Re: LDR chat thread VIII
Is that the close reading exam Susan? Anything we can help you with?
I got my last one tomorrow as well. Not as prepared as I'd like to be, just like for all of these. I wish I were single honours and only had few exams, 5 is just too many for me for one week.
Katie, glad you worked it out

I'm worried about plagiarism too, when the whole exam is basically rewording a published paper it seems too easy to accidentally use their words. And then there might be a question on mechanisms of drugs but some lecturers have said there won't so I didn't really look over stuff but now everyone seems to think there will be so that's 10% gone straight off. I actually feel so sick and like I'm going to ruin 4 years of my life tomorrow.
Good luck for tomorrow. 5 in a week is awful, I have 5 over two weeks and that's bad. At least you're nearly done now. -

Good luck to both of you

Going to attempt a second library day - got to be in at 9 to do the last minute touches on out group project, and I'm taking my laptop, so mopefully I'll be able to find a study space once we're done. -
Re: LDR chat thread VIII
Susan sorry for never answering last night. Try not to stress too much and just do your best. How much does the exam count? I am sure even if you did badly in one module you won't ruin your degree. What are you hoping for overall?
Thanks Flo, I need hugs and luck. A bit of last minute cramming now and then at 4pm I am free. Weird!
Bee, why would he ask for 500 pounds? -
Re: LDR chat thread VIII
Good luck with exams, Sabrina and Susan! I can't believe my first one is three weeks today, and then four weeks on Wednesday I'll be done.

And, yay, that his parents said yes, Katie.
Gotta take my sister to the station in a bit because she's got an exam today, and then I have a thrilling day of writing my oral presentation coming right up. It's gonna be so boring - the boy's in an exam 09:30-11:30 and 2-3, so I can't even call him for entertainment. And all my other siblings are at school 'til, like, 5. I think my mum should be home at some point, but she's a whirlwind of activity even when we are in the same house. Boooored already!

Re: LDR chat thread VIIIWhat??? Why on earth???(Original post by blinkbelle)

Flo - good luck in the library!
Good luck to everyone with exams
3 weeks today until I'm home for good! Very weird feeling
where did this year go????

Re: LDR chat thread VIII
Why does train travel (and travel in general) have to be so expensive?

I'm pretty on top of my work, so much so that I could easily afford (time-wise) to spend the weekend with the boy. But I can't afford the £70 it would take me to get there
It's weird at the moment - I feel that as a thrid year in my final term, I should be working pretty much 24/7, but I'm not and I feel like a slacker. But the thing is, I don't really have enough work 0_o (weird thing to complain about, I know
). I've got two essays due a week today, but they're both pretty much finished (one needs a bibliography, and they both need some last minute tweaking, but the majority is done). Then I've only got one exam, and it's not for another 2.5 weeks. I just feel at a bit of a loose end - I don't really know what to do with myself apart from work, but there's only so much I have left to do.
Meh.
Friday = wine time. Going to pop round to the corner shop and get a bottle, can't be bothered to walk into town, and we recently discovered that the shop takes card payments over £5, so money isn't a problem. -
Re: LDR chat thread VIII
And just to top everything off I got an email saying that it is "highly unlikely" I will be allocated a placement in Germany as year abroad students are being allocated places first and there aren't enough places for all of them. They've told me to make other plans. I'm just going to sit in bed with wine and ice-cream tonight and cry in a heap.

Re: LDR chat thread VIIII tried to keep calm and just write, don't know how it went but I got through it without a breakdown. Not confident though. It was 75% of that class(Original post by Buecherwurm)

The other 25% comes from an essay we handed in 2 months ago and still haven't got marks back (but was rubbish). Well I went into 4th year hoping for a merit at least but now I think I'm looking at a pass. After today an overall pass would probably be a good result. I know that one class won't affect your average that much but I've only been averaging 60ish and if I get below 50 in any class I fail
50% sounds so low but I'm not sure I've even managed it.
Hope yours went okay and you're out celebrating!
I'm going to ask why too. Surely that's down to your landlord, not them?(Original post by blinkbelle)

They're a bit late in telling you! Is this with the British council? What about doing teaching in another country or even applying to schools direct?
Sorry things are so **** atm Kat

Re: LDR chat thread VIII
My ex, as you may know or not, got a random[ish] girl pregnant. We still talk despite the break up not being fun for me, but something really got me just now when he told me he went to the first pregnancy scan and "saw his baby". I have no feelings left for him and am perfectly happy in my current relationship but hearing that made me feel so strange.

Can anyone tell me why I'm feeling like I am? -

for both of you.
Possibly because at some point, whether consciously or not, you thought about that as being the future for you and him? So seeing him do those things with someone else feels strange, even though now it's not something you want.(Original post by Stray_talk)

Re: LDR chat thread VIIII did entertain the idea once or twice. Bah, I think it's because I'm frustrated that my LDR will go on another year for certain. And the alcohol I have just consumed has depressed me slightly(Original post by Flo[ProActiv])

Re: LDR chat thread VIIII know what you mean about the LDR part - one of my friends just got married, and she's not been with her boyfriend (well, husband I guess) that much longer that B and I have been together (about a year longer, maybe a bit more). And I did feel a bit meh thinking that in a year's time, B and I won't even be living together, let alone be in a position to think about engagement/getting married.(Original post by Stray_talk)

EDIT: I drank all the wine
Well, not all of it, but I promised myself that I'd ration it out for 3 days, and I've had my daily quota. Tempted to go downstairs and have an extra half a glass, then skip hvaing it either tomorrow/Sunday...
EDIT 2: Ended up going for a second glass of wine
But getting more and more frustrated about trains. I so want to see the boy this weekend, but I know that I can't really afford it (technically, I have the money right now, but it's got to last over as much of the summer as possible, cause I doubt I'll get a job, and I don't want to have to dip into my savings too much), so logical brains is saying 'NO'.
