University of Glasgow blether thread

No exams for me Then again I do have a 10,000 word dissertation to write instead...

unlucky you
i only have a 10,000 word dissertation to write and seven exams.

Damn What do you study?

I pretend to study maths when in reality i put everything off to the last minute.
The dissertation is NOT going well

Is yours in mid-December? Mine isn't going badly, it's just taking an age to write After doing so many 1500-2000 word essays, getting into the habit of going into such great detail is harder than I thought it would be.

Got this in an email from one of my lecturers:

"For info:
The Registry is now saying it will 'aim to'publish the exam dates on the website on Wednesday of this week."

So no, not really



I know! I can't remember the last time I actually removed my scarf and coat in uni. And my lecturers never look cold! They're a different species...

I wish they had desks with no computers in short loan. Gah. Half the books I need for this essay are only available for four hours so it's easier to use them in here rather than having to check them out and take them somewhere else but every desk has a computer. I don't even need a computer, but here I am, selfishly using one anyway. Fail.

Anyone know when exam timetables are released (if they exist)? or do individual subjects give out exam times?

I'd hate that because you could never know whether a book is really checked in and on the shelf or somebody else is using it. Plus it would allow people to keep books for more than four hours and I really don't think that's fair. Taking an elevator to another floor takes just five minutes.

Is that for post death marrow donation?

That's why I prefer to use them in Short Loan - I'd only use them for maybe an hour max in there whereas if I took six or seven books upstairs I'd probably not return them until I was finished with all of them, which would probably be more than four hours.


The other day I was in and a book I wanted wasn't there at 1 but was there at 3.

But you can just take two books, go to the cafe or to one of the other floors and come back downstairs for more when you've finished with them, it's not like the library's that massive. I've spent three days in agony hunting down for Critical Perspectives on Harry Potter because despite the fact that the website said it was on the shelf, every time I looked for it, it wasn't there. In the end I turned to the books from the main section for both my essays and found some really interesting things tucked away in corners were most people couldn't be bothered to look.
