Any other second-years worrying about dissertations? I don't even have to start mine til autumn 2015 as I'm going on an Erasmus year, but it's a big chunk of degree for which I have no idea what's expected of me!

Also, I've downloaded the Focus Time app for pomodoros on my phone, it's definitely worth the cash :smile:


I'm just coming to the end of my Erasmus year, and our proposals were due on Monday! Also freaking out about it massively. Speaking from experience, definitely get as much info as you can before you leave and make sure to harass, ahem, keep in touch with your lecturers about it while your away so it doesn't suddenly creep up on you while you're abroad and realise that you've no idea what's going on! :tongue: But it will be fine, I'm sure!

Think the only way I'm going to pass my last exam might be to cry and say 'But I came to all the lectures, I reallytried!' and hope for the best :tongue: I have all the handouts from the classes but the lecturer has also put up a sort of 'scheme of argument' (I have lost the ability to actually speak English, oh my days) thing online for each section of the course, so I'm going to print those out tonight so I have a full set of all possible print outs, and at least I'll be able to see all the stuff I should have learned and know for the exam so I know just how much trouble I'm in come June...

Okay! For one particular scene I looked up the equivalent scene in the book online and also GRRM personally said something about the scene because half the fandom was in an uproar. :p: So yeah.


I assume you're talking about the Jaime/Cersei bit which was just wtf :confused: It really shouldn't have played out like that :angry:

Yeah, that's the scene I meant. According to GRRM it was also supposed to be consensual in the book (some people have interpreted it as "coerced sex", therefore rape, but more dubios/ambiguous.)
Tbf, I think regardless of how it played out... I still think it's really weird to do THAT right next to.. well.. yeah. :p:

This was me a month ago :tongue:. TBH I still don't know much about it, despite my proposal being accepted :confused:. I'm hoping that once I meet my supervisor and have a chat, things will seem less scary!

Do you have any ideas for yours? :smile:

I took it to be consensual in the book tbh, so was a bit surprised when it played out like that! And yeaaah, sexy location for sexy times :colone:
Can't believe I actually woke up at 5.30am and managed to not fall asleep again. oO
My mum's arriving today and my friend is picking me up at 12pm, so I gotta do some studying until then.

I don't think we have to decide our title til the start of third year.
I think we're expected to carry out some original research - I was considering seeing if there's any relationship between knowledge about the EU and perceptions (positivity/ negativity) of it amongst university students
Got Latin finished yesterday so Old Norse today. Hoping for a productive day :smile:
It says a lot when I've decided to work on my birthday, nevertheless, I'm hoping for quite a productive day!

Wasn't able to go to the library today as I am looking after my poorly dog. Definitely less productive at home, but I am working reasonably. Want to get a good chunk of revision cards written today and go over past paper questions I got wrong.

Will also make use of being at home to print resources for the next couple of days.

Quick question - can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere simply explaining hypothesis testing?

To do:

- answer the questions from lecture 7
- answer the questions at the back of my electrochemistry handout
