Taking a break from the study for today. Put myself under so much unnecessary pressure last week that i started to burn out....doing the whole all nighters and cramming that i didn't need to do. Going to bring the sister to the lough to feed the birds and then just chillax.

4 exams next week which will probably be the toughest of all my exams and the 4 the week after should be ok!

I thought you were doing away with all that cramming? Think you mentioned it on a thread. When's your next exam?

9.30 in the morning :pac:

Forgot about a whole section of the course that wasn't on blackboard but in my written notes. It bored me so much that i think i just had blanked it from memory

I don't want to be doing this but i know i have to if i want to pass...its my only 3 hour exam aswell so this going to be tough out.

Hope its going ok!?

Also, Reacher, what are you focusing on for History core (HI2001)?

I am thinking black death, slave trade, French revolution, in particular the terror, reformation, papal schism... Kind of stumped after that really? There is so much to cover for that exam, I am kind of dreading it really!

I've got the Black Death down. General topic of Napoleon's relations with Germany/revolution in Germany. Victorian Age in England as well. I probably should have more, will pick up a few bits and pieces. The above three have a good history of coming up though. I agree, there's a lot to get done!

C'mon Papa, slaughter that paper!

Yeah the papers can be quite repetitive which is good! I was looking at them again last night and I noticed that a question on frence terror has pretty much come up the exact same, like almost word for word for like the last four years or something nuts like that! I wonder what are the chances that they will do the same this year?

Did anyone see Declan Jordan from the Economics Department on the Frontline last night? He was my lecturer last year, great character!

I'm sure we all have great faith in Papa's ability to steadily gobble through his stash of chocolate and liquid stimulants...;)

Got to sleep at 5.30 and was back up at 6 but it was well worth it though. Actually felt pretty energetic this morning....probably from the fact i had about three weeks of recommended sugar levels in about three hours

I did but hopefully in a good way

And yes i am prone to the odd couple of bars and drinks in a sugar binge :pac:

Nova_era

See, my favorite drink is Lucozade, but I think that due to the hugh amount I consume, the "energy" aspect doesn't really do much to me anymore..

So I've moved onto cans of Monster, they're my new exam "energy" drinks. :P
