    I'll be getting the 7.30am 27X to the RDS for morning exams and either 27 and dart or 27 and 7 for the afternoon ones. I usually do the dart thing cos i like trains so it makes exams slightly more fun.
    *i'm lame*

    Dart for my weekday morning ones (I hate the dart).
    I'll be getting the 10 from college for the afternoon ones (the wlak from Donnybrook is nice and it clears my head).
    Double bussing it for my saturday mornings (same route I take to work so I know the scheduals well enough to leave myself the right ammount of time).

    Oh, I'm organised about one area of this whoile ordeal.

    Here's hoping they pass for attendance alone!

    Tomorrow i'll be getting the 27x direct and studying in RDS from 9ish-3ish (yeah.. i'm more likely to work than at home and my friend has an exam at that time). Later on I shall be journeying by anything to town followed by a 10/46A and a walk. Or if i haven't overused my UCD crashing privelages with a friend i'll probably be going from there for the last couple of exams as i like studying until the library closes and again in the morning...

    Reasons for having your exams in UCD include:

    Dyslexia
    Health problems - back ache and the like.


    Although, last year one guy had an epileptic fit in the middle of an exam. The poor guy!

    I'll be walking down to Harolds Cross from Rathfarnham and getting the 18 out. I only have one 9o'clock exam which suits my sleeping habits grand :cool:

    Ah all ye chaps are lazy.....

    In the libro for 9 to cram and stroll to the RDS in the afternoon. Stroll is probably the wrong word, anxious walking sums it up much better.

    Be careful getting the 18 though; it's not too bad going from Sandymount but going back it can be very hard to time. Just to warn ya if you're not used to it. Leave yourself time for error. :)

    Well most of my exams are in UCD anyway, thankfully! I have one in the RDS, it's my first time having one there since 1st year.

    Yeah. I'm aiming to be at the bus stop at least an hour before the exam starting time.
    During the christmas ones I did the same. One of the days the bus just didn't show. I got in at the exact time. But the panic of rushing isn't something I need on top of my limited knowledge of my course.
