What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Oh yeah I heard about that happening Eonwe. Just look on the bright side if you can and be glad it wasn't something like A levels so you wouldn't even know whether you'd got into uni!

I shall assign unpredictable weather. When I left this morning it was gorgeous sunshine so I dressed for it, when I came back it had turned rather chilly. It irritating to be summery and yet carry an umbrella and a jumper!

I would like to assign people with stupid whims - or rather the whims. Especially if they have something to do with my precious little laptop. Or net connection.

As a matter of fact, I have had several dreams in which the person in question (my father) was Sauron.

Yes, that is the problem with England. We get the good old British weather!

People who lull me into a false sense that they're fairly okay customers, then they binge on drinks from the bar and don't pay for a single one.

To top it off, they're 'regulars'. I hate first days...

I assign - with great conviction - the fact that if I hadn't had to take so many useless general education 'liberal arts' classes (which taught me - guess what! - things I already knew), I would have had time to take classes worth taking and I wouldn't feel like I was two semesters short of a totally useless degree.

I also assign standardized testing. I really thought I was done after the SATs.

Coworkers who tell you not to finish a task until they're done with something, then tell you to finish it, and when you ask if they're done yet, just repeat that you should do it... and then, when you start doing it, yell at you because they aren't done.

Oh, and working alongside high school students after graduating from college.

Racism from people who should know better. It doesn't matter whether you've lived in the country or seen a few families from it, racism is racism and there is no excuse. Passing this on to your children as acceptable is also inexcusable.

Professors who assign impossibly thick books in a very short time. Come on. Sentimental Education in three days?! No wonder most turn to Sparknote. bwahahaha.

Also, this habagat, or southwest monsoon that makes the weather utterly unpredictable. One moment it's impossibly hellishly hot, the next, you're stranded because you left your darling umbrella at home. T_T
