Yea, you guessed it - i forgot.

As some TGRAD's may know im a University student currently on my 8th semester my, intern semester - so im basicly out of touch with anything going on at the university because of my 50 hour workweek, instead of the normal 10 :P.

So yesterday I was contacted by a good friend and former study partner, and the conversation with her goes something like this:

A) Hey
B) Hi
A) So.. how was your report, any good?
B) what report?
A) you know, the report about our internship semester
B) .....
A) come on - thats not funny. It can't be that bad
B) so this report that you speak of that counts for 30 of this semesters 30 ECTS points, we should have turned that in already?
A) thats not even funny Belid (no, thats not my real name, but you get the point)
B) When are the exams
A) next week
B) And im guessing we had to sign up in march right?
A) yea, you did that, right?
B) ..........
A) Belid...
B) I'll start writing the letter requesting dispensation

Phew.... When I first read this thread my stomach bunched up even though I've been out of uni for a decade now... Glad to hear it seems to be turning out fine.
