I honestly thought I multiquoted posts to reply to.

Evidently I didn't.

With child molesters and people who talk at the opera?

There's a certain thrill that comes when a courier rings you to say they have a package, and you have no idea what it might be because you've made a couple of orders at the same time and thought everything had already been delivered... :pac:

I want to not be sober this evening. ;/

Nobody recognised that my post was a reference to the awesome Michael Fassbender in "Inglourious Basterds".

White wine does.

Tastes like petrol.

Well, it always looked like the stuff.



We're through the looking wine glass here, people.

Macavity.

Wouldn't be a wine person but if it's free at some do I'm at, then it's the white wine I'd go for. It's alright. Jim Beam Bourbon is king though.

Macavity.

Got 70cl Bourbon. I blame you all.

I thought it was a Firefly reference.

(I can't watch any Joss Whedon stuff anymore, it just makes me sad)

I've never seen Firefly, so that probably makes us even.

I used to get the wine at mass till we moved......

I looked forward to mass BECAUSE of the wine, every week without fail, that sh1t was delicious (it was red btw).....I was a 7 year old alcoholic :P The disappointment if we missed mass was crazy, I sometimes went twice just for the wine

And then we moved and no more wine

Ive had wine the odd time at mass since....its nowhere near as nice, in fact it sucks, it gosh darn awful!

Of course it was red. It's literally Jesus' blood like.

iamanengine

I don't know where I'm getting it from but that made me think of some skit where Jesus turns this guys blood into wine...and then he dies :P

Damn it, I can't remember where I seen that...probably a comic.

I stopped watching Greys Anatomy years ago when they started massacring the cast regularly for shock value (I only allow GOT have any more than one shocking death per season) but I heard about that and watched it and laaawd, I can see why everyone's pretty pissed off. :pac:

I actually have little respect now for Shonda. But Ya I found it shocking alright.

I know someone who has that exam (it's biochem, isn't it?) and she's pretty much as screwed as you say you are.

LoonyLovegood

I have exams in the morning. So I spent 45 minutes doing a full face of makeup, despite the fact that I'm not leaving the house any time soon. I am a fantastic human being.

Trying and failing to study immunology... There is such a volume of it

wnolan1992

Past papers are the cheat codes to doing well in college tbh. A lot of people tend to focus on the lecture slides, and completely forget what they were conditioned to do during the LC (i.e. memorise past paper answers).

We have one lecturer who's papers are always just a mashup of past paper questions.

LoonyLovegood

Not when your lecturer has just taken over the module and has totally changed the syllabus. *yells angrily at sky*

We had the same for a couple of lecturers. We couldn't believe that we basically got a couple of old exams to decide our final degree grades.

So yeah, study em!

Insect Overlord

I gave Irish grinds for a few years in my old college after I graduated, and even the brightest students were amazed when I showed them how useful previous papers can be. People really have no idea how to use libraries and local networks. Autonomous learning is a dying skill.

Past exam papers are definitely the way to go. The content of modules rarely changes so there is usually not much else they can examine apart from what's come up before.

Slow Show

It's policy not to release papers for my course, at least for most papers. We had one paper from a module last semester and literally half the real paper was a replica of the past paper. Also, some of the lecturers whose exams I'm sitting this semester have given sample questions and people in the year above have said that they repeat a huge volume of those questions in the actual exam. I'm not complaining at all, as I feel pretty guaranteed of a pass in all concerned modules as a result, it just all feels surprisingly easy! :eek:

I think a lot of UL students genuinely don't know that there is a gigantic repository of past papers available.

I was hoping you would cause I haven't a clue. Just typing without consideration.

a repository is like a storage thing.
a suppository is a medicine that you really don't wanna misread the directions for use.

Fúck starfish!

I take this back, its actually a lovely topic to study, however, turns out starfish are vicious predators and really heinous in how they devour food. They eat shellfish where they pry the shell open as best they can, expel their stomach into the mollusc and liquefy the mollusc alive with toxins, and digest the mollusc once it has been turned into broth from within the shell....Patrick is a little evil

Did I write this to solidify that in my mind, or to procrastinate.....the latter, always the latter.

I get more freaked out by the names of the recent visits.

If they're mods: Uh-oh, did a post I made in their forum raise a flag and they looked at my profile to get more info on me (mainly that's because that's what I do :P)

If they're regular plebs: What the hell is this creep doing?
