Might be a bit off topic, but can I just say that if you want to hang around and have a post-mortem with your mates afterwards, can you please to **** do it OUTSIDE. Especially in big places (the Mardyke or Neptune), where there's a bottle neck of hundreds of students trying to get out one or two doors. Dopey ****ers standing around in groups of five or six in the middle of the room when everyone's trying to get their bags wreck my head, I want to get out of the place as quick as possible (I don't like crowds of people much and I smoke), so do a lot of people. And don't give me a bloody aggrieved stare if I accidentally jostle you. See that door six feet to your left? Beyond it lies a world unconfined by walls and ceilings, where people can avoid you when they're being pushed along by the sheer volume of moving bodies behind them. And no that doesn't mean RIGHT OUTSIDE the door :mad::mad::mad:

Good point actually. Nothing worse than when they block up just outside the door where that metal rail. Had to half tackle people out of the way yesterday to get my bag even though the SSO's were telling them all to get the fúck out. Bloody idiots.....

It's the fact that they seem so annoyed that they can't carry on their conversation without being bumped off or occasionally having to move out of people's way that pisses me off the most, seriously, it's not physically possible for that to happen with that many people all trying to move through the same room/stretch of footpath. It is possible, however, fifteen seconds walk away. Holds up the whole show for everyone.

I had Introductory Physics II, PY1053, just there. The fact that it was a three hour exam and that I'm here now pretty much sums it up.
I may have done enough to pass by compensation...

did that paper last year. I attempted 9% worth of marks. probly got most of em wrong. passed by compensation. you'll be grand

Yes but the less work you have to do, the lazier you get. Sure i worked a 30 hour week at the same time as attending college.

On a separate note, i'm so glad i've not had to experience the joys of the Mardyke or Neptune for exam time. Taking people all the way up to the North side is a fcuking joke.

Cows Go µ · 22-05-2010 10:42AM

Only 5 more to go. Can't wait for this time next week. Sick of loads of people posting on facebook that they have finished when I'm only just past half way

DingosAteMyBaby · 23-05-2010 06:41PM

2 left. The worst one is tomorrow:( I can see the finish line though:) Stupid repeats better not be hanging over me all SUmmer though.:mad:

Nova_era · 23-05-2010 06:56PM

2 more to go for me today, including a 3 hour German language paper at 9:30 tomorrow morning.

Just learning a bit of grammar for it now, there's going to be a lot of translation + an essay.

But it is in the Aula Maxima, so that's something to enjoy.

Had AN2004 today....MCQ with 100 questions so hard to guess how well i did. 8 down and three more to go....only two days till freedom!!!!!!!

Was that Aideens magic exam?:) We had it in pharmacy AN1074. Absolutely deadly. None of the MCQs in the histology manual were anything like that thing!

ReacherCreature · 24-05-2010 11:11PM

HI2030 - American Foreign Policy.

Went okish. Was always going to be a difficult exam. Answered my two questions; one on Imperialism and the other on Vietnamization. Continuous assessment should help.

Got an essay back today for a module that I've a test on Thursday. Will have 11% or so going into exam.

Banjo Fella · 24-05-2010 11:55PM

Woot, Non-Linear Dynamics & Control went really well today! Now I've just got one exam left... no idea how difficult it's going to be, really, which is quite scary. Better do an hour or so of study before I sleep... I'll be so glad to be done!

Non-linear dynamics and control was an awesome exam. I love Alexei, he always does the best exams

Graph Theory and Combinatorics today, it should go okay. Graph theory is easy, combinatorics can annoy me at times, I can barely even spell the word. In fact, I probably spelt it wrong.

KnifeWRENCH · 25-05-2010 03:20PM

Ugh, I'm really pissed off with myself. Just had Quantum Physics (PY3102) and even though it wasn't a very difficult papaer, I still did badly. Pretty much every question on the paper was one we had done before but I just couldn't remember most of it. I really should have done better.

Graphy Theory and Combinatorics (MA3059) at 4.30. I really hate having two exams on the same day.

Nova_era · 25-05-2010 04:18PM

I have my last exam tomorrow, German Literature from the 18th to the 21st Century.

2 questions, answer one... I was at all classes of the section A question, and a few of section B. I'll be banking on a handy Expressionist Poetry question.

Kinda depressing to be finished in UCC tomorrow until September 2011 though...

I'm gonna buy a UCC hoody in celebration of finshing the exam, but I'll probably end up using it to wipe the tears away.

I've my last one tomorrow as well, MS2001 differential calculus, but can't seem to study for it

I reckon it's just a natural thing with the last exam, for everyone.. You're no longer restrained by having a timetable of exams ahead of you; you can leave when you want, and as a result finish your exams whenever you want.

The temptation to do so will be big, but I'll stay for the full time.

I really will miss my college friends.

So yeah, I'm finished that exam now. It was ok; did one very good question, one ok question and one awful question but still did enough to pass.
Just delighted to have today finished with; at least I'll only have one exam everyday for the rest of the week.

pirateninja · 25-05-2010 07:06PM

Finally done! Ended with MG2092 and loved the paper!:D:D

heliocentrist · 25-05-2010 08:01PM

Had Genetic Engineering and Molecular Biotechnology today, went well, pleased with it.

One left and I'm going mad!

Glad your exam went well, I wasn't sure if it had or not, you did not look happy when you left the exam hall so I was worried. I loved the paper, it just happened the exact stuff I studied came up which was a relief. Though the 2 M's, T's and E's in COMMITTEE threw me for ages. I could remember her doing that but couldn't for the life of me remember what the hell she actually did until the last like 5 minutes.

Just 3 left now, can't wait for it all to be over. Friday is going to be awesome (after 3:30, before 3:30 its going to suck)

I'll be inside in Devere hall with not a bit of calculus but I'll be humming that

MA3052 - Ring and Field Theory.

There isn't a FAIL pic on the whole internet that could describe just how badly it went.
