    Studying in the 3rd year lab now - and I'm having one of those days when the entire internet is SO much more interesting than what I'm supposed to be studying.

    yo hull, not to worry about the exam. i'm trying to figure out which one it was that you had.........if u ace the 4 questions you'll do amazing (no doubt you will). dont be worried. i on the other thought i had things all set for equity and then when i try to recall any cases, rules etc i end up quoting employment law cases. whats the deal with that???? ugggggggghhhhhhhhhh i'm so scared.

    Radiography 3: External Examiner obviously got his grubby little hands on our paper and cut a question so instead of 7 to do 4 we had 6 to do 4 - as a result some people had a bit of maths panic.

    Other than that it was fine although two paeds questions and no angio was a bit mean.

    Aside:

    forgot to mention yesterday, when are they ever going to tell that guy to take the microphone out of his tonsils?? 3 years of the RDS and I've never understood a bloody word out of him.

    Or you could call them assessments. I once had a teacher who said we should look forward to them, though this was a man who told that to a class of repeat students before our 2nd LC.....:confused:

    Anyway, chill + if u need a de-stress massage, well I'm finished on Mon so ask me then ;)

    Oh yeah anyone down in the RDS today for the 3 o'clock exam session and hear Mr Head examiner guy being so cranky?

    And what's with the no highlighting the exam paper thing? I mean are they trying to kill me???? I like to highlight keywords in the questions and apparently if we did it our papers would be taken off us and we'd be thrown out.

    Probably something to stop cheating in MCQs, but they must be being all strict + banning them full stop. A bit needless given the amount of invigilators they have.

    Fantastico! I compacted down all my equity notes into one slim volume.

    Not fantastico: it's 25,000 words long. 70 pages of pure headache to keep me up all night.

    How the fnck is it already 21.50?

    XchampagneX, you have all of this to look forward to! I'm outta here in 5 months!

    Myself and Hullaballoo have already been in correspondance as to how collectively fooked we are for tomorrow. I will report back with the damage. Incidentally, if you look at the paper and get up and walk out without giving your details to anyone, does it go down as a fail? As you can see, I'm full of confidence for tomorrow...

    Why did i do a second year course with an exam? What was i thinking?!?
    Stupid modern architecture tommorrow and i still know next to nothing. I can't believe i had 2 weeks to study and did nothing. Argh....
    "Finals" make me sad.
    What happens if i fail a second year course when i'm in third year anyway?

    I don't think my exam could have gone worse than it did. I totally froze up, freaked out and it was a load of arse. The worst thing is it was actually a lovely paper and I know I could have gotten on really well if I hadn't balls it up so much.

    Exercise Science written paper was simple enough. A bit wierd thou, it was was very similar to our practical exam, so much so that one of the case scenarios was THE EXACT SAME as in our practical, save for the 19 year old female hockey player with a one-week old lateral ligament sprain, was now 20!

    Discrete Maths last night was very fair. Didn't do superbly, but I should've put some more effort into studying, rather the couple of hours before the exam...
    Happy enough though, as I got 81% in each of the 2 assignments, meaning I'm already on 32.4% out of 40%! Happy days

    Equity yesterday: Got seriously lucky with the topics that came up. Didn't do great but considering I was convinced I was going to fail it this time last night I can't complain.

    ** I just realised that I posted saying equity yesterday, IT WAS THIS MORNING! That goes to show what staying in college all day will do to you...**

    Equipment - despite one less question to be answered at the last minute was dodge out - weird question wording and far too little time to complete the exam everyone was really really writing to the very end and then some.

    Oh cool! That's great news!

    I had Financial Accounting 2 today... it was like pulling teeth but I got my hustle on and did it. Thank God for continuous assessment.. I had 23.2% before I went into the exam and I'd say that'll be just enough to help me pass. And then I will never do Accounting ever ever ever again. Ever.

    Did it, and I thought it was hard enough as well. I got my two questions done (republican freedom & hobbes's common power), but there wasn't much other choice. Cheers for pointing out the Power & Discourse papers btw, I was pretty lost without them.
