There's also the fact that it's held after Christmas, exams are the last thing on your mind when you're digging into Christmas turkey or when you're getting shitfaced on NYE.

Exams are in like 2 weeks, I'm okay with this :cool:

I'm the complete opposite. Winter exams are so much more relaxed for me. I know there's that much more time to study so I get way better marks. Summer exams are nothing but stress filled migraine fests for me.

There's two weeks to these things. Even if you have six exams in a row starting Saturday week, that's still time to give more or less two days study to each exam. If you plan it right, the way things are spread out, you might get three days for each exam. That's an easy bunch of 2.1's. 1sts if you have a bit of luck with the questions. /opinion

I've never been in Mantra and after hearing those prices, I won't either. I wouldn't pay that in Temple Bar.

Picking assignments over NYE. I have reached a new low...

Mantra's high prices is the reason I prefer the Roost. That, and the Roost has a nightclub of its own.

Feeling so overwhelmed with these exams.. Thinking positively i've another day to finish all my notes and then 7 full days to learn the ****e out of them.

Bring me back to first year, everything was nicer there

I've noticed something. Many journal articles, and conference paper titles, have a bunch of words, then a colon, then another bunch of words.

"Blah Blah the Blah: A Blah Stupidy Study Ism"

Why do so many of them have colons? I'm beginning to think it's because they are often closely related to excrement, either in their content, or in how far the writers are up their own behinds.

Ah the joys of being a graduate...no exams, no essays, no theses. Bliss.
Sorry, just have to rub it in...

MCR baby seems to have a kindird spirit amungst us in the library today. I just had to sit through the black parade in its entiirety , cos some girl doesnt realise how loud her ipod seems to be playing it and that it can be heard halfway across the library :mad:

Though I did find myself dancing along at some bits and quietly reminicing my angry meloncolic teenage years. Oh those were the days....! :P

Would you not have gone over to her? I've done that plenty of times! Someone was listening to their iPod through "headphones" which weren't connected...they were mortified when I said it, but it had to be done!

I'm far too shy to do that unfortunately though I'd love to be able to.

Theres also the possibility that I was secretly enjoying the music as it was a good way to distract me from the monotony of study :pac:

It depends on the department. You don't get an official list of results for Jan exams. The History department for example posts them up in the department while the law dept... (I can't remember what they do but I'm pretty sure that its over moodle!)

am i right in thinking that parking won't be enforced tomorrow?
related question: does anyone know what you can do if you have to use a car other than the one registered on your permit? can you call up parking and let them know and be grand or is it more complicated?

You don't get your results officially until the summer all results for the year come out together. 99% of the time you will get them unofficially within the first three weeks back. When/if and how you get them is up to the department and lecturer.
