A POX on fire alarms the first morning back at 7.50am!!!!!!

An even BIGGER pox on tute partners who text you at 7:30am to ask whether you're meeting at 10am and an ESPECIALLY big pox on young men who text you at 8:30am to say good luck when your collections aren't until 2 and therefore logic should tell him you didn't go to bed until 3!!! SAM!!!! :mad:

*ahem*

Arrrrghhhhh... 15 hours to coursework deadline and still 2500 words to go. This is not good.
That is all.

So coming to the bar was a great plan :wink:

Is it done yet? If you're flagging run to Sainsburys and buy Relentless... (in a big brown can next to red bull) - looks very cool and will give you at least 4-5 hours of concentrating time to finish in time for what i believe was a midday deadline?

Yeh I'm meant to be revising now (for possible collections at 2 this afternoon) but it's not going too well! Especially as I physically couldn't revise at home so have now had to just guess the questions which are gonna come up and only revise them! Don't have time to revise properly.

I was told today that one of the options I've elected to do is generaly considered to be the most difficult one of all. Great. At least I won't study it until my fourth year, and I do have time to change my mind about it betwen now and then, but argh.

Oh, and I have to learn a whole new dialect of Greek. By Monday. Crap.

And yet, I still can't quite get myself back into my sunny Oxford Trinity state of mind. I want to go home. But I don't want to be at home. Does that ven make sense? Bleh.

trust you to make life hard for yourself :rolleyes:

. Im sure once the term starts properly you'll get back into the swing of it. It's all this dossing about doing nothing that you've been doing :wink:

It's so annoying because pretty much everyone will be finished today (and so be celebrating) whilst I had some today, and I have the ones that I will actually fail (Logic :mad:

) tomorrow. And all I want to do is sleep, but I have to revise!

I revised everything for my pol collection, but then worked on the basis that we were going to be given either the 2004-5 or 2005-6 paper, the latter of which was most likely. And it came up :biggrin:

! Too bad that definitely won't happen tomorrow.... :frown:

well you can celebrate tomorrow :biggrin:

Good luck, Im sure you won't actually fail it, and even if you do it's only collections - failing is almost mandatory.

Funny that- I failed logic today, and I have maths for economics tomorrow morning! Eating into cricket practise and everything...

Nooooo....how bad was logic?! Was it that there were two parts that were totally doable in a question but the last part was a nightmare? I always find that. I'm guessing Blamey got rid of all the predicate logic. And COUNTEREXAMPLES - can't do them and they're ALWAYS in every section, it feels like. I seriously want to run away and pretend I forgot to do the Logic section.

Well one of my friends did exactly that. Walked out of the collections when given the logic paper! Good move I think.

I was tempted to do that. Glad I stayed and struggled through though. Last term was not good for me academically, so I stuck my head down and tried to learn a load of stuff over easter. I found it hard, and I'm not sure how much really stuck, so I just tried as much as I could and then did my best in the collection. Whatever I get wrong is just priority revision for prelims. That's how I'm approaching it.

BTW, it was basically a full philosophy paper- probably designed for prelims, so it has the same format. There's plenty of predicate logic stuff there and counterexamples galore- but I skipped all that! There was some stuff I just couldn't do, so I left it, and hopefully they'll help me go through it. Mill questions were *not* good though. :frown:

Maths for economics now...

Wow, my lack of motivation for collections is actually funny. I even got up early (as in like 6 in the morn) this morning, but managed to get about half an hour's work done and now I'm listening to the radio instead and looking at facebook. Oh, and I feel the need to get a fry up in about half an hour. Really really really hope I take Prelims seriously. I used to have faith in the fact that I would take them seriously since they're important exams, but with my recent behaviour I don't know. Not looking good!

It's so wrong that I'm up at this time on a Saturday for an EXAM that doesn't even count, grrr!

Last term it was trampolining, which at least had a purpose, and I enjoyed :frown:

I'm glad I'm not a medic though - my friend will have sat three collections by this lunchtime, with three more on Monday.
