The Official Simms Uni Thread part II

Had exams on monday and wednesday and an essay due monday which i've just finished.

 

In the shoutbox i posted about my flatmate having a girl in his room.

I worked out who it is. The same girl on our course i went on a few dates with last year and then since has completely blanked me.

 

"Few dates?" If you're not getting nuts in after 2, it's because you've not asked for it.

 

Eeesh, tough break.

I knew a girl at Uni who slept with two guys from the same house on different one-night-stands. She didn't even realise they were from the same house until she saw the first guy the following morning... Luckily I was seeing her before those incidents.

 

I say dates I don't really know if they were we just went out to the comedy club a few times and it was awkward and she ignored me since.

 

did you play tonsil tennis after the comedy club, if not then they were not dates.

its always awkward hearing your flatmates going at it however. in my 4th year one of my housemates and his girlfriend were upstairs, whilst the rest of us were watching tv downstairs. we had to keep turning the tv up and up, they sounded like a pair or angry baboons.

 

No.

They weren't getting it on, just talking but i couldn't quite here what was being said.

 

Glass on the wall, or repeat your going to get water antics.

 

Simms/Kieran/Anyone else who is interested - I came across this quiz that might be of interest to you!

I got Epicurus.

Thanks. I got epicuras too!

 

Yep, same.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see your post at the top of this page simms. I trust you worked it all out fine in the end though. Predicate logic was a pain in the neck especially at first, but we went away from predicate logic after one semester of it, into more interesting, easier to get your head round the basics, areas of logic. What textbook are you using (assuming you're going off of one guy's symbolic logic at a time at this stage)? Also, if you're struggling for cash and you have to buy a logic book that's both essential to your course & a bit pricey (some can be), drop me a PM as I may have it and you're welcome to borrow books if in need.

 

I got Aristotle. Don't know a thing about philosophy - am I possessed?

 

Don't worry it went ok, not amazing but not terrible.

For the predicate logic translations I knew i couldn't do them it was something like. For all just aggressive wars, and it's like a 3 place thingy I couldn't do it. so I made it easier so my truth tree etc was easier to do, as she said she'd give us full marks for the trees if we got the translation wrong, but the truth tree right for the wrong translation.

We were using Logic: An Introduction by Greg Restall. But now this semester is over we're moving onto philosophy of language, so no more logic for this year. Thanks for the offer though I really appreciate it.

I think next year there is a module for literary theory and extended logic but im not 100% sure.

 

I had a nap earlier and dreamt i was beaten to death by cardiff fans after dancing in the street when we beat them in the playoff final singing "tommy is a hornet" after he deliberately missed a pen in the 93rd minute.

 

Worth it.

 

I would sacrifice simms just to see that.

 

Totally worth it! Dancing down the high street in a watford shirt mugging off angry locals! Priceless!

"Small club near Swansea! You're just a small club near Swansea!"

 

Excellent. Do you know what texts you're studying yet?

And that sounds good and fair re the truth trees, etc. I'm sure you'll have done alright.

 

Erm not yet but instead of an anthology we have to buy a book of photocopies from the uni book shop, so i'll have a full list tomorrow when i buy it. £17.50 for photocopies though which is annoying. The first one is Frege about sense and meaning i think.

 

That's annoying that it's so much, and you can't find a cheaper option elsewhere. Sense and reference (sinn & bedeutung (sp?)). That'll be the Frege angle to philosophy of language you'll study. I find it all very interesting. Can there be sense without reference. Reference is the object to which a word refers (broadly speaking), and sense (again, very broadly speqaking) can be understood as the route taken to the referent. Imagined objects and concepts and so on fitting into this system requires a bit of brain power, and then you can question the whole framework. I wish I had found the Frege-Geach problem earlier in my time studying philosophy, as it's quite an interesting problem, kind of based around the tiniest tweak - and this type of problem is the best kind in my opinion. Let me know how it goes, and if you want to discuss some stuff to do with language, PM me - it'd be good to get my brain working again reading philosophy of language.

 

I just paid $140 to access an online text for one of my History classes. I took a class with the same professor last semester and had to pay the same to access it then.

 

I took that test. I'm Zeno of Citium.

 

Simms -Do you want some advice/words of wisdom? We can solve this problem you have quite quickly if you're willing to follow my advice...

 

Good on you for volunteering :sign15: :naughty:

 

I'm not sure what you mean? Do you have a mustache?

 

Only downstairs.

 

I was thinking everybody pitch in for a hooker

 

Hookers are too mainstream for Simms.

 

Lads from another block egged our windows, imaginative I know, so we did this


One argos catalogue holds over 1700 pages, that is 9 catalogues individually screwed up...

They are apparently going to tie all our door handles together when we're asleep so we can't get out, we have a couple ideas how we can get them back after that, any other suggestions

 

I hope that was all recycled, that's all I can say!

 

We made a slip and slide last year, was fun to be fair, that and making a ping pong table out of beer cans....

Last year a few of:

Mates door handle broke so we took it, hid it, and froze it in water.
Coming across some asbestos tape and taping up his door causing massive problems for him to get in
Spreading coco pops all over the other flats floor, so when they inevitably step on it it's a massive pain in the arse.
Wetting paper towels and throwing them at a flats window when snowing so they froze in the morning
Stealing someone's mattress and hiding it in the middle courtyard which had no doors to get into it from just windows.

Nothing major, just few bits and pieces. I miss halls....

 

I like the coco pops one, we froze somebody's key as well...


I went away for a couple days and they broke into room, moved everything to my bathroom and froze all my socks. I have a lot of socks.

We're going to start putting pictures of Ainsley Harriott up around everyone's flat for no apparent reason, including our own just to see their reactions, crazy I know...

 

Haha, some lads did that to me at Uni. I had the last laugh. I superglued all their doors and windows shut, covered their halls with petrol and then lit a match. They didn't retaliate, because they were all dead.

Fun times!

 

The fire would melt the superglue allowing them to escape. Your story is flawed, Mr Moog.

 

Nothing like escaping into a raging inferno.
