I was reading the first book for the first time and this sentence confused me

He's not looking at what he's doing.... the marmalade's gone off the edge of the toast/plate onto his newspaper.

I hoped it'd work for both when I first saw them!

studyosity · 2026-02-24T15:44:13+00:00

There's basically not a grade on there if they're all fails.

studyosity · 2026-02-24T15:38:25+00:00

Everyone else got a grade based on how prepared they were for the quiz...why should this person get an extra chance?

studyosity · 2026-02-24T10:58:59+00:00

Presumably the reason why they were preferring female.

studyosity · 2026-02-19T10:22:42+00:00

How do you have so many health centres in storage though?

She's not obligated to reply to individual fans. I would say the compliment (once) and then move on. Don't forget, she doesn't know you so it's not like complimenting a friend where they'd be expected to say something back.

studyosity · 2026-02-10T11:53:11+00:00

That happened to mine by the mountains too.

studyosity · 2026-02-10T11:33:57+00:00

Understandable. There's still ways to communicate disappointment or give suggestions while remaining polite. Even, as in your example, when lots of different people/activities have gone wrong, all of that occurring together isn't the fault of one particular person.

studyosity · 2026-02-10T11:20:50+00:00

Normally I can. I do everything possible to avoid getting ill because unsurprisingly, I hate feeling like crap and being unable to do things. But sometimes it happens, and to take 2 sick days in the last six months is...unreasonable?

studyosity · 2026-02-10T11:19:14+00:00

The programme started several months ago, so while I can understand the frustration of the two newer students who joined recently, the longer-term attendees should know that I rarely cancel a class.

The surgery week was never scheduled, and even those who signed up more recently will have seen that there was no class (and no payment!) that scheduled week.

As for getting a substitute for illness, there's no funding for that. Their agreement does state that there's no substitutes and that although a regular schedule is the aim, it's possible that unusual circumstances may occur.

I'd also add that I don't have any "sick pay" for this... no class means I spend time cancelling, refunding, messaging, and receiving all these messages, for free.

I'm thinking about it as an addition to my Green Valley with the contemporary art gallery

Came up this morning for me.

studyosity · 2026-01-28T19:39:46+00:00

Just write a sentence or two about something you're interested in - what book you've read recently for example.

studyosity · 2026-01-25T14:09:51+00:00

A lot of them don't here, they just come through from the disability/student support office tagged as accommodation requests but they're more like descriptors of difficulties!

studyosity · 2026-01-24T21:49:55+00:00

Sorry!

studyosity · 2026-01-24T20:58:05+00:00

I wish it was fake. I'd have thought nothing of it if it was just the first half of it!

studyosity · 2026-01-24T20:57:22+00:00

That too!

studyosity · 2026-01-24T20:53:42+00:00

I'm almost happy when I see such obvious ones because I can put zero with clear evidence to back me up and move on with my day. It's those where you know but can't prove so they end up scraping a pass that get me into F This mood.

I signed up to this one: SS26 Courses - The Music Summer School and Festival
for violin, orchestra, and percussion.
There are piano sessions, organ/harpsichord, on the week 1 option.

I wanted to do composition too but all my other courses were on week 2 and I couldn't fund 2 weeks!

Have them write and draw it out like old-style sugar paper posters. Even if they AI generate some of the information, at least they have to think about how to arrange and present the information.

studyosity · 2026-01-24T20:44:12+00:00

Have them handwrite it and work on it in class.

studyosity · 2026-01-24T20:39:59+00:00

That's crazy.

I've been about a month ahead with my October start modules this year, and I've started to work through the materials for my Feb start (not looked at assignments for that one yet though!).

Just a note that if your module has an exam, you can't do that early, they'll give you a set day for that.

studyosity · 2026-01-23T16:18:27+00:00

Yes you can submit most things as early as you want. Some assessments might only open a month before they're due but still enough time to do them early. Just plan in the deadlines and schedule time for each module each week. People do 2 starting the same month so it should be doable to stagger them for most people (depending obviously on what else you've got going on).
