Your liver should get the degree in that case.
I think someone has already said something similar
Is this Stockholm Syndrome?

I think it's a phenomenon known as Stockholm Syndrome, actually.

I think it's StockAitkenandWaterman syndrome. That's a bad syndrome and if you're lucky lucky lucky you shouldn't get afflicted with it.

Oh shit, best get to the doctors sharpish.

it does make a difference if you got a good degree, gets you into training schemes etc. i didn't get a good degree though :P
did you get a desmond?


re the degrees for jobs, half the time the subject is irrelevant, it is more what you got first, 2:1 etc. It's supposed to show that you are self-motivated as you don't have people to push you like in school.

Tbh half the time it is bollox, you can have very clever people academically who are thick when it comes to common sense and applying what they have learnt to real life work situations.

Now is shushytime, so shush or the shush police will shush you.

You'd probably like that though, so it's not much of a threat to be honest.

yup i'm fully desmonded. was probably about as unmotivated as you possibly could be. didn't ever read the books and usually started the essays after they were due in. i rather disgracefully milked the depression card when i wasn't even depressed and got all my lateness penalties removed and was able to retake for the full marks even though you can usually only get a maximum of 40% retakes. depression ftw 8)
