    Exams Nuts
In summary, although it can be tough, living in the library can be a fun and exciting experience if you are willing to make the most of it.

Anyone familiar with the term 'living in the library'?

Because right now I feel like it. It absolutely, completely and utterly sucks. My whole social life is worst than a snails, and even lots of time in revision I can't seem to get through my damn questions in O-chem nor on lindemann mechanism. And I feel cheated how some people can get every question in tutorials right without breaking a sweat, while me I have to work and struggle me arse off to do..well.. absolutely anything at all. *sigh*.

Just a rant, that's all. Thanks for listening.

Hey I know how you feel. My weekdays suck. I work for nine hours a day, then come home, eat a quick dinner, and start studying and working on homework until 3 am, when I finally pass out.

What? Isn't that all there is in life to live for?

Of course, we all are!

Chroot sleeps in a cot over in Periodicals.

Evo has a nice place down in Fiction.

Mk owns a Timeshare down near the microfilm.

And I hold Bar-B-Q's down in Reference Materials:-p

What section do you hail from fellow library neighbor?:biggrin:

Don't worry, exams will be over soon enough. You'll make it!

Yeah, exams = stress. The main motivator for me is, i don't want to take that class again!. Make sure to think about it when you are procrastinating...

What degree are you pursuing, Warren? I can empathize a bit with working long days and going to school, but I don't think my schedule is nearly as harsh as yours. (Although, I got to say, my weekends get chewed up quite a bit in the research lab, and my bike is rusting in the trunk of my car:frown: )

Hang in there, baby!
