And a rockclimber, i usually do a spot of that when i head up to scotland, pretty good fun.Anyway, yes i am in third year - i'm doing a masters so i have another year of student life to enjoy! unfortunately i do quite a lot of real world work at the same time, so never get a chance to be a proper student and spend all week in the pub Right, talking of work, better get back to it...
StarLost wrote:Ahhh, understanding dawns ... normally in North America when we speak of what year a student is in, the base assumption isthat he/she is an undergraduate (chasing that first baccalaureate). Masters and Ph.D candidates are regarded as graduatesand what year they are in in post-graduate studies is meaningless (due to the workload and advanced studies). And working inthe real? world, too, as opposed to being a TA (Tutorial Assistant). A tough row to hoe. My respects sir. Especially inyour field of study."Proper student and all week in the pub" ... reminds me of someone's first year at university and also the first year awayfrom the oldsters sphere of influence (and being 17 to boot) ... besides the pub is not really for drinking. It's the playingfield for "The Hunt" ....
Havn't heard of deVry university, is it based in Florida?
I've had to grind my edgesmyself over here because none of the manufacturers will put a proper combat edge on the instrument (first third from tip of blade razor sharp, middle third at half sharp for sliding opponents blade away, last third to hilt left dull for blocking blows). They normally grind their swords to a slicing sharpness from hilt to tip ... bloody butchers!
I can vaguely remember a debate about foils etc, freespace, y ou have a much bettr memory than I! And i'd still get you all with a foil, even if you came at me on a horse with a crossbow :pWell, maybe not then - but you know what i mean
