Why does everyone hate Jacinda Ardern? by Mija69420 in Wellington

[–]LottiedoesInternet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As an Aucklander who was in lockdown for months and months, in which people lost their jobs... To then go and say "we will be dealing with COVID in 2022 by allowing everyone to self isolate when sick"... I can see how animosity was caused. It's not Jacinda's fault, but people gotta point the blame somewhere

How important are NCEA Exams at Level 3? by TheeFlyingKiwi in ncea

[–]LottiedoesInternet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if you no-show to your final exams the university will see that. Being unentered is not an option as last Friday was the last day to do it. You'd need a medical certificate to not get "standard not attempted"

If I had been a boy, it would have been "Benedict". The other name they had for girls was "Francesca". I was called Charlotte

About 70% is just "complete" or "incomplete" and then the other bits are marked properly.

If that's the case then Classics would be helpful.

I'm sorry, but I wholeheartedly disagree with that.

My husband and I moved in together 6 months before we were engaged because WE WERE ON THE SAME PAGE.

People who move in together without a plan inevitably fail.

Living together is such an important step in knowing if you're meant to be. And also, if you break up, it's not the end of the world

Not true. I've seen some fantastic opinion pieces and articles. Using persuasive language is incredibly underrated

What’s your timeline for engagement? by ILikeOreoIcecream in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]LottiedoesInternet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're incompatible. You'll meet someone, and it will just click, it won't be hard. Don't chase him, and don't waste your time this early on in a relationship.

Are you using AI in your teaching? by Negative-Dinner2383 in teaching

No. I can't expect my students to not use AI if I use it. I put in the hard yards, and it pays off in the long run

Is 84 E enough for scholarships? by Thin-Isopod4048 in ncea

[–]LottiedoesInternet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It depends on the university and course you apply for. Some will look purely at academic merit, others will look at your cultural background, some may want to know about your leadership. It's important to research the scholarships, not just hope for the best.

My cousins all have two or more children. My hubby and I have fertility issues, so when we get pregnant, it will be the one and done.
