New Kicks ass! New Kicks Ass!!! Well, of course this is a biased opinion, but who cares- it's true. New college is so aweosme because its not a total pissup- if people want to go get pissed they have to go outside college, so it makes the study atmosphere better (in theory). The best bit...

well, right now i couldn't give a shit- cos i'm all finished and now i'm a free man for at least a couple of months.

Yeah mate- plenty more people who do astrophysics- i just don't know how to take this exam- i mean i could answer it all- with just a few minor things i had to botch a bit- but i didn't come out of the exam feeling "that was the easiest exam ever"- dunno why oh well- i wish they put more...

Yeah i thought the shopping one was the easiest at the time as well- i don't know about the rest of the paper though- it seemed that even the shorter answer questions were worth 4 and 6 marks. Also- the analysis of a cashless society seemed more like a commerce or some other type of question.
