I think I am going slightly crazy at this stage.Are me byrno and bigjim the only people still in college or are there others sharing in our plight?

DirkVoodoo

I'm here for the entire summer

I'm not doing anything in UCD, but I'm in Glenomena studying. It's pretty dead around here. Plus, I'm not actually getting any work done.

Only two more months. Just two more months. I cannot wait until August. Roll on August.

I hate summer studying.

Vorsprung

Feeling your pain Elisa! Not even getting that much time to study, I'm in theatre all week, just got home and I'm wrecked.

Only a few more days now...

Sangre

Font22

They start the END of september. Why would you need to start studying now for subjects that you've ALREADY studied.

I've started studying for my entrance exams in late August. Constitutional law is a real bollocks.

Im looking at doing this too once im finished in ucd.Have you any idea, If i do the subjects like tort and constitutional law as electives in ucd during my degree and pass the exams am i exempt from doing the entrance exams or do they still have to be done?

Why is the library shut at the weekends and after 5.30 until July 1st?
I have books due back but I work Mon-Fri 9-5. So I'm currently gathering quite a large fine and I can't bring them back! Why haven't they got even one late night opening during their closed weeks?

Theres no way for me to bring them back (Takes an hour and a half to get to UCD) I can't take days off work, I only started there last week.

Argh.

Yup as a friend put it, I'm on a "governament sponsored work avoidance scheme" , but I still would like a holiday. My productivity has been approaching zero over the last 2 weeks. And whats up with the weather!!!

you could a) Phone up and get your books renewed
b) Go in and leave the books in the drop box
c) Phone them and tell a few porkies to get out of the loan
d) Sit drooling in the corner watching Big Brother

All good choices I think you'll agree...

Riamfada

personally id go all Die Hard 2 on the library and return those books... with a vengence

Seriously Hulla relax. From all the people I know who have sat them they're really not that hard, no worse then anything you've ever done before. I actually know one guy who started only 2/3 weeks before them and passed(although was an intense time for him). Hardest part is just exhaustion is sitting them all.

Although, all the depends if you're working or not.

p.s. font22, if you've done it for an exam (and not just lectures) it comes back so easily.

Riamfada

i did law but not the FEs. From what im told the enterance exams are simular to LLB exams. Then again I did drop out after 2nd year and it would take a trident weidling horned demon to lead me back down that path. Check one soul

Best of Luck

No good choices sadly.

Can't renew them, they're overdue. And the library was totally blocked off when I was there last weekend (the only time i can go) The tunnel and Library building were shut, lights off, no way in to leave them in the drop box. I'll have to try to get home before they shut at 5 to call them. Pain in my arse.
