Re: Im in trouble at uni
Arrogance is considered by most to be rude, yes. But then, I dont know you, so i dont presume to know whether you are or not purely by your actions on an internet forum.

Re: Im in trouble at uni
its not arrogance, its a reasoned judgement.
i spread love and happiness to all those around me. Lighting up the lives of boring proles for the few seconds of their lives they are exposed to my brilliance. That certainly seems positive to me.

Re: Im in trouble at uni
Here is my e-mail to Stephen Bowd
Dear Stephen,
Please find enclosed in this e-mail a draft of a student of yours e-mail he intends to send to the head of your course in which tries to blame his shortcomings on ADHD, also find included the html source of which there is the actual draft of the e-mail he had sent you and further posts of which he admits an involvement in high amount of drugs and general apathy to your course has led him to ignorantly put himself in said situation.
I ask that you do not exempt someone who endorses the use of class a and b drugs in recreational usage and to the detriment of one's career be allowed to continue with this course until he seeks Rehabilitation.
Your's Sincerely,
A concerned member of the Internet Society which said pupil of yours 'procastinates' on.**
**I really do Hope Deepflow used fake names here when referencing to his teachers, he has used a fake phone number I believe. If he hasn't I'm going to investigate and send this for shits and giggles.

I am writing to you as I have a problem with one of my BAHSS units (Rise of Persecuting Society) and after speaking to my tutor (Stephen Bowd) he advised that I contact you about it. I did try to phone you today but that was at 5 o clock just after I had finished speaking to Stephen and the switchboard was closed.
Basically, I have not completed one of my pieces of coursework for Persecuting Society. Stephen told me that there would be no point handing it in at this juncture anyway, as the deadline for coursework has passed. Further to this, I also missed the exam in Persecuting Society on the fifth of May. I addressed a letter to the board of examiners and handed it into the HSS office as I was advised to do by the man working there, and hope to be able to take the exam at some point in the future. Of course I will only be able to acheive 40% if I am allowed to do this.
I would complete the last piece of coursework now if it would still make a difference. However, I have over 40% in the unit despite the lack of this piece. That is assuming I am able to get 40% in the exam, which I am very confident of.
As far as I know, I have passed all of my other units (excluding Globalisation, which I still have to take an exam for on the 27th of May). I do not want this to now be a huge problem for me, and am willing to do whatever it takes to solve it. I am still very keen to finish the university course if possible, and will certainly be more professional in my approach to work in years 2 and 3.
Also, I have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and received support for this throughout school and college. While I don't see it as an excuse for my recent organisational blunders. It would be foolish for me to not mention it at this point if there is any chance you knowing it would help me get through this.
You now have my email address and my phone number is 0141334314 if you wish to contact me. In any case, I will phone you tomorrow.
Thankyou in advance
Henry Bamford

Re: Im in trouble at uni
Since Stephen Bowd looks like this, I doubt he's a particularly harsh individual.
As for exams / success at uni; I never ever tried to achieve a "good" grade. I find the whole notion of grading fairly childish tbh. I want no part of it. My graded work is always consistently among the lowest marks achieved.

It's a neural disorder which can prevent you doing tasks, so probably.

depends on the scope of the disorder really. I have never seen ADHD linked to this kind of thing before, and given that he seems to be doing everything else, apart from writing dates down, done perfectly well, I question the relevance of mentioning it. Plus from the tone of his letter and the flow of the thread thus far, it seems as if it is tacked on as an excuse. If attention to work was a more general problem then I would be more understanding. but then I am no professional, so it is not really fair for me to pass any judgement. I will leave that up to people better able to make a sound decision than myself.

They didn't want to better society. They were just overly people. Your surrender of self to society sickens both me and Rand.

Re: Im in trouble at uni
i made friends with the guy that sorts out things for students who get in "trouble" during their study.
very handy, i can recommend it to anyone.
oh and if i were you i'd visit him or call him to meet somewhere instead of writing a letter in the first place. if you need to get things done that are unusual, the official way may cause more problems than when you just step up to the person who is responsable and explain it face to face.

Re: Im in trouble at uni
I got an email from the head of the course today :
Dear Henry--You should complete your remaining Examinations and assuming that you have performed
appropriately across the other units you would probably be offered the opportunity to resit the Exam
in persecuting Soc and supply the outstanding Course Work for the September Resit Board and if
successful enter Year2 inOctober 2004 with the other students in your cohort. If you need to speak
to me make an appointment via the Humanities Office but I hope this is clear.
well whoop di doo.
pah pish poo to all you pessimistic bastards, it IS possible to **** up due to drugs and pass the 1st year.
now heres hoping i dont do it again

absolutley true. if you do drugs, especially in your age, you know the consequences, so doing drugs as excuse, is not very honorable.

Well, more to the point it's possible to mess up your university life without being on drugs, and it's possible to do very well while on drugs.

Re: Im in trouble at uni
not in my experience
i cant remember the last time ive gone to sleep without being heavily wasted in some fashion, and at its peak i used to start getting caned as soon as i woke up while watching neighbours.
i think im going to cut down next year, im hoping i start to get bored of it soon, that would help.

If the Government banned people who take drugs, drink too much and don't do any work from going to university, they'd be hard pressed to get 5% of young people in, let alone 50%.
