| What it really means | Burned by | Frequently Says | Try | |
| The ‘I'm seriously conscientious-er’ | You’re a caffeine-fuelled boffin. | Serious rejection – that one time. | “You’re so immature!” | Getting laid |
| The ‘Panicker’ | You're mildly neurotic | That time you got things badly wrong | “OMG – I haven’t read all 8 chapters for tomorrow’s seminar!!!” | Taking a chill-pill |
| The ‘I'm at uni to have a good time-er’ | You’re a lazy no-good waster who should have avoided getting into debt by omitting the whole uni experience | Lack of ambition and/or intelligence | “Screw this – I’m heading down the union!!” | Visiting the library / bribing or having sex with your lecturers |
| The ‘Dreamer’ | I’m hoping to stay in academia all my life | Real life | “I don’t see the need for practical contextualisation at all.” | Waking up and smelling the coffee |
| The ‘Chancer’ | You’ve lucked through everything so far in life and if it aint broke, don’t fix it. | Hard work | “I’m going to wing it in tomorrow’s seminar” | Actually working hard for once in your cheating life |
Somewhere between the chancer and the panicker..
ReplyDeleteand I teach undergrads FFS!
Some things never change..
Lost: bless you for your honesty! :p
ReplyDeleteYup, I oscillate between the chancer and the panicker myself. It's the only way to learn ;)
ReplyDeleteI was a panicker, definitely o.O
ReplyDeleteHmm.... None of these criteria fits me, really... But if I had to choose, it's be the panicker.
ReplyDeleteI take it you were The Dreamer, Michael? :P
Yeah, I think most people will be stuck somewhere between the chancer and the panicker.
ReplyDeletePooni, you sound like a panicky one! :p
And Andro, that's very mean...
