Education & Reference - 6 February 2007

My grandma lived from 1889 until 1979 in the North West (ie Wallasey, Wirral). She often used the word "Nuckin" as a term of endearment when talking to children. Does anybody know where this word comes from or what it actually means? I cant find it in any dictionaries so I am unsure of the spelling. Could it be a Cheshire word? I would love to know.

When you enroll for a PhD you usually get an asssistantship that covers your tuition and helps you get by. Now after you finish the actual courses the Universtiy should stop asking for the tuition fee. So what happens to the money you receive from your asssistantship? Are you entitled to receiving the money that was initially meant to cover tuition or does that sum just disappear in the subsequent semester? Please elaborate. I do not quite understand how this goes in practice.

I've noticed that in the past two years of highschool, I've become really sick and tired of school. I've started procrastinating, not really caring as much as I used to, and not trying to learn like I once did. It's gotten worse as time goes on, and now I barely do my homework anymore. I procrastinate and it just doesn't get done. I've been an A and B student all my life. Just the thought of doing homework and going to school makes me sick. I watch other people doing their homework in class and I think, "How can they stand to do that?" I know a lot of people don't like school and especially not homework, but this is a different kind of hate. It's like I'm sooooo tired and worn out I just feel like quitting altogether. I'm tired of not understanding things, of tests, of endless hours of homework, sitting in classes for hours when we don't do anything at all, stupid things we have to learn that we'll never use again in life, the years and years of school you have to go through. Help me!

There is a six-word novel that was written in the 1930's. Instead of revealing the story now and setting the bar, I'd like to see what other's are able to come up with first.

I'll post the pinnacle of all "six-word novels" in my additional details once answering seems to have ceased.
