I thought contact hours included lectures? Surely they do! Otherwise I would've had next to no contact hours each week for the past year lol....like 1 every other week or so like Kat. With lectures had about 10 per week

That means I had between 7 and 11 hours per week. Which sounds less fun.

does.......does that make any difference?

I'd rather be exalted, given the choice.

Anyway, this coming year I have 6 lectures a week (yay!), 3 problems classes, and I'll be expected to put around 20 hours per week in on my lab project in labs and doing data analysis.

Also, I might end up spending a weekend at a particle accellerator. Which is MUCH less exciting than it sounds, and will basically involve me sitting up all night making sure that the experiement my demonstrator and I are running doesnt break.

However, I may get a paper out with my name on it. Thus making me amazing.

No it makes no difference but when you're doing nothing all day, every day, the simple things are amusing. And yes I'd rather be exalted.

I used to have 3 consecutive lectures in the same hall.

My ass tended to go numb halfway through the second, and by the time we'd got into the third I'd usually given up and was playing an A4 size game of squares.

That said, this triple bill was after formal nights, and I once had to dash out midway through the second lecture to do the worst vomit ever. I hate when hangovers catch you unawares.

Oh mannn Though saying that it is the module that I'm most looking forward to, so hopefully it shouldn't be *too* bad 2hrs with me every Friday afternoon Kat

Becca - I actually like the taste of them (yes, a few times I have chewed them!)
