I'll make an effort to talk to the grumpy looking lot too. They're usually the type that end up being my friends!

I really pity you! Right now my biggest worry is a puny French oral exam which seems pretty pathetic in comparison, but I will continue to tell myself it is the end of the world nonetheless!

Isn't it open 24/7 :eek:

I can imagine the comfortable sleeping areas are snapped up pretty quickly and it soon becomes a territory war :ninja:

I'm not even going to ask what sort of contortions you resort to get comfortable in a library!

Oh it's not contortions :smile:

If it were you wouldn't be able to sleep. However, I have resorted to contortions in my own bedroom just so I'll wake up from my 2-hour-nap :rolleyes:

Most people don't sleep in the library hehe :biggrin:

and I've seen one girl roll out her sleeping-bag under the desk and nap there. It's opened 24/7 so by the time it gets to about 2am, 3am it's pretty empty. It's usually completely empty by about 4, 5am. Don't even ask me how I know this :redface:

I would NOT recommend it!

Well, the good news is I've handed in my 5000-word essay WOOO! :biggrin:

And STILL I can't talk about anything other than Napoleon :rolleyes:

I feel so exhausted :frown:

I've got 3 days to revise for my exam, and then 2 weeks to revise for my next exam, and since I got two extensions on my two essays, I still have those to do after my exams :redface:

I'm just surprised I'm still functioning, I feel so out of it. *sigh* Just really need a break but there's none to be had. Never cram an essay!!!!!

Hope your French oral went ok btw :smile:

I wish I could read French - I'd kill to read Napoleon's memoir in French :p:

I'm afraid I don't club :biggrin:

I know where the clubs are, though, so I could show you them lol. I'm a dinner/cafe/cinema girl - I know a gorgeous little chocolate cafe in town :smile:

I also know my way around campus :biggrin:

('tis a useful thing to know) but I must say, I have no idea where the Politics dept is... Actually I lie, I do know. I switched from a science course, which means I pretty much know all of campus :biggrin:

(some people never end up at the sciencey end of campus you see) Gotta say, the locations of Nightingale and Cavendish still escape me though :ninja:

Note to self: bring sleeping bag... I know you don't recommend it but I have somewhat of a last minture reputation, so I have a feeling that I'll be filling those empty 4am slots at the library a few times next year :rolleyes:

Good luck with your exams! And I thought my A-level schedule was crammed :s-smilie:

If you make it through without collapsing it will be an achievement in itself!

French went mediocre, which is considerably better than I was expecting considering my teacher told me two days before that I was "so terrible, it's frustrating. You have a very irritability factor, do you know that? If I were your examiner I would mark you down for that reason even before attempting to grade your quality... blah... blah....". Yes, we don't get on well. Amusingly I had to discuss an unseen article about school, so I made sure I mentioned that I was bullied by the French departement :wink:

Your teacher sounds horrible :eek:

And besides, her comment just shows that she's not a professional. I remember I got worried that one of my tutors would mark me down cus they didn't like me, and I said that to the tutor who's been looking after me quite a lot. She replied that I have nothing to worry about because that tutor is a professional, and will do their job.

I'm sure you've got a good grade :smile:

You will show her! :king1:

Hahaha, well, as a student it is very likely that all of us WILL do an all-nighter at some point. Even some of my most hard-working friends have crammed at least one essay and did an all-nighter :biggrin:

I tell you now though, if you don't have to cram, don't - it's not pleasant. Enjoy your first year - do work but reeally enjoy your first year, because once it gets to second year, the pressure is on :s-smilie:

if nothing else then simply because it starts counting! :redface:

I've just spent a whole day doing my study diary, which contributes to how they mark one of our exams, though it in itself is non-assessed. Not sure how it works but you just wanna put as much in there as you can! So ran out of time and did a really rough job towards the end and ended up sleeping at 4am, and up for the exam at 9am :redface:

Just wasted a day though :frown:

Anyway, got to read for a 3000-word essay in 4 days, write it in 1, then I'll have 2 days left to revise for the same module :biggrin:

It's not too bad cus you've basically revised anyway when you write your essays. But that's why I'm telling you: don't cram!!!!! lol *sigh*

I make it sound like it's all work and no fun - it's not true, it's a lot of fun! Just caught me at the wrong time of the year! :biggrin:

Yes, that's what we'll tell ourselves when we're the only two at lectures :cool:
