I'm not sure about bgb but the term "semester" is pretty shit.

Its what they're called now.
We don't have terms cos there are only two.
Its shitty and american, I know.

Same when I was at uni but the head of the course refused to call them semesters
and called them "long terms".

It also doesn't make any sense
it means you have 12 straight weeks of teaching before christmas, which makes it hard to concentrate by the end, then you have exams straight after christmas, which is also shit, then you have more teaching, then you have to do as much revision for your second set of exams during easter, but you haven't actually been taught everything you need yet as the third "term" involves teaching the end of the second "semester" then you have your final exams with no break in between to revise the last stuff you have been taught.

On the plus side, you get a fantastically long summer holiday. I went to Croatia once.

I got round this problem by doing very little work or revision
that way it didn't matter at all.

My sister got a 'Fred Durst'
but it was in Sports Science so she is shunned by the rest of the family.

And breathe.
Its worth it for the summer holiday.
I shall get round this in the same way I've gotten round the revision for every exam since my GCSEs.

Piss about on here.

a wise decision
don't let work get in the way of not doing anything meaningful. You'll be nicely set up for getting a job after uni.

It's true
it's not like her vagina is going to forget what it's for is it.

What?
I don't quite understand this.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 16:09, Reply)

I was being exceptionally crude and offensive
in suggesting that as an attractive woman it makes no difference what you learn at Uni as you will always have a career in prostitution if you want it.

No offence mind!

None taken!
You have a point.

it seems unlikely
although there is precedent. TGB's vagina thinks it is this place:
