Just handed in an assignment I thought was due for the 6th (meaning today was the last day we could have handed it in). I was literally up all night getting it finished, then I find out when I hand it in that it was due on the 2nd! :mad: Hopefully I get a bit of slack on it because it is worth 30% (23% with the late penalty) and getting nothing for ti would be a real kick in the nuts! Got three more (two 2,000 worders and a 3,000 worder) due for today week, so it's not going to be a fun week for me. Luckily after that lecturesare done and I only have 5 exams and a lovely exam timetable.

Damn 7000 words in one week. Thats beast.

I got a 3500 word paper due the 19th, I will only be able to start it on the 18th because of a brutal exam schedule that gives me no other option...

Another all nighter...

Luckily I've got no more essays to write. I've written a lot my 2nd term though. I'm actually a pretty good essay writer when it comes to certain subjects so I don't necessarily mind writing them so much as I do the time it takes away from the rest of my life.

I've finished 3 out of my 5 exams and have my last two on Wednesday and Saturday and then I'm back home for the summer. Four months of summertime... I can't wait!

Bastard. I got one exam today at 7:00PM and my review studying was interrupted by the Virginia Tech incident.:mad:

F it, got to do good for those that aren't given the opportunity too.

I just found out that our preliminary exam timetable has my first exam pencilled in for the day of the FA Cup final, from 2.30-5.30. It's like they planned it. (My second exam is on the day of the CL final, although thankfully I don't think they can bring us in that late in the day...although...)

I'm pissed to be missing the Cup final, so I'm feeling especially sorry for my housemate - he's got the same exam, 'cept he's also been a Man Utd supporter from birth! Poor guy.

It's like the Junior Cert history exam all over again. I'm still not over that, never will be; harsh is all I can say.

EDIT: You did just send me into a frenzy of checking fixtures and exam timetables, though. Luckily for me I only have one exam on a match day, 3.30-5.30 on the day of the Chelsea match, which doesn't kick off until 8... phew!

Damn I gotta check my final classes against the game schedule. I think my graduation is on the FA Cup final.

No to play ultimate fan, but I'd be willing to skip my Uni graduation to see this match. I simply don't put much weight into ceremonies, while the game will be incredibly important.

Wow....I came out of my Linear Final, and girls were crying outside. I studied my ass off hoping for a 90+. They end up changing the format of the exam some what. I ask the Prof. afterwards and she says the Government asked the administration to make it more difficult....

I swear if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck.

I pray I get my 65 so I finish the class with a B-

Finished one of the 2,000 words essays the other day. I've been up all night on it but I finally got that 3,000 word on done. Now I just need to get one more (relatively simple) 2,000 worder in, make my way into one lecture today and two tomorrow, and I am done for the year (barring 5 exams which won't be much problem because I got the handiest timetable ever for them)!

Got exams in a month, I'm also the 'just fvking get them over with' people. I'd rather have an intense week of exams than 4 papers spread over just under a month like I do now..

Papers are as bad though. You can technically do a 3000 word paper in one night, 2 if it requires a substantial amount of research.

But unless you are really intelligent, it is rather difficult to study 14 Chapters of information in in one week.

That's exactly like me. I would way rather have 5 exams in a week as opposed to having them stretched out over a month. I don't study well at all so if I were to have my exams all within a week I would be forced to study non stop for that one week. With the way I've had them spread out this month my study has been very stop and go. I procrastinate way too much. People have begun to move out of res already and right now the temperature outside is 17 C and I'm stuck indoors trying to study for an exam thats on ********ing Saturday. My mind is in summer mode already and there is no turning back.

The last essay is printing as I type this! All I have to do is number the pages, staple it, and get to college before 5pm to hand it in!! Now a week off before the exams kick in... here's the timetable for them. :D

Monday, 30 April, 9.30-11.30: World Drama (easy)
-----------------3.30-5.30: Cultural Studies (very hard)
Friday, May 4, 9.30-11.30: European Cinema (easy)
Wednesday, May 9, 3.30-5.30: Film & Gender (very easy)
Saturday, May 12, 9.30-11.30: History of Poetry (easy but uninteresting)

Delighted! :D
