Doubling up on that; it's really not worth it.

Seren_ · 05-01-2012 11:11PM

As you can see, I still haven't left

I'll see about the all-nighter... I usually get wrecked by about 2am and end up going to bed anyway. I might just take the two of yous' advice and do two good hours of reading/looking over notes and head to bed at 12...

Really freaking out now

I need to calm down before I end up having a panic attack or something.

Cup of tea, straight to bed, and The Flaming Lips!

Well that was sh1te. August here I come! On to study for the next one now, the lovely HY311.

Good luck everyone x

Three hour All exams are wrong and and bad for you.

CaoimH_in · 06-01-2012 01:30PM

Poor divil's.

Exam layout today for Film. Should be OK. Jazz is my next worry.

Edit: Little bit of inadvertent sexism in that song. Speaks about the gender-neutral 'scientists' then, "they're just humans, with wives and children". Tutut, expect better from the greatest rock band ever.

Seren_ · 06-01-2012 01:56PM

Aww Film! Memories. I got 18 in it the first time I did it

it's handy enough really though.

CaoimH_in · 06-01-2012 03:14PM

It's really good is what it is! :P

Baile an Locha · 06-01-2012 05:50PM

Walking around Aldi getting my exam snacks, mmmn bacon fries, and I picked up the imitation Red Bull.
DON'T GET IT

Drank two cans while studying last night and felt incredibly sick all day.

CaoimH_in · 07-01-2012 10:11AM

That post looks like it was structured by me. No cents what zo eva! You must have been wrecked indeed!

Futurama.

Yes, yes I am being serious. It's a module where you watch Peckinpah films. . . AMAZING!

Seren_ · 07-01-2012 05:59PM

You do get to watch some awesome films alright. Actually, all of the ones we watched were pretty good.

DB21 · 07-01-2012 06:15PM

I

FIFA 12. Ultimate procrastination tool.

squishykins · 07-01-2012 06:43PM

Don't think you can procrastinate much more than deferring the year...Good luck guys

rcaz · 07-01-2012 06:53PM

Anyone else feel like the exam you're least prepared for is the one you're worried about least as well?

I'll probably be repeating Quantum Mechanics 2, no point worrying about it now :pac:

The ones I'm alright-ish prepared for, however, have me feeling sick

mickstupp · 07-01-2012 10:12PM

I don't do a film module, but I love The Wild Bunch.

CaoimH_in · 08-01-2012 01:52PM

Peckinpah is the man.

Jazz & Pop has me sick.

Edit: @Yourtexthere We watched Wall-e this year too; as our pick your own film from the noughties. But yeah, class module.

Same! Had my essay done weeks ago and then thought I would be set to study.. sadly not

CaoimH_in · 08-01-2012 02:02PM

Why 3 questions like?! It's just cruel.

rcaz · 08-01-2012 02:11PM

The revision guidelines for pop and jazz are so vague, and it's the first exam of a new course, and the two lectures are really nice, I bet the exam will be fine. Sure Adrian's practically telling us what's on the exam isn't he? (I've got a post on Moodle waiting for a reply that'll clear that up

)

I'm a little worried about the jazz section, but like I said, Laura left the revision topics so broad that the questions have to be wide open too, right?

CaoimH_in · 08-01-2012 02:15PM

Oh ridiculously, it's nonsense. I'm doing the transfer of swing to bop; the beginnings and maybe Dixieland.

Rock n' Roll and Punk for Adrian.

Swing and bebop, black and white, smart and dumb... So much of the course can be used for a discussion on discrimination and prejudice and stuff.

CaoimH_in · 08-01-2012 02:38PM

Prejudice is a good point to lean on but I really doubt there'll be a question on it. PM me your e-mail there too.

Seren_ · 08-01-2012 03:35PM

Frack, I've a load of books on punk & other stuff that I could have lent people if they needed ones, they're in Sligo though. Library's pretty crap for it.

Also, you got to watch Wall-E in film? Jealous! I heard yous didn't have Luke this year, so I suppose there was a few different films on the course.

I hear dat. Memories! *tear*

Fbjm · 08-01-2012 04:51PM

I should probably start studying, my exam is on thursday...

I'll get to sleep early tonight and start tomorrow. That's the plan anyway, although previous plans (e.g. start in the new year, start tomorrow etc) have been unsuccessful...

rcaz · 08-01-2012 07:37PM

This Friday is Friday the 13th. ****'s sake.

Norrdeth · 08-01-2012 07:40PM

It's just a number.

*"I am not a number I am a free man!"

DB10 · 08-01-2012 07:49PM

Anyone else think exams on saturday are ridiculous?

From a transport point of view, most of the buses probably won't be running on Saturdays, so left with the option of a train to Dublin and then another 2hr 45min bus journey, on a Saturday night, on my own....:rolleyes::(
