The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Holy shit. I just realised that my computer is picking up radio signals in the air and outputting them faintly through my speakers. I didn't know that was possible. I thought I was going fucking crazy when I was hearing shit without anything playing on my computer.
 
Episteme is lying. He doesn't have schoolwork or band stuff. He's just locked in his room being fed kimchi intravenously playing Starcraft.

I am probably going to buy Starcraft when it comes out (ironically the release date is on my boyfriend's birthday, the day before I head back to the States so I'll have to wait)

Thus, if there are more than two of them a year they can't be semester. Not sure if you were being sarcastic there or didn't get my sarcasm or what, but that was my point.

Australia
Main article: Education in Australia

In most of Australia, the school year lasts from late January to early December, and is split into four terms:

* Term 1 starts in late January or early February and ends one or two weeks before Easter
* Term 2 starts one or two weeks after Easter and ends in late June.
* Term 3 starts in mid-July and ends mid-September.
* Term 4 starts in early October and ends mid-December.

The exact dates vary from year to year, as well as between states, and for public and private school. In Tasmania, the school year is split in to three terms, the first one being the longest and including an extended Easter holiday. The following is a link with details on Australian term dates for 2008.

Australian universities have two semesters a year, between February and November. Many universities offer an optional short summer semester. One recent innovation in Australian higher education has been the establishment of the fully distance / online Open Universities Australia (formerly Open Learning Australia) that offers continuous study opportunities of individual units of study (what are called courses in North America) that can lead to full degree qualifications. Open Universities Australia operates four 13-week study periods each year. Since students study only part-time and off campus these study periods mesh reasonably easily with existing university offerings based on semesters. In some cases a "Semester" is referred to as a "Study Period", for example, by Centerlink.[citation needed]

:lol:

We have 2 semesters through out the year for university. From the start of March to the end of June and from the start of August to the start of December. We usually have tests/exams in the middle of these semesters.

Some areas of study have trimesters.
Do you guys have a quarterly system going for college?

I have my semester exams in 4 weeks, and I still have more assignments to finish. :(

@Krampus, I suck too much at Starcraft to be Korean.
 
My girlfriend's roommate, also one of my good friends has been playing the game non-stop. He's pretty good at the game but he hasn't been doing his assignments, which sucks because he's in a group with me. I'm going to bug him to get off his arse to finish his work...

I was told you can't suck at Starcraft. I have been lied to. I'm pretty bad at video games in general (except MarioKart 64).

lolwut? It's very easy to suck at Starcraft. I haven't played the new one but I've had many o' LAN sessions with friends who had a 4 month jump on me. I learned very quickly that people who know what they're doing on that game will rape your face in a heartbeat.

Exactly, and the AI is pretty brutal as well. Can't say I beat the computer many times in custom games. I suck doubly against experienced human players(Terrans: Wraiths and Ghost Nuclear Missiles spam; Zerg: Zergling/Hydralisk rush, Protoss-Zealots/Dark Templar rush.:erk:
But whatever. It's still fun as hell.
