    handed in like 2 weeks ago now, hopeful it get a good mark dissertation supervisor seemed pretty happy with it, it may get used in a paper, so i am hopping that means a 2.1, just the presentation to do for the project now when we get back, than 4 exams in 2 weeks
    I posted this aaaaaages ago!! and forgotten about it

    with 3 in one week? or some time between them?

    Hopefully you'll get a first, be optimistic. THe presentation wasn't too bad so long as you knew what you were writing about.

    i only just saw it ;

    2 in 2days which is going to be fun, seeing as one is the drug design module
    exams on the 24th 25 and 31st may, than 4th june

    a first would be nice :p:, i sort of knew what i was writing about, given i didn't get my project until 2 weeks before the deadline, see what happens with the presentation, my supervisor has got another supervisor group to join us and for us to give a mock before the real so we can make changes
    You were just ignoring me i know the truth

    Oooo,.. not thats not gonna be good. Thts a good idea about the presentation, we just had to guess. the hardest bit was watching one girl in our group really struggling to answer the most basic questions asked in the presentation

    well :ninja: it was a stressful few weeks

    its going to be painful, last exams on a Saturday, thats the worry i won't be able to answer very basic question by than if my supervisor throws questions at me i could be ok

    the last presentation we did for the issue module i did wing alot of that, walk out with 60%, could have done better, seeing as my essay mark came out as 71%
    About a week ago i did think about askig you how it was going but decided it was too much effort so i'll let you off

    Least you can then go out and celebrate, our last one was a saturday and then we went straight up to london. With ours basic questions were about equipment we used and why, as she hadn't mentioned it in her presentation. Its hard to be that bad, but she was dire, turning up perodically, contaminating half her project, things like that

    they can ask me what equipment i used, yeah a laptop and excel :p:, hopefully they will be basic why and what

    i will be getting very drunk after my last exam, as long as i haven't burnt out
    she sounds pretty bad, i do wonder how people can do that
    i've seen some people coursework where they get like 7% its like why
    Why, how, other methods, what it shows, what would you do differently sort of thing. ANd any acronyms

    You do wonder how they get to 3rd year, but there again i was dire with a bit of depression and still got a 2.1, scraped 3rds in 3 exams,... but still got a 2.1, so can't comment too much.

    Most of ours got pissed, the rest just fell asleep

    oh yeah them sort of questions, better start on that soon to make sure i know what i am on about

    some people are very questionable, saying that i can't be getting 3rds in exams this year that won't be good, a good project mark will set it all off

    its depends how you feel and what sort of person you are, with the project a few of us were in the su bar others passed out, but than no one was sleeping
    I was exceedingly lucky that i'd been on track for a first prior to messing up as it meant to could get away with it.

    I'm sure you'll be fine

    They have said if i can wait 3 months they'll have funding to take me back, but that does leave me 3 months with little money.

    I'm up to 28 miles atm, so hopefully won't tkae too much longer. Do need to get some slicks rather than mountain bike tyres
