Still gutted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And guess what...the day we leave for Florida is the day of the Law resits. So, I'm twice as fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVB 2,560 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Papaguy, if you can live with your decision, fair enough. All i'm saying is that just about every other bear would drop everything and try to be there. On a personal level, i have 3 seperate contracts which i will be jeapordizing by going to Manchester. If i lose the contracts i'll be fucked, & i'll get serious grief from the missus, & my parents & probably my kids. None of that matters a fuck. I've waited all my life to get to a European final. If we get to Manchester, i will be following on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really my last chance for a degree in something I want to do and given that I only have 1 resit that I probably won't be there for, I really can't miss it. Tis my future! Don't get me wrong though, I've even asked my lecturer to let me sit the exam a 2 days previous so I can go, but no no avail. There's really nothing I can do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCLoyal9 53 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Papaguy . I liked the suggestion of falling "ill" the best. Surely if you plead , say , a terrible fever then the exam can be rescheduled to cope. It might seem a little blatant and of course , if anyone else in your Uni reads this forum then you would likely be busted. Worth a go all the same?

Postponements of exams need to be accompanied by a doctors note. If not, they are treated as a no show. Well then , theres only one thing for it. Find something out of date in the cupboard , eat it , and pray to God for food poisoning. That should get Dr. Quack to comply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman 0 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I can't mate, my education is more important to me than any football game. Thats a piss poor attitude mate. You might be an old man with Alzheimers disease by the time we make another Euro final. you're going to spend your life listening to everyone elses stories of a great day, wishing you had been there. Thats IF we get there of course. Nah mate, that's bollocks. I think it's perfectly reasonable to place my future over one football game Obviously no that big a fan then. Good luck with your exam. A massive fan mate, but given that it's my 2nd course after leaving the 1st one after 3 years, it means that I'm a) paying over £1200 a year for it myself and b) don't get the 3 resits everyone else does. If I don't pass this one, I only get one other attempt. And it's not an easy one, media law Don't want to spend my summer studying for a resit where I need over 50% where I could sit it on the 15th and I only need 40% to pass it. Still going to watch the game, just can't make it to Manchester and this course is my last chance of a degree in something I want to do I don't see why that makes me less of a fan. I'm with you Papa....I don't mean to offend anyway, but anyone who risks their entire future over a football game is simply a person who will ulitimately go nowhere in life. People with your attitude are the type who succeed in life, wheras the people who are criticizing you are the types who will spend their entire lives doing the exact same thing and will end up living and dying having achieved nothing worthwhile at all! I have recently come back from spending a lot of time in a 3rd world country, and now I realise just how trivial most people lives are in the UK! Where I was life was a constant struggle for people, so much so that I met many people who had walked over a thousand miles in their bare feet just for the oppurtunity for a job, a job that involved carrying over 100kgs on your back for 14 hours a day and the wages were simply enough food for a day...so after seeing that it makes the idea of someone missing an important exam over a football game laughable. I would go as far to say that after seeing what I saw when I was away, anybody who would miss an important exam over a football game should never have been given the opportunity of an education as they are simply ungrateful spoilt products of a wealthy society. Most people in the UK simply don't realise just how easy and trivial their lives are! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally19713 0 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Think we're all getting a little ahead of ourselves here. Still a massive job to do in italy. quite worrying how blase everyone on here is being about this. As for Papaguy. whats the problem? study like fuck between now and then. if we do get there, drive. get the train, hire 50,000 carrier pigeons. youre not going to be studying the day before the exam anyway - everyone who's passed an exam knows thats a waste of time anyway. study like fuck now = celebrate later! and stop banging on as if one stupid exam is a life defining moment.
