I have absolutely zero motivation to do my assignments. Crap crap crap :wall:

Does anyone here use Illustrator? If so, anyone know of any good guides or tutorials? :P I'm pretty experienced with Photoshop but I'm starting to mess around in Illustrator a bit and I'd like some good direction or something. I've managed to figure out some basic stuff but I still feel a little.. unsure about what I'm doing.

:mrgreen:

Ohmygod this. Swype is amazing.

The main reasons for masses would be to just have fun or maybe if you're new to boss hunting and want to get an idea of what it's like before you head off on your own or in a smaller group. I think the biggest split we've had in our TMHT masses was 350k for an ACP. It's definitely not a good way to make money.

Hey Bows :)

Week 56 - March 23, 2012 [hide] [/hide] Visit the Teaser Discussion Topic!

He seems like the kind of guy who might be a good friend but a crap boyfriend. I don't fully understand the situation but he clearly has some ongoing thing with this girl, yet he's badmouthing her? He's also not in a serious or exclusive relationship. He could be a nice friend and a fun guy to hang out with, but just look at how he's treating his current relationship(s). He's clearly not very dedicated to them and possibly just not that interested in pursuing something serious. So I'd let this one go. If you did go after him, you probably wouldn't get an exclusive relationship and I personally wouldn't be interested in dating a guy who is still with a girl but is badmouthing her all the time.

Hi there! :) Welcome back to Tip.It! :thumbsup: Your username does sound familiar so I guess I've seen you around before.

Jelly of that 99 farming! :mrgreen: I think I can make it!

Honestly if that happens then the relationship wouldn't have worked out anyway, even if you tried to make sure she "doesn't forget you exist." If you do things to convince her she should be with you (like make sure she doesn't forget you exist), it might help in the short term but really you're just prolonging the inevitable.

Well it's hard to tell you what to do without knowing what will happen. How/if you should respond really depends on what she might say. There's a different answer for each scenario. Generally speaking, don't lie to her, but try not to appear too desperate or clingy. Don't randomly say something like, "I miss you so much, please come back to me, I feel like I could cry!" 1. You don't want to have to force her to come back. If you have to talk her into the relationship, it won't work. 2. She has to make the decision to come back to you on her own. You don't have to not tell her you miss her, but I'd only offer up that information if it comes up. Don't randomly text her "I miss you." Give her the space she wants. If she starts talking to you and asks you directly or if it's contextually relevant, then you can say you miss her.

I honestly hate these kind of mind games. True they work like a charm when you're first dating someone, looking for a not-so-serious relationship, or just hookups. But I really don't think they should be used or even necessary in a serious long term relationship. But I guess that just comes back to my own values. In a serious relationship I want honesty and truth - not those kind of mind games. I feel like after the initial attraction period, you should just be over them. The whole point behind that method is to get her to miss you and make her afraid of losing you. When the ball is in her court, it's easy for her to take her time and consider some time apart. She knows that you still want her and it's all up to her; she can do what she wants. But if you say you're having a great time without her, suddenly she'll start thinking that maybe you're not there waiting for her. Maybe if she spends too much time away she'll lose you forever. And if you make it obvious that you're busy and have a life outside of her, that makes you more attractive in her eyes. But in my opinion, that is not a long term solution. If she acts based on those feelings, it's a quick fix. Odds are she'll start having the same feelings again at some point. She's not going to be "coming to her senses" if you play that game. She's going to be scared into stopping the whole "space" stuff. If it's a serious relationship, you can't do that. You have to solve the underlying issues - not just push them aside. Otherwise they will resurface. You clearly love her a lot, so I know how difficult it would be for you to risk losing her by not playing that game. But the way I see it, you have two options: - Play the game and likely get her back. But eventually the issue will creep up again and next time it might be worse. - Give her the space and just be honest about everything. There is a chance she may want to break up with you. But if she realizes on her own that she was stupid and wants to come back, it will have been completely her decision without any help/games from you. If she decides it on her own, it's a lot more true and sincere. But it is important to realize that people do grow and change. They move on, they want new things, etc. I don't know if you know the specifics, but I feel like it would help to have more details on what exactly she's doing. What you said was pretty vague ("her life has changed a lot," "she was never really able to fully live her teenage years"). To me that suggests partying.. but I could be wrong. Knowing the specifics could help you realize what exactly she's looking for. If it's partying - she probably wants freedom and/or possibly another guy. That's honestly the only reason I can think of that she'd need space from you. If it was anything else, why couldn't you support her during her new adventures? The fact that she wants time away from you kind of suggests that she wants to see if there are other guys out there or she wants the freedom of being single. :(

People will love your accent :P There honestly aren't that many differences between UK and American universities. I attended an American university for two years and now I'm in my first year at a UK university. The only big difference I've noticed is when choosing courses (but I don't know how much - if at all - this will apply to a study abroad programme). In the UK, your courses are for the most part determined for you. You have a few options here and there, but for the bulk of your classes the university has a list of classes you HAVE to take for your specific degree. In the US things are a lot broader. They have requirements but they're in categories rather than certain classes. Example: In the UK every single class I'll be taking for my degree is set out for me. I have to take them, I have no choice. Eventually there will be two optional classes I can take if I want (or pick between the two). Since I have to take those classes, I'm automatically signed up. There's no fear that I won't complete my classes or I won't get enough credits or I won't get the classes I need. That's a HUGE problem in the United States. In the US I had to take a certain amount of classes related to my degree subject and then there were other requirements as well. I had to take at least two classes in the language department, at least two in the science department, at least two in the social department, etc. (just as examples). And as for my degree classes, let's say there were 30 different classes for my degree. I only had to take 10 but I could pick which 10 I wanted out of those 30. Whereas in the UK, there are 10 classes and I have to take those 10. (I completely made up those numbers, it's just to give you an example.) The other big difference is the curriculum structure. In the US, for each class we tend to have homework and multiple projects. My UK experience has been very different. We almost always just have ONE project or ONE exam that we're constantly working towards. We don't have homework or assignments due every day, we don't have one test every other week, etc. Other than that, everything is more or less the same. The social scene is very similar. The partying is very similar.

God I LOVE Rue!!! That's a good one :P

Lyra Belacqua from The Golden Compass. She's quite young but also so incredibly driven, smart, passionate, etc. Maybe I'll think of more later :P
