This picture made me happy, and actually made me want to re-watch season 7 of Buffy even though Kennedy ruined that season by being annoying as fuck.

Is that you beside Allison?

That's Felicia Day.

Oh... I have no idea who that is.







So I got an email back from the casting director and it turns out the costumes designed for the opera were designed for dancers, 33" being the largest size. CRAZY! My waist is 38" however my hips are at 35". Weird.

Anyway.

Serious? There is no way you have a 38" waist. Well going by the photos I've seen. You look tiny.

Amanda signed my pencil case and liked my hair cut (i hate my hair cut but it's awesome that she likes it)

Didn't you just cut your hair? I thought you liked it why don't you?

yes i did. i liked it how the hairdresser did it. then i let my mum persuade me to cut it shorter, now i don't like it. at least it'll grow back!

I got an essay back last week. Got a 2.i which I was happy with but the marker had put that my referencing was both 2.i level and 3rd level. Very confusing. I was worried that I still wasn't referencing properly. Anyway just had a meeting to discuss it and my technical referencing is fine, he just wasn't sure some of my sources were credible enough. My meeting was with someone who it turns out didn't mark it, but the one who did put sarcastic comments on my paper, and the meeting guy said he wouldn't have been sarcastic about it. What still confuses me, though, is that he didn't believe I had read an article I cited from 1880, when I obviously did because I quoted from it. That's where the marker put 'really?' next to the reference. How can I reference something I haven't read?

I suspect there are students who reference works they haven't read.
Honesty like your's is rare enough.

YMMV - I'm not in your school:

 .  I would xerox enough of each questionable source,
and highlight the quote with a key to the reference number in your paper,
and give it to the marker you meet,
and ask him to share it with the marker who marked your paper.

With a note, that you just wanted to show you had actually read the sources
you referenced, and wanted them to fully believe you.

My goal would be for the markers to learn that I am an exception here,
so for future papers I wouldn't have the problem.

I googled the article just to make sure I hadn't accidentally quoted from a later source. Sure enough, there it was in pdf form, with the year I quoted as publishing year. I'm going to email him, because when he said 'I think he's written this because its 1880' I thought I'd typo'd the date or something so I said 'oh that's the problem.' Only later realised he meant I couldn't possibly have read an article from back then. So I'm going to link the pdf and ask him again why this wasn't an appropriate reference.

excellent.

Only problem is going to be trying to phrase it in a way that doesn't sound like I'm saying 'clearly you're marking is wrong and you have no faith in your students'. I'm not even making that assumption until I find out what his problem was. This is the issue when all you put is a sarcy comment instead of explaining yourself. He obviously thought I knew I hadn't read it and wanted to show he had noticed, but it is confusing when you've done everything in good faith.

A little rudeness goes a long way, tbh. He deserves to apologise to you, maybe being a bit snotty about it will help.

I'm making great progress on a book I'm supposed to make for school. This morning I had 2 really vague ideas over what I could do. This afternoon, after class, I went to my favourite coffee place, sat down, ordered a coffee, opened up my notebook on an empty page and the ideas just kept coming. I was able to tie them together in one concept, too! That's usually the hardest part. It's easy to get individual ideas, the difficult part is to find their overlap and make them into a cohesive book. After this little thinking session, I went to the art supply store and bought some materials I'll need for making a few samples (which I will make tonight).


I'm just so happy because my inspiration for school assignments has been majorly blocked for MONTHS now, it was getting annoying and it was possibly threatening my results... My theory is that the early spring sun helped me kill the designer's block!

[Indja]

@Sarah - Fair enough. I'd be a bit more abrupt about it, personally, but your way sounds nicer xD


My day was made by seeing the Muppets movie. Fucking ace xD

Second day in a row i'm doing good in the schoolwork department: got up to go to school at 8:30, arrived at school at 10:10 (lecturer wasn't there, which did piss me off, as he was supposed to be there, he didn't tell anyone he wasn't going to. It's pretty annoying as we have evaluation in 2 weeks and we're all in need of feedback). Asked a class mate for some help on getting a website online, bought domain name, downloaded filezilla, put an assignment on it, to see if it was working, and is is! Yay.

Spent half the afternoon at a coffee bar, researching stuff for the books I'm making, made some progress there. Am now at the library doing the same thing. I'm being so productive! Yay.

Oops, I meant my hips were a size 33".

Um, to be honest, I have no idea how to measure my chest or my waist. From what I know, you take a measuring tape and wrap it around your chest where the largest part is and wherever the number is is your chest size. As for the waist, the waist is traditionally around the belly button and not around the hips where people wear their pants these days. Oh well, I'm going in for a fitting soon so that the COC has an official record of my measurements.

nipple level is chest size and waist is navel or an inch below navel.

This depends on if you are looking at "natural waist" -for measuring clothes or your WHR (waist-to-hip ratio), in which case it would be the thinnest part of your torso, usually bit above the bellybutton. If you are looking at jeans waist, it entirely depends on where the waistband of the jeans will fall. The jeans I wear are usually 32 inch, though I have a low-slung pair that is 34 inch. I also have some high street shop jeans that have the waist size of 29" (which means, they have put your natural waist size on the jeans, rather than the waistband size).
