Aargh exams!!
I've got 13th, 18th, 19th, 28th and 30th of May. Not as bad as last year, I guess, a bit more spread out. But Spoons, I agree, damn saturday exams!

I think my exams are on 15th, 18th and 20th May but there's still one more to find out about. My research project's due on 5th May though so I'll be focusing on that until it's handed in. Hopefully I'll get most of it done over Easter then I can start revising. Sigh. Not looking forward to exams, I tend to panic and my brain just goes blank. In 1st year I got no more than 20% in any exam! I didn't really revise though, got complacent once it had registered that 1st year doesn't count towards your grade and you only need 40% to pass. I ended up with 43, 43, 46 and 49 for my 1st year units so I put in almost exactly the right amount of effort. Lol!
Averaged 55 last year and need at last 65 to get onto the course I want so I need to do pretty well in everything this year. So much pressure! Lol!

I'm looking forwards to exams although mine aren't until June, we have a longer term here at Hull than most other universities.
Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money.
They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
i was going to go to hull but i thought it resembled a factory, much more green down here
course was ok though, but its really far away from where i live
I've completed two of my six essays, 3 days and 3 1/2 pieces of work to complete. I can do this, all it will take is being in the library constantly and perhaps one all nighter on the last night.
Heh, I really shouldn't have left it so late, but I seem to be doing better than my last deadline, so all is good. 12 hours working days here I come!

I've reached 3,200 words and finally have a kind of plan of where everything's going and how it's going to link. I was thinking of staying up and working through the night but I'm so tired - got kept awake by housemates and was up early. I need to do about 500 words a day for the next three days to get it finished, but every other essay I've done this year has been over the limit - had to cut nearly a whole essay's worth of words out of my last one! Think I'll have to start piecing all the bits together tomorrow, at the moment I have 9 different word documents, plus one with quotes in, plus a references document. If my laptop crashes I'm completely screwed! *saves everything to memory stick*

just to update, I've finished another essay, I am not going to work tonight until 12pm then go to bed, after which I have an alarm set for 7, this allows me to wake up, wash, eat, gather up some books and download some internet sources before getting to the library for 10am. At which point I will find a desk and work through until the essay I am currently on is complete, go and get lunch, and start the nest essay, work through until 6pm, go home, get dinner and relax, before resuming work from 8 until 12. Monday, I wake up at 7, same morning routine, go to the library and complete the essay which I'm starting tomorrow, lunch, start my dissertation proposal, keep working until 10.30pm (maybe have a dinner break in there) then go home, relax for an hour, then work through until morning. Submit work, go home, sleep. That's right, I'll have done six essays in 5 days, and the scary thing is, I think the three I've written so far are brilliant. I also have to so an assessed presentation on Wednesday, but I've done the reading for it due to one of the essays I have already done. Everything is just fine....

Haven't done any work all year, a few exams and that's it.
I can't stand people who bitch about how much work they have to do.
If you know how to do the work, you have no excuse not to do it.
