so im sat here

Senior year of uni it was a good 24 hours. I was in one of the Pro Tools labs for the Computer Animation building finishing up the sound mix for one of my thesis projects. My friends were nice enough to sneak food and caffeine in for me. Then after that it was about 10 hours each day that week before the deadline. I'd only go out to take a shower at my friend's dorm and get food if I couldn't sneak it in the lab.

When I was in college I avoided the library like the plague. That's probably why I dropped out after a semester..

I do all my homework at home. I've only spent time in the library to dick around on the computers in between classes.

Jeez man, watch where you put that thing. Those computers are public.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I do what I want.

I never went to University. Waitakere College is a high school in NZ and I occasionally would spend a few hours studying with people there, but mostly I was training the other person rather than educating myself. It was a good way to revise, though, really, as it drummed things into my head when teaching someone else.

I've never failed an exam that counted, and that's mostly down to doing my work on time. Assignments are a different story - I hate assignments. I usually managed them on the last 2-3 nights by sitting on my computer at home, though, rather than in a library.

Does that mean BoB is the least educated person on the forum?

[Quindiana Jones]

Well, he's from New Zealand.

So yes.

I've spent about 36 hours in a library. It was mainly because I was stupid and left my assignment until the last moment.

And here I thought BoB was a stuffy, old codger.

I hate working in a library. Great for books and resources but I always preferred my own home. Sometimes I need silence other times I need noise and I go between the two rather quickly.

[Loony BoB]

I would answer this but unfortunately I did not take on "higher education" after finishing my time at high school and therefore I am unable to answer any question accurately.

As for Quin... OECD education rankings puts NZ 7th, Aussie 9th, USA 17th and UK... 25th. =o China (Shanghai), Korea, Finland, Hong Kong, Singapore and Canada top the list. Although that list is from 2010, I can't find the 2011 or 2012 listings on OECD (but then, half their pages are blocked at my work for some stupid reason).

[KentaRawr!]

Last quarter I would always stay in the library from when classes finish to when my bus would be nearing, so basically every day for 3 to 4 hours. That's the longest I've stuck in a library! :P

Loony BoB just in case you think I am actually insulting your intelligence: I think everyone is well aware that higher education does not equal intelligence levels!! Additionally, NZ's place as the superior nation is already confirmed through half a dozen different measurements, so no need to remind us! But life is our greatest teacher and because you are old, you have no doubt received more education than I!
