Hey, its nothing you said. Its just me having yet another emotional breakdown. I seem to be doing this a lot lately. 18 years of being told that one is fat and ugly will take a lot of beating, especially when I’m sat at work.
Huh? What? I’m sat in my office, on my own. It is Sunday evening after all. Everyone else has lives.
-
Damn coding. Anyway, people were talking about you there. Doesn’t that count as gossip?
-
No, I just meant to reassure you that you’re a lovely (as far as I can tell) and good looking (as far as I can see) girl, but couldn’t be bothered to type it out again…
{{{Angua}}} Yeah, school sucks. But it’s ok now? For instance, I was fat and uglyish at school, and still am, but now people seem to like me anyway, so I don’t care 
I don’t. I spent the whole afternoon trying to prove, or find a counterexample to, an extension of Ramsey’s theorem to uncountable sets, until I gave up, googled, and found a ridiculously easy counterexample. So I don’t even have anything to show for it. And Alex hasn’t emailed 
Hmm… Internet gossip. I think I’m officially a geek girl
Thank you. I’m glad at least someone thinks that. The girlfriend of a friend of mine thinks I’m a complete bitch, and spent Friday night giving me really dirty looks whenever I talked to her boyfriend. :rolleyes:
Yeah, I suppose. I guess I’m just not feeling particularly responsive to feeling self confident at the moment.
I spent the morning and afternoon being taught about “multiple intelligence teaching approaches”, which was interesting, but further confirms, I think my total lack of social life.
Took you long enough to notice:)
Oh well, she’s probably right then; she probably knows you better than me.
Do you know if there’s a reason she thinks that?
Which is why you need people like me cheering you up.
What on earth does “multiple intelligence teaching approaches” mean?
Yeah, I tend to be totally oblivious to everything, including whether or not someone likes me!
Not that I can think of. He and I have always got on really well, and at one point (before he got together with her, but whilst I was still in my relationship) he told me, whilst we were both very drunk that he loved me. She was not there when this happened though. Perhaps it was his suggestion the other night that once Ramadhan is over, he ought to come over to my place and help me finish the bottle of Zubrowka sat in my freezer.
Yay! But… but… You’re a Trinity mathmo!!! 
well, they say that the best way to learn something is to teach it, so here goes
Apparantly we have 9 different types of intelligence:
emotional (but that’s a very large topic)
naturalistic (again a large topic)
spatial/visual (learns best from pictures/diagrams etc)
logical/mathematical (obvious methinks!)
lingustic (likes reading, word puzzles, learning new languages)
kinesthetic (movement, doing things)
musical (is always humming/drumming, learns best through music)
interpersonal (is outgoing, can empathise with others, a natural leader, others seek out their company)
intrapersonal (is more introverted, works well on their own, thinks about self, has lots of self confidence)
Now, everyone has all these intelligences, some are just stronger in some than others. My own strengths apparantly are logical/mathematical (thank goodness!), interpersonal and linguistic (in decreasing order). Now, we were being trained on how to use different activities, which utilise these different strengths (or intelligences) to teach more effectively. That is, we identify our classes “intelligences”, and then tailor our classes so that we maximse the learning potential.
Its American. But I can see it working.
I hate to be a killjoy, but could we at least try to keep this thread on track a little? I know it’s fun to hijack, but although I like you both very much, I’d rather not have to read through two pages of Cambridge/Astronomy/flirt chat to see if there’s any information regarding the actual dopefest. May I respectfully suggest you start another thread for that?
Well, yeah, that could be plenty enough. One person’s good friends is another’s affair in the making. Not that I’ve ever been in such a situation, but I can see it.
Yeah, makes sense. Thanks.
And? Isn’t it working?
Shade, yeah, its working.
Sorry Fran. I’ll shut up now. Seems to be the best thing for me to do. I’ll start a new thread if the hamsters are being responsive.
Perhaps we should even go over to NADS next time. I haven’t been for a while, but it’s an obvious place for cambridge threads and angua flirt fests
Fran: sorry. (I think the last relevant thing was Angua asking for a floor, and there’s been little else since the wonderful summary)
Ok - lets liven up NADS right now.
Whoops. Sorry. Don’t worry, you won’t find me posting anything non-relevant in here again.
Hey now! I resemble that remark! (“It’s American, but I see it working”?)
Story of my damn life; stuck wth a bunch of furriners complaining about how much America sucks. That’s what I get for being a xenophile linguist.
Sorry. I didn’t mean it.
I know. Just busting your chops.
Fair enough. All the Americans I’ve met have been wonderful intelligent people.
I’d take Americans over Northerners any day of the week.
Angua - If you get stuck you’re more than welcome to the guest room at my parents (yeah - i’m still stuck there ) but it does mean a hop on the train back to Stevenage so if you get any other offers you may want to consider them first.
Thank you garius.
I am not going to rise to the bait however. There is a thread in NADS for that.
and Northerners might take people from Stevenage out. and i dont mean to the movies. could this thread be hijacked anymore? you should get a mod to retitle it the angua weblog thread or something.
christ. and thanks to everyone who didnt turn up on saturday. not all of us have e-mail at home or are at home on saturday afternoons when you cancel dopefests 2 hours before theyre supposed to kick off.
