Had to repeat the "Ps make degrees" mantra as I submitted an under-worked & under-word-count assignment. A day late rather than a week, though. Learning to be pragmatic. #uni
-
Have three assignments due over the next week, and a cold. My head hurts, my throat hurts, my eyes hurt. I am such a wuss. #uni
-
Preparing my reflective essay on what I've learned from Foucault. Is "vain, vacuous, witless slaphead" a bit harsh? Also, glass houses and pot/kettle. #uni
-
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than to try to do a literature review with a 500-word limit. #uni
-
Spent almost the whole day on a "participation blog" post that nobody will read. Good use of my time. #uni
-
Got a unit that's all group work. Via #Blackboard BBS. How does one get over the "there's no way this won't suck" hurdle? #uni
-
"Because this is a second year unit, I'm not expecting you to go off and do original research." Good grief. When does the spoon-feeding stop, then? #uni
-
Just enjoyed the standard "Hi, I'm your tutor. I have nothing to say to you, but I'm supposed to call anyway." phone call. Never gets old. #uni
-
Okay, #Blackboard Collaborate's crashed on me. Small mercies. #uni
-
Second #Blackboard Collaborate session of the day. Oh lor', this is painful. #uni
-
Made it into #uni today. I left the house! No juvenile delinquent ransacked it in my absence! The year is already proceeding better than expected. From here on, anything else is icing on the cake.

Yay for Yanis Varoufakis, formerly of #Sydney #Uni, and now the Greek minister of finance. http://www.channel4.com/news/we-are-going-to-destroy-the-greek-oligarchy-system #economics
-
Fed up with #uni. Not entirely clear who benefits from me sitting alone in front of the computer for weeks on end, writing wholly unsatisfying essays for a maximum audience of two people.
-
Got to the end of the research rabbit hole. Now have an essay due tomorrow and a lot of academic rabbit poop. #uni
-
Bored stupid. Think I might go into #uni tomorrow. Things always look better from within grim, institutional architecture in the middle of a swamp.
-
Last day to withdraw from #uni on Monday, so I considered my other options. To #work in a mail room now, you need a Cert IV in Business Administration. #credentialism
-
Woo-hoo! Gnibi college took pity on me and allowed late submission, so I passed another unit! Thanks Uncle Norm! (no relation) #uni
-
Posting my work from last term to my blog, in the hope that I will be censured by the #uni "academic integrity" goons for willfully sharing knowledge. Here's the first bit: http://mjd.id.au/node/55352

Yay for green open access. When my #uni journal access expires, I'll still have ssrn.com. http://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/blog/2013/oct/21/open-access-myths-peter-suber-harvard
-
Woohoo! Last assignment submitted (a week late, but I only need a few marks to scrape by with a pass and avoid a re-do). Looks like I actually completed a few units! #uni
-
@cdbragg That's next on my #todo list, before #Blackboard locks me out of my past work. #uni
-
Got straight high distinctions on my #Philosophy essays this term. #Uni top tip: do introductory units in subjects you've already been studying for 20 years.
-
Spent the last couple of weeks half-heartedly defending 18th century liberalism against 21st century neoliberalism. Have just remembered I was a socialist before going to #uni and being swept up in the clash of conservatisms.
-
One more essay down, only a single stupid assignment left to go. It's due today and I haven't started, but I'm still doing better than last term. #uni
