Exams!

I did feel that I should have spent less time learning lists of bullet points and more time masturbating during my revision. The more you know.

That was an odd post to read without context.

Also, I may not be around here as often over the next few weeks due to exams and studying! I'll try to pop my head in from time to time though.   

Good luck with 'em, Jay!  I'm sure you're better at writing essays than I am.

Thank you sir! Hoping that my idea to head off to Belgium tomorrow for a few days and coming back two days before my first exam isn't going to bite me in the ass...

Best of luck with the exams, everybody. I don't have any at the level I'm studying at, but you'll be happy to know that it's being compensated by an absolute baw-bootin' of an essay timetable.

Cheers Cappa! And best of luck with your essays - hope your testicles make it through to the other side.

Just like to echo the good luck to all taking exams! It's a nasty business.

One thing worse than an exam - a really annoying drippy cold during an exam.  Still, done now.

Currently under a cloud of utter stress.

What year are you in again?

3rd year - the stress is more my own fault then the level of work, though.

Did you leave all the work until the last few weeks? That's what I tend to do, and then I pay for it later.

Ahh - I couldn't remember if it was second or third - if it was the former then I was going to tell you that ultimately it didn't matter because it was only third and fourth year that actually make any difference. Sounds like you're pretty much on the ball though. If it's any consolation I found fourth year reasonably straightforward in that I knew exactly how much work to put in to maintain the standard I ended up at by the end of my third year (read: I knew how much I could afford to fanny about).

Bingo.

Ehh... I'm still testing my limits, which is a mistake!

I can't seem to accept that my exams are like 3 weeks away and am totally not in the mindset to start revising.

Sorry about the recent inactivity, I haven't got an excuse just yet but give it a week and I'll have a really good one.
Results! boo! French: B (Just missed an A by 10 marks) ICT: C (14 from next grade) Physics: D (a really, really shit one)
All together not bad results methinks, I think I could get somewhere between an ABC and a BBC this time next year.

Wahey, results!  What's next week's really good excuse?

I... don't know how to respond to that.

Oh yeah - mine's went alright! I got a smattering of As and Bs, so I'm fairly chuffed!

Very late, but well done Jay! I generally don't know how to respond to grades apart from in the mood of the taker, but you sound happy about 'em, so it's all good.

I just had an online tutorial for my hideous professional exam. Six and a half hours of studying financial statistics, after a night on the plane.

Not sure if there's anyone involved with A-Level results day except me anymore... if there is, good luck to you!

So I got a BCC and am going to de montfort university in September to study Computer games programming. To say I'm pleased would be an understatement
It's all so very exciting! I may need to get a haircut soon...

Well done Duck! Hope that the degree goes well! Afterwards, don't apply to Konami - I hear that they're not very nice.
