^sound good to me!
btw i've just watched the new batman yesterday evening…great great movie I have to say. was pretty much impressed but "the bat" is one hell of an fugly ride

[Megatron1505]

Yeh, but when your ride has vertical take off, mini cannons and rocket launchers, I doubt how pretty it is bothers you too much 

[Finn666]

^true that

on a serious note:
yesterday's exam was pretty good but my feelings on the one I had on monday weren't fooling me…failed  so did 50% of the students that wrote the same exam on monday! 

going to meet with the director of studies in 2h and see if we can "arrange" something...I don't need to write another exam, nor do I need to write my thesis - all said and done - and shit, I don't even need that subject area (I failed in) for what I can see myself working in as a civil engineer! that's what pisses me off the most 

sry for turning this into a rant!...

[Megatron1505]

It will work out Rafa, have faith man 

[Sugar Mountain]

Wow man, 50% failure rate speaks volumes about either the quality of the teaching or the exam paper that was set. Unbelievable. Hope things work out positively for you.

[Giles]

Only 2 of them took the exam…..

Sorry Rafa.  Onwards and upwards and very good luck.....

[hectic]

^ you bastard

Best wishes Finn

[davito]

Good luck mate

[Seul]

50% fail rate speaks for itself.

[Finn666]

thanks a lot guys…actually 140 people had to write the exam, 90 said fuck it and going to write it in febr./march and the other 50 took the beating...well actually "just" 22 of´em, me included 

so yeah, going to see what happens next. i´m still able to write the same subject in febr./march again...

just talked to the director of studies and yeah, there are still 1-2 chances to work things out the "normal" way, the final option would be to write it in febr./march again...so let´s wait and see!

but for now...

cheers all!

Drink up, buddy. You deserve it. All you have to do is wait now, which sucks.. but I'm sure it'll fine in the end.

And congrats to Chris for becoming one of the "infamous Mod squad."

@madmonday:

…miss a few hours you miss alot

Yup, you gotta stay on top of things, buddy.  All sorts of bad stuff happens when you're not around.;)

[madmonday]

ah figure its like a beautiful accident you can not look away from.  wait is that comment pushing the limits too much?  which mod gets the unfortunate task of dealing with me as it seems you have been assigned to seul?

[Chris]

I get multiple troublemakers; one per time zone, I think.  Lucky for me, you and Seul are on different continents.:)

[madmonday]

better check your contract to make sure you know for sure.  think you are gonna need to include a "time is of the essence" claiuse to make sure you okay

no-one "deals" with anyone, it is merely assumed that members will conduct themselves cordially, like in any other pleasant social environment.

guess bad choice of the Queen's language, or is that the Lord's?

in any event, thanks for the responses. some were a bit more "pleasant" than others
