@bjb568 Exams around this period is normal in Belgium. But it makes sense that your exams are earlier because in the US, the school year starts early/mid-August, right? Here, the schools start the first of September, so it's not surprising that we end the school year later.

Q: How am I supposed to keep a toilet bowl clean without a toilet brush?

4:43 PM

@ShadowWizard Here you go:

I am used to cleaning the toilet bowl with a toilet brush after use. In several hotels that I stayed in Asia there was none. I don't suppose they expect me to call the room service every time I use the bathroom. How am I supposed to remove feces without a toilet brush? I wouldn't like to find a...

Is your university have supply system?

I mean arrear

I don't understand

you mean this?

Arrears

Arrears (or arrearage) is a legal term for the part of a debt that is overdue after missing one or more required payments. The amount of the arrears is the amount accrued from the date on which the first missed payment was due. The term is usually used in relation with periodically recurring payments such as rent, bills, royalties (or other contractual payments), and child support. Payment in arrear is a payment made after a service has been provided, as distinct from in advance, which are payments made at the start of a period. For instance, rent is usually paid in advance, but mortgages in arrears...

nothing. It is fun having backpapers

And what is the consequence of that?

Well, firstly, I'm not in university but still in high school, we don't have to write huge papers.

But then again I can't see how failing at a paper can be "fun" and have no negative consequences at all

try to take engineering in India. your entire life will be rotated 90 deg. :p

8:15 PM

I have no plans to study in India

So can you explain? :P

If you study engineering in India, all the seriousness you gave to your exams will be changed. you will check in the exam day morning only which paper I have today.

I am a front-end web developer. Still I didn't get my degree because of my backpapers. I don't have a plan to write it in the near future

Why would you even bother to do engineering studies if you won't take it seriously?

Sounds like a waste of time/money

@ProgramFOX before choosing that we will be very serious about our education. But if you choose it, after 2-3 months, everything will change.

But why?

Do people suddenly stop caring about their degree?

I don't think it is a waste of money/time. Still we have job opportunities even with backpapers. and also we can enjoy the 4 years as never before

@ProgramFOX It is issue with the system.

8:20 PM

Yeah but if you won't get the degree, you could as well not do the studies and everything would be the same in matter of job opportunities and you can just get a job immediately.

A student write an exam for 3 hours and the staff is allowed 2-4 minutes to valuate the paper. If you write a film story and filled 30-35 pages, you will pass. otherwise fail

Ah... so because the staff doesn't have the time for a serious review, the students don't have to take the paper too seriously?

thats it

I see.

Well, I'm definitely not going to study in India then :P

you can't enjoy the 4 year then as we did :p

8:25 PM

Are you just using those 4 years as sort of 'holidays' then because you barely have to do work?

@ProgramFOX we are not using. they are providing so. No strict or discipline. We can go to college at anytime even in noon. also we can leave the class at anytime even if a staff is taking classes. We don't care. If they do care, that too we don't care. Lol

I see

a nice chat with you brother. it's almost 2'O clock. I'm going to bed. I have to wake up at 5.30 in the morning. see you tomorrow

that's early :O

Good night!
