Oh lord. I guess the only thing you can do is wait and see how it turns out :/ I’m sure they won’t mark it as a complete fail though?

It ‘s part of 15% seminar assessment of this module (so I’ll be marked on this and my responses to other people’s position papers every week). It won’t be a complete fail if I can somehow redeem myself, but it’s not an ideal start…

Well, that’s this year’s first marked assessment…

…how bad was it?

Weeeell… I’m not sure I answered the questions I was meant to … it was a “position paper” (I am currently sitting down because it’s easier to type, but I don’t think that’s what they wanted)  on two critical texts for seminar preparation which I had to upload and now everyone has to write a response  … It was on Henry IV, so I’d written this whole 500 word mini-essay on stuff I thought was interesting (how Hal was using Falstaff and his friends for his own means, etc…), drawing on the critical texts (So I drew a little house with butterflies … not really, but I might at least have gotten points for creativity)… in any case, I saw that everyone else was kinda rephrasing the essays, rather than using them as a starting point for something else. Basically I submitted utter rubbish 3 minutes before the deadline … I now have a 9am seminar and won’t be able to sleep because I’m so tense … (present and future… and the punning isn’t helping )

Reason #841 I need to fight J.R.R. Tolkien IMMEDIATELY

canolacrush

Okay, so, now that I’ve slept, I can now talk about the reason for my BURNING NEED TO FIGHT J.R.R. TOLKIEN PHYSICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY with considerably less drama than I would’ve otherwise expressed.

This all started just because I wanted to translate the word “net” (like a fishing net) into Elvish.  That’s all I wanted.  One small task.

Of course, I then immediately find out that, lo, there’s not just one Elvish.  There are multiple Elvish languages.  Ha ha ha, oh Tolkien, of course you’d do that.  You eccentric dead coot.  Thanks for making my task more difficult than necessary, but you know, whatever, that makes the world of middle earth more realistic and he seemed to really enjoy inventing languages, and why should I criticize a dead man for having fun with his world, yeah?

So while I’m attempting to navigate through this endless…WORDPILE of information on different Elvish languages and which one would be most appropriate for translating the word “net,” I of course discover there’s several other languages, which actually does not surprise me.  I mean, of course, it’s only natural that the different races would have different languages.  I can roll with that logic.

This is about where my willingness to go along with Tolkien’s antics starts to crumble.

Sooo, I thought I’d try a “free-to-play” hidden-object-game… little did I know you have to “refill your energy “ every time you finish a picture… in order to do this, there are several options :
1- not suck at the puzzles you have to solve to open a treasure chest which I think can contain energy ( I suck at puzzles, and I need energy to open the chest in the first place, soooo… )  
2- pay real money for virtual coins (which is not going to happen)
3- wait for the timer which gives me +1 every +/- 3 minutes, to run out … Ok, so, I’ve found that if I minimize and open the screen, the timer will skip approximately 20 seconds.
Now I’m just sat here minimizing and opening a game window with the only satisfaction being that I somehow tricked the game… not what I had in mind when I launched this abomination -_-

games is this the future ? is it the present ? WhyMakeThingsComplicated ? All I wanted was to click on pictures !
