    They started on Sat as the exams were close to Christmas so student wouldn't have exams on the 22nd. They normal start on a Monday.
    Relax you have 12 weeks until they start.

    relax? you'd want to start drawing up study plans now, if you haven't already started. Cyclically reviewing all previous material and putting some notes aside on key topics you will commit to short term memory closer to the exam.

    what exactly does a question mark followed by an exclamation point mean? Are you simultaneously shocked and appalled? Making social plans? No doubt you've got a high GPA ?!

    TBH I don't mind, I prefer it when the library is fairly empty like now. Two weeks around exams you'll have the fair weather visitors coming in making noise, making a mess, generally being a pest.

    Like the UL gym has a special high performance area, there should be a separate library for the high performance intellectual athletes.

    Such as yourself, I gather? :pac:

    Just joking, I agree with you actually. It's too much of a nuisance come exam time.
