Yep, I remember having them in early June in 1st year, getting them on the 10th of June in my first 2nd year, getting them about a week later than that in 3rd year...

missing the rugby should be illegal.

So true. My lecturer was at the Munster-Leinster game, and he sympathised with me for missing the match when I asked him a question! Never thought of asking an invigilator the score though.

Meh, music and politics, I was so right to be scared going in. For the last 60-90 minutes, my concentrations was so fucked I could hardly think straight. I nearly mixed up Handel and Hadyn at one point. Thank God Richard's a nice marker, so I should pass.

Looking at a II.II in history though. Nowhere near good enough to get my masters.

Looking at flunking phliosophy thanks to an absloute disasted of a paper yesterday (I realised after reading the question that dispite being very interested in foucault I really don't undertand what he's on about). At this stage I don't even think nailing Logic on Tuesday or the fact that the department love me is going to get me the 40%.

The invigilator in the RDS announced the result of the game at the end of the evening exam on saturday. Grrrr! Some of us had taped it and didn't want to know!

Also 6th July for 2nd Arts? That'll be like a month to the repeats or something. Sounds late anyway.

Yup it's cs the exam baords are meeting late this year... I'm not sure but my instinct is to blame modularisation

Exams started a week later this year didn't they?

rainbow kirby

They started in May last year as well. The year before that they started around the 26th April-ish.

Jonny Arson

Dunno how exams results are out later this year when there is actually less to correct this year than last year.

AFAIK the Summer exams are scheduled to begin around mid-May for next year due to an extra week off during Christmas holidays.

an extra week off?
We had 6 weeks this year didnt we? 7 weeks next year so?

I was in that MER exam with drdre, Hulla, TheVan and besty... and was completely oblivious to any magpie. Shows how intently I was making up stuff about Pfefferism at the time.

I know I'm a bit late in with this, but I was away from anything even remotely like an internet connection for a bit there.

Anyway, BK-DzR and meowCat: http://www.irc.com.

Let's cut out the chat guys please. There'll be loads of time for that at the beers.

Just out of Data Structures and Algorithms 2... my hand hurts. Like a motherbitch. I just wrote 12 foolscap pages in less than 2 hours. And I don't do the whole essay-writing thing, so that's a LOT. Exam went pretty ok, he asked a LOT of in-depth stuff but luckily I'd got 3 questions pretty well prepared. Though I *did* have a bit of an *ohshit* moment with 20 minutes to go when I realised that I still hadn't started a third question It all worked out in the end though.

Red Alert

just had digital electronics. who kidnapped the QMcC minimization on q1? a full question on another bull**** topic also failed to materialise. still all in all tho seemed to sort itself otu.

drdre

LOL. Motherbitch. I love it.

Ugh, post-communist europe. I didn't so much as read my lecture notes (my procrastination skills know no bounds unfortunately :rolleyes:) and still managed to write nine solid pages on the collapse of socialist regimes in Central-East Europe. I have to have passed at the very least.

Given that I did no study whatsoever, I'm relatively pleased with myself.

singingstranger

Mmm, Freud and Dora. That's good waffling.

Ah but next year most people will be modula and have Christmas exams...

Just out of my oral - survived - think I did ok. Not sure though.

pretty*monster

Logic, absolute dream of a paper (bar on dodgy qurstion about hypothetical syllogisms at the end).

Finished!

I had christmas exams this year as well so nothing will change in that respect for me bar that i get an extra week off at christmas.

Thanks to Pythia for the link too btw.

19th Century Literature.

Not too happy with it but I got through it and hopefuly will manage to pass.

No more exams. No more UCD (hope!)

BKtje

grats Steph

Stepherunie

I only have 2 exams left

Hopefully have finished physiology forever - although the cal didn't go too well today....

elmyra

Whooo hoooo it's over!

A bit of a tough paper but given that I actually managed to study for this one, I got three full questions done (and left an hour early, but nobody need mention that ;-) ) I figured staying would just mean excess waffle.

Ah........summer
