    So... who out there is having them or other wobblies because they

    A) Haven't studied?

    B) Have too many essays/assignments and not enough time to complete them?

    C) Insert own catagory.

    First Years! Never an issue when it comes to exams or essays.


    Write a paragraph on the French Revolution? Or The Hard one, Account for Rising Sea Levels in prehistoric europe? :D


    Yeah, Im goin back to bed:cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer


    Yeah...
    Cold sweats, the shakes, inability to sleep at night, inability to get up in the morn, knots in stomach, butterflies in stomach, an entire flourishing ecosystem in stomach, empty stomach... Sorry what was I on about?
    Oh yes - nervous tension, anxiety...

    For Larien this fear makes her study harder.

    For me, it just makes me want to crawl under my bed and hope that everything will just magically work itself out.

    Could happen.

    Well....I have a theory that for English all you really need to do is know what happened in the course texts and then you can somehow apply it to the question....unfortunately I didn't really go to lectures in the first semester....ever....so I'm screwed anyway.

    History.....I actually just can't talk about it. So dead it's not even funny.

    If I actually had all the notes I think six weeks is plenty of time to learn them, but I was a bit lazy before Christmas so I have about six sheets of paper for an entire semester of lectures.

    Hands up who'll be seeing me around August then?

    Coffee is good, low continuous doses are excellent for keeping one alert during study. But not 4 hours before you go to bed. The beer wont help unless its as a reward for something. Hard week's study etc.

    I did not kneecap you too, did I? I have a very hazy memory of a smoking Smith and Wesson... oh! No! That was another night...

    I'm trying to write an essay at the moment but Boards keeps calling to me... Peachy!! Ban me for a week!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,755 ✭✭✭elmyra


    Nope, you didn't! I was just standing for ages and ages and ages in heels. Seb did say I had nice feet when I took my shoes off though...I'm very proud of that. I hate feet....except my own...I have a phobia.

    Essay= meh. I have a 3,000 worder due on tuesday. Current word count- 67!

    I have only read and understand 20 pages of my Quantatative economics book and have not glanced at psycology.

    You're still drunk... I hope!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    Elmyra, english is as follows: First year - "know" one text per question you have to answer.
    Second year - "know" two texts per question you have to answer.
    Third year - "know" four texts per question you have to answer.

    By "know" I mean be able to bullsh!t convincingly. Besides, it's not like you're in final year, all you need is 40%, unless you want to go straight into a H.Dip, because that's based on your second year exam results (your 3rd year ones won't have come through on time).

    Firespinner - stop showing off. Besides, it's not about knowing the book, it's about knowing the questions and being able to answer what comes up. All that excess knowledge will damage your brain.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,755 ✭✭✭elmyra


    Thanks Blush, I think I can manage that, though the thing is I 'may' want to go straight into a H. Dip.

    I think English will be okay though. It's history that's majorly problematic!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,051 ✭✭✭BKtje


    Nope, you didn't! I was just standing for ages and ages and ages in heels.
    We did say to take of your shoes. However in your defence that ground was bloody freezing :eek:
    I have a phobia.

    You have a phobia? ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,755 ✭✭✭elmyra


    Come on....I did try it before I knocked it.....hehe I then I got you to take yours off....man I'm such a trendsetter. Ground was freezing though!!

    Yeah yeah I'm a phobia-filled freak. Those are the only 3 though, and at least they're original!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭tintinr35
