"Lecturer strikes"

I now have Wednesday and Thursday off

Happy? No

My History and Sociology essay topics are being lectured on this week and its hard to change.

Ah well, fight the power yeah great. I'll be supporting you in my bed.

Long grey hair, as in really really ancient? Like say 3000 years old? Might have been Xerxes then.

I've applied to Philosophy at Manchester. Already been for an open day. The tour guide showed us a few buildings then took us for a pint. I had no money, so couldn't buy one even if I wanted one. But I did see a really cool guy with long grey hair.

And possibly you, somewhere.

Speaking of open days, if you've applied to take Computer Science in Manchester next year, there's a good chance you'll bump into me when you come and visit for your interview, where I'll be your glorious tour guide for the day.

And get free lunch and get paid

But I'm there mainly to help, really

When I read the title I thought a lecturer had bitten you or something. It sounds like a Channel Five programme.

I was supposed to be going to a Liverpool University open day tomorrow, but that's been cancelled. I'm not bothering to visit now, their loss.

I only ever write down statistics, dates and books in lectures now. All I used to do was not pay attention and quickly write down notes I hardly looked at.

Yep, best way to essays is to not even look at your notes because well over half a class just rewrites the notes they made.

Apparently for honour students who exams in April they won't mark and might not be elligeable to pass this year.

I used to avoid going to lectures on the things I was writing essays about because I'd just regurgitate my notes (sample: revolutionary wars --> decline in availability of cotton --> british producers forced to use lower quality imports from...she iz well fit--> pub?) and get a rubbish mark. The trick with essays is to cite your lecturer's articles freely and uncritically, and weigh into everyone else's arguments with a 10-ton shovel.

But, yeah, my bro's got this lecturer strike stuff too. And if they don't get their way then the plan is to not mark any coursework? That'll be scary. And annoying, but only for the students.
