    I've just convinced myself that they just can't possibly get any higher at this point!

    It's the HPAT that will be the death of me I reckon..

    I hate Bishop. My question is on Shakespeare's sonnets, which I don't think is half bad. :)

    Yeah, it's definitely 3 for me. One seems alright with a bit of practice and two isn't too bad. But no section can be too bad when you're looking for 190+
    It's good to find another med head around here somewhere! :P No-one else is my year is looking to do it.

    If either of ye somehow end up doing it in NUIG, hopefully, HOPEFULLY, you'll see me there. Nice to see other people are worried about the HPAT. Section 3...ugh. Section 2 is wonderful though, and 1 has its moments. :p

    Gonna spend some time today filing away the piles of notes and hand outs that I've accumulated over 5th & 6th year so far into folders. Tedious, but gotta be done. :P

    THIS IS WHAT I DID TODAY. Weird. My folders look so big and orderly, I actually give off the impression of being a well-organised person, it's beautiful. Now I just need all that information to go into my head and life will be wonderful. :pac:

    I have been meaning to do this since August, but I keep putting it off. I have 3/4 of my subjects organised into separate folders but the thought of doing the rest is just too off-putting. Now all the notes I've gotten since September are just stuffed into one folder and they're not separated by subject so everytime I need a sheet for something or other I have to look through about 20 other pages it's driving me crazy, so glad I finally have enough time to do it.
    Also yesterday I did no study for the first time since September. It was delicious although I did try watching some French videos on youtube and became extremely appreciative of how slowly they speak in the french tape for the lc.
