This is my last weekend off before Xmas and my last couple of days before I have to start working a ridiculous number of hours at work, so tonight the plan is to get as fucked up as possible and make it last the whole weekend.

I scored a 25 hour per week job this morning that I start on Monday, so my last weekend of unemployment's gonna be similar.

Still must have caused you a lot of bother, I imagine. Some very good friends of mine live in a thatched cottage, which burnt down last April due to a socket being left on overnight.

This reply comes a bit late, but anyway...
No bother at all. I bought the house AFTER it has been restored and all :)

Went to the German Market again, but this time with some of my new friends. As I predicted, it was far better. I also resisted blowing my money on coffee and snacks for once.

I slept for 15 hours straight, after being up for more than 48 hours finishing assignments and prepping for finals.

Speaking of finals, just finished a take-home final, whose answers were all on the internet and in my book.

I don't know if I should feel bad about cheating... I mean, if an instructor gives you a test to take home, it's probably apathy rather than a test of integrity. (or they want everyone to pass, which would indicate a desire for the students to cheat)

I know the material, but why not get a perfect score?
Welp, that's what I up and did...

Don't feel bad. I had a take-home exam for one of my political science courses last year, and I had two days to complete it, so I thought "what the hell, they won't know that I'm researching info I need to know for this thing." Instructors should expect that if they're assigning take-home exams.

Of course, instructors want everyone to pass, or at least as many students as possible receiving a passing grade. Here, they usually have a quota to meet (I think it's 80% or something), and exceeding that quota looks really good on their record. I had one professor in first year that was actually suspended last year, because for three consecutive semesters (or four, I don't remember), less than 60% of students passed her course.
