Hey, nothing important happening today, just... defending my dissertation, that's all.
You know, that thing that basically decides whether I graduate or not.
Woo!
scarred:

Good luck with the defending! Do you get to wear a little shield and brandish a sword of learning?
Guys, I thought university was meant to be where you studied something you really cared about, something you're so passionate about that you'll happily get into thousands of pounds of debt in order to sit at the feet of the world's leading experts, soaking up their knowledge and wisdom on topics that light a fire in your imagination?
If that is the case, why am I reading about the Roman civil law remedies for insults?
And if it is not the case, why the hell am I here at all?
Nodaisho:
Because they feel like they need to release "Well-rounded" students into the world, rather than ones that know what they need to know for their job. Vo-tech colleges avoid that idea, but if you are doing something that isn't covered by a certification, you are out of luck there.
Barmymoo:
Well-rounded? There are only two universities in the country who make Roman law compulsory , which suggests it is not necessary in order to be well-rounded. I don't want to know what I need for a job, I want to study what I care about! Which is not the muddled, messy, obselete law of people who have been dead for centuries.
