Almost that time of year ...

[Katie]

One of the first things I always think of at the May bank holiday is that its almost Uni exam time. I know lots of people are submitting FYPs and things like that at the moment, and starting the final slog for finals, Leaving Cert, A Levels etc etc... Just wanna say, chin up, deep breath and think of summer! Not long to go now, best of luck with it

Cheers Katie.

Nearly there I guess...Diss due Wednesday and I am spending today look at stats and talking about significance figures which I have NO clue about *YAWN*...then after that another 1000 words to go on a case stuy and then 2 seen papers. Last exam EVER on the day of the Dublin/Vicar St gig so I am thinking that's gonna be one hell of a jolly night ;)

Good luck to anyone else going thru exams. When I light a candle to ask for guidance with my own studies, I always light another for other students :)

Who else is doing big exams this year? Are Niall or Kilkenny Claire in final year?

[Katie]

Sounds like that will be some night Sian, and you will have such an amazing time. I remember the last night of my 4th year exams, all those millions of years back. If Im honest it was mostly tears cos we knew the next few days were the end of it all. Moving away from my life there was harder than any exam. But then I moved to Limerick and put myself through another 4 years of it :D Something very tough about leaving the class you had for four years though. Even your one-time fiancee Scruff will admit to getting upset that night :D ;-) heehee

[Siano]

Haha!
I actually dont mind so much about leaving uni at all. Most of my close friends aren't at uni so I dont really avail of the student life as much as I should or could. I just cant wait to get myself out of debt, throw out my file blocks and declutter my room of books, notes and remnants of stress! heehee

Roll on Wednesday, I can cope with exams but dissertations are the bile of satan! Bloody linear by linear association and significant chi-values BLAH BLAH BLAH ;)

[Claire Guinness]

Good luck Sian, I'll be thinking of you! All the hard work you put in will pay off, never mind the stress you've been through! And just think Wednesday will finally come and I'm there to help you celebrate :D:D:D

[Siano]

Bloody Hell! Cannot wait.I dont think I will ever look forward to a pint of Pear Cider more in my life. That first sip of freedom from dissertation hell! Get in ;)

Now, I do believe there is the 'simple' matter of 4000 words and the spell checking, grammar checking, layout proofing of a massive piece of work that stands in my way. So can you all stop being interesting for 2 days?! lol.

[niamhs]

good luck sian! i keep meaning to tell you! wednesday is agesss away! you'll be grand!! :)

[Sambo5916]

All the best everyone.

So werid saying bye to class mates now and then having to go back and say hello to the year below for one term !

[Siano]

Oh my goodness Sambo! That is awful!! :( I hope verything is okay now, I am sure that would mess with your motivation and determination to even finish the course.

Good luck with your disseration though!

And cheers Niamh, good luck with the AS's :)

[niamhs]

[Sambo5916]

Hey thanks folks, yea the whole thing was messed up big time, still cant concentrate that well and walking is unnecessarily hard (shattered my leg in accident - nice big pin there now)

but still about to hear duke and do essays what more could a person ask for ;)

All the very best to everyone, all in the same boat wanting the time to pass, but keep pushing on and take time to relax - nothing worse than frying yourself !

[Claire]

Im really sorry to hear about that Sambo but you've got a deadly attitude towards it so good on you mate :)

Nope I havent got exams , praise the Lord!

Best of luck all of you guys. I know its easy for me to say but you've done the work- this is your chance to prove it (although I dont agree with the exam process but thats for another day)
See ye on the other side xxx :)

[Geordie]

Best of luck everyone!

It's a while since my summers were scarred with exams and dissertations and I can assure you the lack of them makes for a much better time! :)
