Fresh box of teabags gracing me with their presence this evening. Wild side or what?!

Have about 300 here. Got in supplies forgetting I already got some during the week.

Ah yeah Grem, bites have gone down, and got a decent enough sleep.

Hey Teddy

Lithium93_

This weeks going to be busy, last week of lectures, and stuff to finish off hand in..

Ted_YNWA

You have much more work to do on them before handing them in?

If you need someone to crack the whip to get you to knuckle down, myself & Seph can arrange a timetable.

Gremlinertia

Oh good stuff Links.
No such thing as too many Ted

Just a few bits and pieces, nothing too massive..

If I need motivation, sure as hell won't be from you two Scouse supporters :P

Not to try and belittle your problems but it's only 1st year. Don't get me wrong, it's still important you get all the work done and pass the exams BUT just be thankful you're not one of my best mates. He's in his final year and he pretty much had a breakdown last week and nearly had another one last night. Poor ****er has a tonne and I mean a tonne of work to get through before the end of the month. And to top it all off he's had a bereavement in his close family recently enough. I don't know how he's going to cope

Yeah but with the price for repeating a failed exam gone up to €295, I wanna make sure everything's on the pass mark or above, and pass all the exams, don't want to go back in August to redo any failed ones..

You're friend has been dealt a bad hand to state the obvious..

Gremlinertia

Yikes that's a bad time for your friend Mozz.. Have they asked about deferral on compassionate grounds or some form of leeway?.
It costs what to repeat Lith :eek:

Where the hell are you going to college man? :eek: That doesn't sound right at all. Last year it was only about €100 to €120 to repeat an exam. That was in Tralee IT though. Think it's gone up to about €140 now, think it's about the same in my sisters college too . That's an extortionate amount of money..

He has and was granted an extension to the third of May on one of his assignments but it's a no go on the rest of his course. One lecture in particular took the head off of him and told him to pretty much "deal with it". I really don't understand how lecturers can be absolute tools like that. I mean they of all people should know what it's like to be a student yet there's ass hats out there that make it way too hard for some..

N.U.I.G, Think it vary's from university to university, and yeah it is extortionate.. Some lecturers are C U Next Tuesdays, others can be great and helpful, you're friend has the former..

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh Grem! Don't let anyone know that I am hiding behind the curtains! :eek:

At almost 2PM Pacific, blue sky, white poofy clouds, 20 temp with 19 km/h gusts, so not bikini weather, but shorts and a T would work just fine.
