    Classical music

    in Music

    Posted · Edited by azlan

    I like a bit of classical music, in particular, I am a fan of quite a lot of romantic era compositions, as well we modern orchestral style music (especially film scores by people like Howard Shore, Jon Barry etc..)

    LEGO!

    I used to have loads of lego stuff too, but was never any good at putting together the models as they were described, my cousin always used to have to help me put the complicated kits together, but as my mum was a child minder, we had a huge box full of random bricks and figures etc, and used to have hours of fun building my own creations with it (not to mention, an endless supply of terrain for when I started to play warhammer), but when she stopped childminding, my mum gave it all away :(

    Dubstep

    fair enough, like I said, I don't like being a killjoy or anything, but a lot of people don't realize how little volume can damage your hearing (unfortunately, I spent a very depressing evening having to research the noise at work legislation in the UK the other day, and the numbers are much lower than anything I originally thought)

    Skrillex pwns all, i have probably killed my ears bc i listen to dubstep full vol through headphones for at least 1.5 hrs a day.

     

    I'm going to sound like a massive killjoy right now, but you seriously don't want to be blasting music out on headphones for extended periods, it's *so* easy to damage your ears permanently by doing it, I work in live music and am all too aware of the damage that even 'moderately' loud music can do to your hearing, and give it 20 years, are you really going to be prepared to live with permanent tinitus (an utterly horrible condition, speaking as someone that had it on-and-off for 2 years) or deafness?

     

    I like loud music as much as anyone else, but you do need to be careful, especially when listening on headphones, or out at a music venue etc.. to make sure you protect your ears...

    Dubstep

    A bit of dubstep here and there is fine, we have been getting more and more played at the venue I tech at, some of it is really quite good (and nero played at our summer ball last year, I only heard the soundchecks, but it sounded amazing, and people said it was mind blowing), but a lot of the stuff I've heard basically seems to be 'lets see how many drops we can squeeze into a song' which gets kinda boring after a while

    GCSE Maths

    its also worth finding out which exam board the school you are teaching at uses, as they tend to have slightly different curriculum from board to board, although the differences should be minimal, and from what I remember, the CGP books cover all the boards, and tell you if a topic only applies to individual ones :)

    Eating Habits in College

    in Food & Health

    Posted

    My eating habits at uni are awful to be honest, I don't usually eat breakfast, sometimes have a sandwich for lunch, then have dinner, and then depending on if I'm at work or not of an evening, either get a takeaway (usually Chineese) whilst at work, or phone for pizza after depending on if we have had a long shift and we all get food or not, or if I have the night off, then I tend to make myself noodles or spaghetti or something like that at 10 or 11, and if I'm going out, will usually get some kind of fast food at the end of the night, as well as takeaway in lieu of dinner at least twice a week.

     

    It's a mix of my slightly dodgy metabolism, expensive food on campus, and the strange sleeping pattern that work forces on me (there's no point in having dinner at 6pm if you are going to be at work until 4 in the morning as you will be starving by the time you finish anyway, and due to the resulting late starts, my body isn't used to dealing with food before 11ish in the mornings)
