How was the exam? Hope it went well and you are now full of confidence :)

I finished my year one PT MSc at the start of April but had to defer my exams until October... Now I'm worried it will feel like starting the whole course again to do the revision :(

Good luck, people!

Just had a most mental week of MSc exams every bleeding single day.:eek: I think that my hard work has paid off though. I did well on a couple of the exams and I'm pretty sure that I did enough on the rest to pass. Passing is all I want.

But no rest....This has been followed by a weekend of sitting in the library. I am just about to leave the library now and catch the last tube home now.

Two more weeks of this madness :(:(
 
4 3-hour exams at end of May, start of June. Getting there slowly. Have to keep reminding myself that I don't need to know it all 100%, a good general understanding and 70% on the nose will be enough.

Well done froggy, one down! :) How do you think it went?

I've stopped doing my analysis tonight. Now going to send my supervisor a less completed analysis than I promised, but I'd rather get something in a bit later which is good than a load of rushed, tired crap. :(

hello AS - i think it went ok, i didnt do much revision for it though. ill have to do more for my next one which is on the 7th - on feminism actually :eek: i know that module quite well, so should be ok - we'll have to see though

i think im coming down with somethin tho - which i relaly dont need. :( x
 
Meanwhile out there in the world outside of revision hell there is bank holiday going on. :(

For me another day in the library. Imperial College libary which is full of the mad people who literally live there. Im not joking they bring their sleeping bags and stay all night. Last night when I left at 11.30pm the library was rammed hardly a free desk. Quite bonkers! :eek:

Glad you think it went OK - good luck with the next one, and further luck in throwing off bugs before they take hold (nasty badly timed almost illness :mad:)

Yes. :( I missed a BBQ/day time party all day Sat and bf and will miss a nice bike ride today. Tbh it's getting to the point where I don't want to go to bed atm, because then waking up is another day of work and I think I can only have 2 days off now till mid June. :(

What's your dissertation on?. You've got two months to write it you say. How many words?
Click to expand...

This is at the end of 3 years though of hard slog! I'm doing a doctorate, though because it's not a straight PhD but a professional qualification, the dissertation is only 20,000 words (eating disorders and pregnancy). But I'm more just fed up now of not having much free time, which is always particularly difficult in the summer. :(

I am officially sick of it all.
 
Well, I started studying law in 1999 and now I'm 4 (should've been two :() months from qualification. Cos I've done it all part time in the evenings whilst working full time, it's been a bit of a bitch. I had a break in between though, so we'll call it 7 years start to finish, man and boy.

That's the difference between what I'm doing now and my undergrad (well, apart from the obvious required quality of the work). Whilst it's a full time course I have placement 3 days a week and lectures 9/10-5 one or two days a week, so it feels like studying whilst working full time, albiet with a few study days (which I'm grateful of, but which never seem enough). If you take it from the start of my undergrad it will be 6 years of study with a break in between of poorly paid jobs, poorly paid because they know there are so many people desperate to get into a competative profession.

At least we'll feel good when it's over, eh?
 
It's just a grind, isn't it? Ten years since I started, I've now spent a third of my entire life with this qualification looming in the background of all I do and I'm now long past the point of looking forward to a career at the end of it. I've basically been doing the job of a solicitor but on crappier money for years now anyway so the only reason I have to look forward to qualification is more money, which I don't find that great a source of motivation. Dropping out has never been an option though and at least i'll have a job worth a lot of visa points when i want to move abroad.

I'm worried about having a bit of a breakdown when it's all finished though, i don't really know how to have a life without commitments most evenings now.
 
Bloody hell, just realised it will have been 12 years since starting my undergrad if you take it chronologically! :eek: Though I managed to take 8 months out to go travelling, and looking back at the slog, boy am I glad I made sure I did that.

Sodding off again for 3 months after I'm done, but problem is that I haven't got any head space free at all to plan ahead for it atm. :(
 
Same here. My mind is buzzing with ideas for what to fill the hole in my life with but i can't indulge myself to think about them at the moment.

Solidarity, we'll get through. Surely we'll get through?

:eek: You two are definitely on the maximum security wing of HMP Study/Revision!

I'm on a one year Transport/Transport Planning MSc more like a short sharp shock. Two more weeks and this current batch of exams will be over and then onto the dissertation. But I don't want to think about that right now.
 
Its like being bloody constipated.
uuurrrggghhh there's a little bit.
uuurrrghhhh there's a little bit more.
God I hate it.
 
I have my first lot of Uni exams tomorrow... Arggg!

'Habitat Management' & 'Biodiversity', the first of which should be fairly easy (I hope). The latter will be tough... :hmm:

Cell biology, taxanomic groupings, pseudoceleomates, triploblastic, diploblastic, rhizopoda, archeobacteria, platyhelminthes... an the like!... my brain is melting already :(

Cram stations are go! :rolleyes:

Wish me luck :D;)
