I guess im just tired of everytihng. i just want to graduate become a CA and get on with life.

Just to get me a bit excited about uni... can u guys post ur funniest or the most memoriable timez. And btw does anyone here go to york university in Toronto?
Let's give you a summary of my previous week:
monday evening: spaghetti in a friends room with lots of beer, jenever and bad nineties music .
Tuesday evening: free beer as a gift from the praeses of our club
Wednesday evening: "Miami Vice", and then to the clubcafé where we met most of the other clubmembers and, yes, drank some beer.
Thursday evening: cantus in the city park. Flashlights, empty beer crates to sit on, full beer crates to drink out and songs like "what shall we do with the drunken sailor", "Loch Lomond", "Des försters töchterlein" and "Clementine".

Off course this are only the first weeks as later on assignments and tests are coming up, but it'll still be fun images/smilies/smile.gif

Oh, the occuring of the word "beer" in every single sentence of my previous post is, off course, completely accidental.

@ bone: that's quite true indeed images/smilies/smile.gif. But believe it or not, two members of our praesidium are studying medicine (and passed with "onderscheiding"), two other members are studying civil engineering (one of them is the praeses) and another one is studying psychology, and they all passed. Some of them had do redo some examinations in the summer holiday, however, but that's not too bad.

And as I told, it won't be like that for all the year, since the tests and assignments are coming up.

Some bastard has hacked into my paypal account and is spending hundreds of pounds images/smilies/cry.gif I filed a dispute but I can't see it getting sorted quickly. They decided to use my bank account instead of my parents which doesn't make sense as they have more money.

I don't either at the moment. I tried filing a dispute but it keeps deleting the transaction IDs. So now i'm emailing all the people orders were made with.

my biggest problem with paypal is that it offers no real sense of financial security its just a neccessary evil. If it was backed by the FDIC (or Euro equivalent) i'd feel a little better. Hope everything gets sorted out for you

I typically only keep a few cents in my paypal account. Hopefully by the time it would take them to withdraw money from my checking account onto my paypal account (3-5days) I would have noticed the hack.

One of the people the hacker bought stuff from gave me his email address images/smilies/biggrin.gif images/smilies/thumbsup.gif I'm so happy, I sent him an email (which may have contained some swearing)
It's definately him because it all matches up. Problem is though he has actually spent more than I have .

And he's cleary an idiot beacuse one of the items he bought he sent it to my address. images/smilies/bangin.gif

We're now talking well over £1000, I feel really sick at the moment.

Luckily i've now changed my password and dad said he'll phone my bank to try and stop any payments to paypal, also luckily it was my bank account with the least amount of money.

I asked him how could he take this amount of money from a 16 year old. First of all he claimed to not speak English, then swore at me.

There are lots of articles and programs already made for what people in the trade like to call "script kitties" he could've just read an article or d'loaded a program to steal her info, it seems like a pretty sloppy job using an email that can be traced back to him...responding to an email and sending a package to her address. it all sounds very amateurish (i read lotsa 2600)
