Yeah, I saw then skulking around trying to get in through the gates behind people earlier, so when I was going back in from the shop I just left enough room for me to go by and he started cursing at me :P
The bástards managed to steal my bike last year but couldnt get the lock off properly and gave up and threw it into Bru na Grudan after bending the rim of the back tire into shíte

Setting my alarm for 4am makes me feel sick

A good nights sleep is gonna help you a hell of a lot more than getting up at ridiculous-o-clock to study :P

onethreefive · 10-05-2015 08:40PM

It's at 9 so I plan on coming home afterwards and making up the rest of the hours so that should balance it out :P

I guess I just love sleep too much :P If I was really desperate before an exam at 9 I'd get up at 6, maybe 6.30 to study and absolutely no earlier.

For 9am and 12:30 exams, I sleep from 9pm to 12am the night before, then study from 12am until the exam, taking 20 minute power naps ever 3-4 hours.

You feel like death the evening after, but it's great if you work on crammed knowledge like I do.

No matter how hard I try, I can never understand people like you...

I set my alarm for every 5 consecutive minutes after when I want to wake up just in case I sleep in :P

You're better off tbh. It's a horrifically terrible way to approach exams. I just can never seem to get motivated to study until 24 hours before the exam, at which point panic sets in and my brain is like "K, I'm ready absorb now.".

Its also not a very good way to actually learn material. All you're doing is committing it to short term memory and shiz. But still, I cant say much since I leave all my study to study week and the days prior to the exam.

Yup. I literally can't remember any of the information I knew for the exam last Wednesday.

I think it had something to do with computers... :P

Its why you give yourself a break from it, like I am now. Daredevil is just so good!

onethreefive · 10-05-2015 09:15PM

I'm watching youtube videos of Britains got Talent and the guilt I have is incredible haha! Cannot fail this exam :P

Chris Martin · 10-05-2015 09:27PM

Like a bit of Johnathon and Amanda(I think) singing Con Te Partiro..
Sickened they lost out to a dog >=[
Don't watch the show but like the decent acts that come along..
That shadow dance group from Greece(I think) are good as well.. These won it.
These are past years stuff..
Just some stuff for night ahead.. :P
Su Bo was good and I know I'm mixing up X Factor as well now but that Irish woman Mary Byrne, loved her audition.

All worth a watch.
Oh and the father son duo, Stavros Flatley I think.. :P

Awkward moment when you think sitting beside a Boardsie in the library... and they don't even realise and you're not sure...

Mmmm, This was possibly me. My neighbor was posting on boards today!

4 exams in the next 5 days. Gonna be intense but at least tommorows is mcqs!

Chris Martin · 10-05-2015 09:35PM

Charlotte that's it.. :P
Stab in the dark :P
Fantastic singing, loved the song to begin with and they were fantastic for their age. Even separately I'd say they'd have gone far.
Were very good together though, there seems to be at least one judgemental moment every season and they never learn.
Before J&C Simon said 'just when you think things can't get any worse.'
You think they'd learn to shut up like and postpone judgement.. :P
Now I think Simon's signed Jonathon, unsure about Charlotte but sickened they didn't win it in the end..

Hate dog tricks on the best of days so that irked me..

onethreefive · 10-05-2015 09:50PM

The amount of people on Sulis for my exam tomorrow is scaring me haha

Midkemia · 10-05-2015 10:56PM

Ha well..uh.. nice to have met you?

Looking at that post, I realise my sentence structure is getting worse and worse as I'm getting more and more tired. I really hope I'm not missing words like that in my exams... although it's very possible.

jamo2oo9 · 11-05-2015 09:47AM

Any seats in the library? Kicked out of the computer labs in Kemmy again..

sibby · 11-05-2015 09:54AM

Why are they kicking people out?!

Exams..

Couldn't even be bothered to put up a notice saying exams will be held in there...

So hard to study when the lecturer is an idiot...

I found it really hard to concentrate on study for two of my exams 'cause the notes had grammar mistakes in them. And one set of notes was all PDF files so I couldn't just edit them like a PowerPoint, made it worse, far too distracting. :L

It's not even the grammar mistakes, it's the shorthand that nobody else understands. Added to the fact he doesn't have a notion about what he's talking about so whatever slides aren't contradicting each other (serious, 5 slides after eachother and all of them say the opposite thing about the same topic) are just plain wrong. The only thing that'll save us is the fact he took all of his material from one book (which, I've just lost 24% in a project because the book that he uses and told us to use in the guidelines, is "not scientific enough")... Ughhh.....

I usually just head to the foundation building and use the canteen once the building closes! Great peace and quiet, ever only a handful there.
