    I'm glad to say that they weren't as draconian as I had been led to believe. It was fine today, you could brings bags, coats, phones, etc and just leave them downstairs in the Schuman. Students Union are also doing a drop-off centre as said above.

    No need for me to be getting angry or anything :)

    They only had HB pencils I think. I didn't look long for it there.

    Try the bookshop in the courtyard. The spar in the courtyard doesn't sell any pencils whatsoever.

    What, may I ask, is the point of referencing within exams? Why do I have to waste time learning off random names and dates when I could be actually studying the information? How does referencing within exams facilitate learning of any kind? There is the answer to the question. Nobody gives a damn who came up with the answer or when. Similarly, here's the answer to another question. I came up with the answer based on the lecturers limited notes. I don't care if anyone else has said it or when they said it. Unless it's an open book exam, there shouldn't be time wasted learning off references and then time wasted putting in references in exams...

    What do you study ?
    That's simply 100% a waste of time.

    Equine. In fourth year too and it's the first time we've had to reference for what's essential been the same module since first year. The best part is, the lecturers of this module are also who didn't let us have a study week so we've only got two days to study for each exam... Their modules will be either taken up learning off random names and random dates to go with those names, or learning off the actual answers without the names. Can't have it both ways with the amount of time we've had to study. No sample papers either. Oddly enough, one of those lecturers is my supervisor, who I've grown to dislike an awful lot.

    Ah class!! That sorts me out! The essay I just submitted has to be the most stressful essay I ever wrote.:( I got a B3 for the last and I really need to come up there's no way in my final year I can be getting anything lower than a B1. If I do bad in this essay I don't know what I'll do!! I really want a 1.1 but that's looking less and less realistic.

    Also, I really need to stop stress eating. Weighed myself today and I'm up nearly 8 pounds :eek: Damage control needed!!:pac:

    I ate 6 (SIX) gingerbread whirls and about 15 cream crackers earlier while pacing around my room in a mild panic. :o

    It's okay guys, you need lots of sugar when you study, glucose is the only form of energy that the brain can use, so keep on eating :P

    :eek: That's crazy! Do you think it's done to stress or have you been eating/sleeping differently? It wouldn't surprise me how stress can make the body react. I really think the stress of final year has caused my skin to break out really bad and for my weight to go up. :(

    No idea, I've never put on weight before in my life. Always been a steady 8 and a half stone since I finished growing at 12 or 13 and that's with a massive appetite. Measured at week 4 and was the same. Measured on Wednesday and I was 10 stone on two weighing scales. Me thinks a trip to the doc is needed though. I don't mind the fact I put on weight, just the amount in the short time with relatively no changes bar stress levels.

    I don't even look much different except my hips slightly so I don't even know where it went to

    I'd be extremely similar to you. Despite my ferocious appetite that my family always makes fun of me for I barely ever go above 8 stone 4 pounds. I definitely think you should get that checked out just to put your mind at ease considering as you said it was a significant weight gain in a short period of time and you can't even see where the weight gain is. You would think that you would definitely notice weight gain like that. :) Love how everyone on the thread responded to my "eating too much crap post" with just how much crap there eating. I feel much better now!:D Definitely got to start eating less and doing more exercise once the exams end!:o

    I put up about 30lbs when doing my FYP! Thankfully, I've lost it now, but it's scary how easy it was!

    To the people living above me, can you please SHUT THE FÚCK UP -.- Just cause ye don't have an exam tomorrow doesnt mean the rest of us don't. I swear to god, they wreck my head with their obscene loudness 2-3 nights a week that goes on for all hours of the night. Ye're screaming and laughing is just delightful background noise to my studying -.-

    Should have checked this out earlier but have an exam in C1058 in the morning. I know its main building, after that no idea. Would It be past the red raisin or near the ski slopes?

    Its the corridor that you go through to get to Raisins if you're coming from the ski slopes entrance.

    Does anyone know if there's a queue outside the library before it opens this week?
