12 days until my last exam and I really can't wait. I'm in my third year of a four year degree and getting really tired of Uni, plus I have big plans for when I graduate next summer and just want to put them into motion right now .

Yep, I'm definately in this procrastinating, drained, very busy, almost finshed uni group. 5 weeks to do 2 big assignments and sit two 3 hour exams and i'll be finished tertiary qualification number two. I swear I won't do this to myself again, I can barely manage study and work...but I said that last time .

Good luck to everyone at the business end of their studies. I'm gonna party so damn hard when this last lot of exams are over, I'll be able to afford to kill a few brain cells

Good luck with all your exams and assignments everyone!

I was the master procrastinator during my degree, and now I'm at uni for the second time round, I'm trying sooo hard not to waste time mucking about. As you can see from the fact that I'm posting on here, I'm not doing too well!

Todays exam went very badly indeed, and my worst module is yet to come... What's more, I'll be somewhere around Kyrgyzstan when the resits take place so I really need to hope I pass them all or the shit is going to hit the fan so to speak. Ah well, nothing I can do about it now.

Hell Yea!! Finished my last exam this morning, which was the one I've been worried about ever since I started the course but think it actually went fairly well, so I'm pretty confident I've passed all my exams meaning I can concentrate on final preperations for my trip in under 3 weeks without having to worry about coming home early to take resits!

Time to drink myself stupid and kill some of those brain cells I won't be needing for another 4 months.
