How'd you find it? I was chuffed the orders came up and I did wall painting but now I'm thinking I should have done the Vase Painting. Ah well too late now! It was a lovely paper.
Stupid finals have me stressed out!

I've got Strategy and Public International Law tomorrow.....

I swear to god, strategy is about twice the size of the biggest course I had previously ever done....there's no possible way to hold that much information in your head!

Fúcked doesn't even begin to describe it.....

Relax, TheVan. It's not that bad. I've just typed up some chapter summaries there. Fair enough, it comes to 70 pages, but sure, it's all easy stuff.

You'll be grand. I know you will.

It's the rest of us who're fucked.

The magic number, kids. If you put yourself in a position where you need to cut down on sleep, bear in mind that human sleep works in four-hour cycles and you'll last longer throughout the following day if you take four hours' kip and don't break into a second sleep cycle which takes ages - if at all - to break out of.

That said, I've always found that you're better being in good physical shape going into an exam than losing a couple of hours taking stuff in.

Anything to back that up?
Not being argumentative, I've also heard that it's 3-hour cycles, so I don't know which is right.:)

i get paranoid about sleep before exams and usually worry if i get less than seven i know its ridiculous and im losing out on valuable study time!

Ah don't worry about it, look at the bright side you'll never do it again, and believe me better to do it now than during an electrotherapy exam cause you'd loose serious marks then, possible a fail. You'll only loose a couple of marks for doing it yesterday.

Ballerina

yea guess you're right

argh boards always seems that little bit EXTRA intersting when you're supposed to be studying!!so many threads that you normally wouldnt glance at lure you in!

Just had Strat fingers still burning from writing so fast 4 Essay quesitions in 3 hours is too much and subjects are so broad its unreal. Should have been 3 questions to make it more

Bring on Corporate governance

I had the double header of Strategy and ECHR Law today. My hand feels like the 46a drove over it. Oh well, at least I get the respite of another exam tomorrow - allbeit not the most challenging one ever!

Cannibal Ox

Is anyone here doing analysing politics by any chance? I'm totally lost on what i should be studying for it, and I've got no idea what the papers going to be like.

Oh yeah, did anyone else notice the cars with the Fine Gael flags flying outside of the RDS Pavillion today? What's the bets every party will have a car representitive down there by friday?

And good luck

there'll be two questions on what is political science [kkv and stuff]
a question/2 on comparative case study methodology,
rational choice
elite interviewing
the theorists - popper etc
and an 8th one i can't remember - not looking good!
and thats it as far as i can remember! answer two Qs outta those.
i'd recommend doing elite interviewing & one from what is political theory, they're the easiest two questions.
hope it helps
