So between the four 9am starts I have, the 9am-2pm straight run of lectures I have on a Friday, the mountain of work piling up on my desk that I can't seem to make any headway into, virtually having no social life for the past three weeks, losing my phone on my first night back in Limerick followed by lectures from all my family about how generally I'm a bit of an idiot, the gutwrenching fear that I'm falling desperately far behind in every single one of my modules and other minor gripes, I think it's safe to say second year in UL has got off to a pretty ****ty start..

I know that feeling. It took up a whole lot of the first semester last year for me. Try not to feel pressured to HAVE to study every single day. If you can manage it at all, take a day off, do the stuff that you think you shouldn't be doing instead of study, and know that its ok, because the next day you're going to get X and Y done. Start small, tackle one module, and hopefully the sense of achievement will be some motivation to do some more
I managed to drag myself through the first semester, and found that settling down a bit earlier in the second semester made things much easier throughout. Sometimes the first semester can be heavy going so you're introduced straight away to what's expected of you.
And remember, its only September! I'm sure you're not the only one in your situation, theres a lot of time to make up for things before Christmas exams!0 -

Linux is for homeless people. :pac:
Windows has it's problems, but it's by far the best OS on the market. If worst came to worst, you could get a Windows XP laptop, XP was probably the best version they've made and should be cheap enough now that Windows 8 is in the pipeline.skyscraperblue wrote: »So much homework that I don't have time to study.
And my laptop now takes 25 minutes just to turn on.
Do a virus scan ASAP, uninstall some of the programs you don't use, do a disk defragmentation(Accessories, System Tools), check your temporary internet files folder which can get seriously clogged up with crap if you don't clear it out from time to time. That should get the laptop working much faster.QueenOfLeon wrote: »I know that feeling. It took up a whole lot of the first semester last year for me.

Thanks, I actually feel a little better. Managed to get up at 8am when I don't start till 1, so might make a bit of headway into the pile on my desk and head to the stables after lectures to celebrate the glorious man Arthur. 
I am appalled that the free service I am in no way obligated to use keeps making changes that mildly inconvenience me.
Appropriate?
