Like nursing, I think in a degree like your they make it extra hard the first year to weed out the weak links/pretenders.

I'm only in uni 6 hours a week this term. But I do have all but one deadline this term so there's loads to do. And I found out the date and time I'm doing my presentation at the end of the year which is really scary! I have to stand up and talk about my research for 15 minutes!!! Eek!

Snap...im a first year on biomedical degree n oooh do they love giving us tons of labs (15hrs a week!) Plus with formal reports, essays, lab files...it never ends. Not much time for partying :( oh well, think of by the end of 3rd year when we'll be graduating lol xXx

We call it college over here mostly :D

I have finals coming up and a million papers/ projects.

And I spent 3 1/2 hours editing video in the computer lab, and went back and did even more work. After being in class all day. Fun.

Tell me about it. Trust me to pick a topic that makes it even harder for me.

My essay was supposed to be in at 12 today - thank goodness I have a week's extension!

Spoons (sorry I don't know your name) I'm at Christ Church but wishing I'd gone to Kent - your library is huge! Ours is pitiful, and the online resources rarely work. Grrrrr!

I'm in the middle of running a research project which I have to write an 8000 word report on, and do a 15 minute presentation on. And I need to start my 4000 word essay about power and sex (all kinds of reading about S&M which is kinda fun). My tutor for that one though gets really uncomfortable talking about it which is kinda funny but makes me feel more awkward, like it's strange that I'm so comfortable talking about "whips and chains" as my tutor describes it. Lol!

Handed in an essay a couple of hours ago that was 500 words over the limit so I lied and made it only 250 above the limit (within 10%). Can I get in trouble for that? They didn't notice last time but I only took 100 words off last time. :S It was all so relevant though - I couldn't take anything else! And it was 6am when I finished and I just couldn't be bothered to think any more. Lol!

3rd year is lame. Too much like hard work. And it only gets worse from here - real life is approaching fast and I don't like it! Lol!

[Spoons]

yus kent is awesome.
although i may go to christchurch to do my masters if i do social work, but that wont be yet.

yes our library is massive but its not that great, its packed full of out of date irrelevant books and there are never enough of the book that are needed. Inquire the student newspaper had a massive bit slagging it off.

[sobriquet]

Christchurch is a nice campus - small and stuff, which makes it much harder to get lost. Lol!
Am considering applying to do my doctorate here but I might look elsewhere. I'm not sure this library could handle a doctorate! Lol!

[Spoons]

haha maybe not :p

i might head up north for my next lot of studying. ive done the south.

[sobriquet]

I was thinking of going somewhere further away but I have an awful habit of picking up other accents really quickly. But I'm awful at accents so everyone thinks I'm taking the mick! My parents call it Wandering Accent Syndrome. Lol!
