The Exams Thread

Well done Johnfás - sounds positive. Hope you get four out of four in the next one.

This thread is giving me the creeps - too many nights spent cramming all night long in the past.

WARNING: Do Not Try to Read the Wife of Bath's Tale the night before an exam.

The one down five to go bit sounds good - you'll be off on your holiers in no time and then there's plenty of leisure time to be spent writing johnfás travel blog ah it'll be great..

What exactly did you study Audi?

Where does the Chaucer come into all of this?

Over another hurdle. Three out of Four questions went fine, one was a bit iffy but hopefully went OK - was alot of waffle in it. One third the way through now... time to dig out the Companies Acts for Friday.

Phew - you're making great progress, johnfás. Well done.

Though you must be just sweltering in your scarf and woolly jumper in this heat...

Glad to hear you're doing well, I'll say a prayer that you'll have the success you deserve in the final three.

Great stuff johnfás, head down,push on - nearly there !

Not so good today. Defamation came up so was fine, everything else was downhill from there. Oh well, just two more events left in the johnfás hextathalon

Over the bar!

So you've hit a bit of a bump. Lots of great athletes do. I offered up a prayer at mass for you yesterday, I'll offer up another tomorrow, best of luck as you enter the final straits of the exams!

Vaulted over the next pole. Was a tough exam - land law - but that was to be expected. It was the only exam in which we had to answer 5 in 3 hours, was 4 in the rest. Still onwards and upwards, just one left on Friday now, the podim is in sight.

One final leap !

Yeeeeeeehaaaaah !

Well done, johnfás.

How's the head?

Don't even talk to me

I prescribe plenty of water, a little vitamin C and two minutes in the Decontamination Chamber. And on no account listen to the Eurovision Song Contest.

How did the last one go? Or don't you want to think about it at this stage?

Horay horay horay, my thesis is finished today! And only ten days overdue (oops!).

Well done 905. Was that degree by thesis, or part of the degree? A big thing, either way.

It was part of a degree, not a huge deal really. But it kind of sums up the degree.

Anything over 1,000 words is a big deal to me. Its brilliant to finish.

I finished an M.Phil last year and am not sure if to go to graduation in September. Is it a bit lame for poor old pgrads to turn up do you think? Usually with kids dogs and grannies in tow.

Can't say, I've never been.

Of course you should go to your graduation, great day out! I had my first one last December and I'll have another one this November. I thought I was going to be underwhelmed by what DIT would put on for my second one, given that they are so fragmented around the city. I was happy to find out that they do them in St Patrick's Cathedral though.
