Above the main restaurant.

Ah naturally...and this 'main restaurant' would be where exactly?

And you're a UCC mod??! :pac:

I have such an intimate knowledge of UCC and its fine eateries that I know not to go anywhere near any of them.

Ah the main rest, the finest purveyors of haute-cuisine you'll find outside of Paris.
And here it is, in all it's rustic glory. Notice the elegant, beautifully designed Kane building looming over the horizon like a monolithic Godzilla.

Fixed that for you...

See, I'm a very helpful moderator.

Well, 3 down, 7 more to go...
Linear Algebra yesterday was ok. Could have been a lot worse.
Fourier Methods today didn't go so well. Paper was tougher than previous years imo but I think I did just enough to pass (had a fairly good continous assessment, thank God.)

Tomorrow is Astrophysics. It could either go spectacularly well or end in complete disaster. :pac: Then after 4 exams in a row I'm free until next Wednesday.

I'm not sure if having a load of time off is a blessing or a curse. I have a week off before my last exam, but if the month off is anything to go by, I won't study. Still though, 3 down 6 to go. :pac:

Yeah but there's 7 other ones!!!

I have business maths 2moro, prob my best subject so I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm really worried bout French tho, the next day. At least it's only worth 40% and I shud be able to scrape a pass. Not good if half my course is French and I'm **** at it! :S

omg you made that mistake too!!!:eek:
i realised it at about midnight thurs night!!! i couldnt believe it!
i had NOTHING done for it as i was going to study for it next week!!
i was cramming all day fri!!! i was able to write an answer to the questions but im not too sure if i made up the "facts" lol!! :P hey at least we are sorted (well......) for next week anyway.
i started off doing question 1. that was about comparing characters i chose dagdae and brigit.. after a paragraph i realised i didnt know anything about them:rolleyes: so switched to druids.. oh well
oh and i did supernatural dimensions in kingship... i bascially talked about the dagdae being king of eirú and having magical powers...

Censorsh!t · 10-05-2009 08:54PM

I have figured that for gepgraphy, I only need about 10% in each section to pass

that shouldn't be too hard, although I don't know much at all for economic geography.

And depending how i've done in my last ary history slide test, I've pretty much already passed! Life isn't so hard!

I don't think we'll fail cause of the continous assesment , it's worth 20% per module and summer exam is 80% per module , just have to do well in the summer exams to scrape a pass !
