The bástards managed to steal my bike last year but couldnt get the lock off properly and gave up and threw it into Bru na Grudan after bending the rim of the back tire into shíte

A good nights sleep is gonna help you a hell of a lot more than getting up at ridiculous-o-clock to study :P

It's at 9 so I plan on coming home afterwards and making up the rest of the hours so that should balance it out :P

I guess I just love sleep too much :P If I was really desperate before an exam at 9 I'd get up at 6, maybe 6.30 to study and absolutely no earlier.

For 9am and 12:30 exams, I sleep from 9pm to 12am the night before, then study from 12am until the exam, taking 20 minute power naps ever 3-4 hours.

You feel like death the evening after, but it's great if you work on crammed knowledge like I do.

No matter how hard I try, I can never understand people like you...

I set my alarm for every 5 consecutive minutes after when I want to wake up just in case I sleep in :P

You're better off tbh. It's a horrifically terrible way to approach exams. I just can never seem to get motivated to study until 24 hours before the exam, at which point panic sets in and my brain is like "K, I'm ready absorb now.".

Its also not a very good way to actually learn material. All you're doing is committing it to short term memory and shiz. But still, I cant say much since I leave all my study to study week and the days prior to the exam.

Yup. I literally can't remember any of the information I knew for the exam last Wednesday.

I think it had something to do with computers... :P

I'm watching youtube videos of Britains got Talent and the guilt I have is incredible haha! Cannot fail this exam :P

Chris Martin

Like a bit of Johnathon and Amanda(I think) singing Con Te Partiro..
Sickened they lost out to a dog >=[
Don't watch the show but like the decent acts that come along..
That shadow dance group from Greece(I think) are good as well.. These won it.
These are past years stuff..
Just some stuff for night ahead.. :P
Su Bo was good and I know I'm mixing up X Factor as well now but that Irish woman Mary Byrne, loved her audition.

All worth a watch.
Oh and the father son duo, Stavros Flatley I think.. :P

Awkward moment when you think sitting beside a Boardsie in the library... and they don't even realise and you're not sure...

Mmmm, This was possibly me. My neighbor was posting on boards today!


4 exams in the next 5 days. Gonna be intense but at least tommorows is mcqs!

Chris Martin

Charlotte that's it.. :P
Stab in the dark :P
Fantastic singing, loved the song to begin with and they were fantastic for their age. Even separately I'd say they'd have gone far.
Were very good together though, there seems to be at least one judgemental moment every season and they never learn.
Before J&C Simon said 'just when you think things can't get any worse.'
You think they'd learn to shut up like and postpone judgement.. :P
Now I think Simon's signed Jonathon, unsure about Charlotte but sickened they didn't win it in the end..
Hate dog tricks on the best of days so that irked me..

The amount of people on Sulis for my exam tomorrow is scaring me haha

Ha well..uh.. nice to have met you?

Looking at that post, I realise my sentence structure is getting worse and worse as I'm getting more and more tired. I really hope I'm not missing words like that in my exams... although it's very possible.

Any seats in the library? Kicked out of the computer labs in Kemmy again..

Why are they kicking people out?!

I found it really hard to concentrate on study for two of my exams 'cause the notes had grammar mistakes in them. And one set of notes was all PDF files so I couldn't just edit them like a PowerPoint, made it worse, far too distracting. :L

It's not even the grammar mistakes, it's the shorthand that nobody else understands. Added to the fact he doesn't have a notion about what he's talking about so whatever slides aren't contradicting each other (serious, 5 slides after eachother and all of them say the opposite thing about the same topic) are just plain wrong. The only thing that'll save us is the fact he took all of his material from one book (which, I've just lost 24% in a project because the book that he uses and told us to use in the guidelines, is "not scientific enough")... Ughhh.....

I usually just head to the foundation building and use the canteen once the building closes! Great peace and quiet, ever only a handful there.

It should be easy enough to get a seat in the library around 8:45 yeah?

A bad housemate is a really stressful thing. It's on par with exams :P

Four down one to go, the end is in sight! Co-op next semester so no more exams till next summer

Prepping for Erasmus exams...
Don't mislead yourself :P

Why are some people not able to be quiet in the library!

BrefSpill

Does anyone else find those supervising the exams rude and always talking to each other while an exam is on? It's really unfair. Happened me twice.

Complain either to one of the senior invigilators or to SAA, only way anything will get done!

Just in now and theres loads.

2 exams to go, lacking in motivation...

2 more to go *sigh* screwed for tomorrow's..

Anyway..anyone know what was going on yesterday evening at the first bus stop after the east gate? I passed there on a bus and there was an empty bus parked in the bus stop with an ambulance outside it and a garda van behind it. Just wondering what happened, it didn't look to be too serious at the time I passed it?

Also, whats the marquee on the green outside Plassey House for? I was thinking Party on the Plaza but that's another 2 weeks away..and the fact that that's not the plaza

Not sure exactly but passed it twice yesterday and there was a girl on the ground in front of the bus and a nurse in a car had pulled over and was looking at her with the bus driver and the gardas looking on which made it look like the girl had either collapsed and the bus driver found her or she got hit by the bus.

onethreefive

She was getting off the bus at that stop and she was on crutches and as far as I could see she fell off the step from the bus stop down to the road, I hope she was ok. The bus wasn't moving when she fell so it wasn't the bus but she was on crutches.

marno21

Any link to this?

Aw okay, hopefully it wasn't too serious for the poor girl.

That must've been it marno21, I passed there around 4:30 so that'd make sense.

Just realised I didn't read all the questions in today's exam properly and a question that I could of got an A1 in came up and I did a harder question instead

jamo2oo9

I've done sweet fúck all for my exam tomorrow and I am happily lying in my bed watching Breaking Bad.



Do I gave a fúck? Not a single one to be found

iLaura

Well, looks like I spoke too soon about getting school placement. I went into them yesterday because an email I had received was contradicting itself, so wanted to know what the story was. Ended up speaking to one of the placement officers, she was lovely. We went through the nearest towns etc., and I was able to add one additional town to the list. I was also given permission to contact a school to see if they would take me. Contacted that school, principal said they'd take me on no bother. Relayed this information back to the SP office. Received an email this morning saying that I can't actually be placed in that school until they contact the school in the additional town. FFS! -.-

What makes it worse is that 99% of people have been placed as of May 1st and I still don't know where I'm going.
