tell your tutor. That's what they're there for.

Is it anything that anyone here can help with, perhaps?

Edit because that didn't really answer the question. Depending on how long you've had the assignment set for, you may get limited sympathy. I mean, if it was set a week ago and you've been sitting on it since, you ought to still get help and the chance to hand it in later, but you'll probably get a bollocking for not having said so earlier.

In my experience they never take tutorial stuff too seriously. I always did mine on time but on the odd occassion people in my tutorial group didn't and nothing much was said.

If you explain you are struggling a bit, then they'll show some sympathy and at worst he/she will be a bit irritated.

What do you do?

Outrage in the xbl house tonight, Ludovic got put out of Masterchef. :(

My PTTGOYN: reading Masterchef spoilers in the PTTGOYN thread! <_<:rolleyes:

I watched the first half on the telly and planned to watch the second half on the iPlayer - Ludo must have made a mess of his last challenge if he's been knocked out, I was sure he'd make it to the finals.
