Jesus Christ jack!!! Where do you live?? Hell??

Yes, and this is the theme song.

Spoiler :

Warning- probably has inappropriate content. I've never been able to listen to this song the whole way through because I hate it, but it is a rap song, so it has a good chance of being NSFP (not safe for parents).

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Wait I don't get the joke

 

[jackelgull]

There is none. I just hate this song so much I believe it could very well be the theme song to hell.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Ahh, very point

Lucky Northerners, college goes past 6th of July here, and the best part is that I have no idea when it actually ends, this is a mystery only my teachers may solve

 

[TheNoob]

Wow I only now realized RT's name is based off The Royal Tenenbaums.

Yeah. That's quite a contrast to the stuff we wrote, isn't it?

Just 2 more exams to go and then summer break starts! If you don't know, school finishes on (In Iranian Calendar, the last day of Ordibehesht) (In American and European calendars (can't remember the name) usually around 20th of May) but then, the exams starts so we must go to our schools to take the test but we go immediately home after the exams. The time we must go to school until the exams finish depend on the school and how much space the school decides to give between the exams. Our exams will be finished on 14th of June.

 

[Spirictum]

You have a whole month and a half only to do exams?

 

[VGL]

it's only one month. From where did you bring the half?

 

[Spirictum]

it's only one month. From where did you bring the half?

Well, from around 20th of April until around 14th of June is almost 2 months actually, but I decreased to 1 month and a half.

 

[VGL]

April? Oh sorry. I meant to write May.

Now it's less strange, but it's still unusual for this part of the world. We have classes and exams all mixed up in the whole semester, both in school and college. In my college it's even worse, it's the teacher who chooses how to apply exams, and of course each teacher chooses differently, so if he wants only 1 exam on the semester it's ok, if he wants 2, 3 or 4, it's also ok. If he wants to transform a single exam into 2 to become a single grade, he can too. He is also the one that says when they are going to happen, with almost no regard to the college's calendar. They also may choose how the grade is calculated, which culminated in this specific formula to make the grade of the subject Basic Software:

Where T comes from a program project we may do in pairs or alone, and P is the test itself (it seems I mixed the letters, but the project we call Trabalho and the test we call Prova ).

I couldn't believe my eyes when I realised this was real, and that my grade would be calculated by this formula.

My university just feeds us bananas and we swing from tree to tree.
