I failed one of my tasks in my design course
and got the result on Friday so that was a bit depressing. Turned out I just answered the question in a completely different way from what they wanted and I can resubmit it so it doesn't really matter, but still, it took me ages. BELM.

That's a pisser.
Will it take you long to redo it or is it just a bit of juggling?

I'll have to do the whole thing again
I just went in the completely wrong direction. Once I sit down with the information and get started on the essay it doesn't take me long at all, it's the research bit and the getting in the mind-set bit, when I'd rather be playing Fallout.

At least you have the feedback.
I join you in the BELM, I actually watched the slab fall. I should have been able to move one foot, but failed to.

but which foot would you have sacrificed?

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:02, Reply)

A very good point
One of them for sure. Probably the left as I think I normally start with the right. On reflection, thinking about it would have resulted in what really happened.

if you could move one though,
couldn't you have moved them both?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 7 Jun 2010, 9:08, Reply)

Well possibly,
It took under a second from seeing the slab start to topple, to impact. I was backed up in a confined space, and I was trying to stop another peice from falling.

I'm not saying you're retarded for leaving them there
I just think that if you had moved one foot, it's mean on the foot you chose to save. Poor lefty.

I think if my bollocks had been in the same situation
I would have moved faster.
