I suppose that depends on the individual.
When I was at Manchester Uni, a m8 of mine started revising for his finals during the Easter hols (that's about 3 months before the exams :shock:

) .... me and another m8 revised for each paper the night before (that was some serious cram revision lol :oops:

).

That might kinda explain why he got a first class honours degree and me and my m8 got a third lol :roll:

Yes :lol:

I think e-bayism should rule from now on. (he who bids last wins)
The best marks given to the one who finishes his project closest to the deadline time regardless of ability, skill or content. If your out by a second....no banana :twisted:

"If it weren't for deadlines, nothing would get done."

I don't know who said that. I do know, though, that John Shanahan (not to be confused with John Lenahan) said, "Deadlines are the mothers of invention."

Yep

Haha, nice to know others think as I do. I have two exams tomorrow and I'm sitting here, posting and practising my Hindu Shuffle.

Meh, I'm sure I'll pass anyway.

A2 levels?

good luck

heh heh heh

by **Lyncho** » Jun 5th, '07, 20:14

Thanks man, yeah, I'm doing A2s this year. Got 11 exams in total. :shock:

It's a ****. Can't wait until the last one is over though, I'll have the whole summer to doss around, practice magic, earn some money, get drunk, etc etc.

All the stuff that school gets in the way of.

I think I'm the king of procrastination. I once wrote an entire essay for Latin 15 minutes before it was due. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but that takes talent.

by **Beardy** » Jun 5th, '07, 20:20

haha - nice. well this is me last exam before me A2 course starts!

and 15 mins? pah! I managed a history one in ten mins and still managed a B

by **monker59** » Jun 5th, '07, 20:23

You may have done yours in ten minutes and gotten a B, but I did mine in fifteen and got an A+!

by **Beardy** » Jun 5th, '07, 20:25

yeh...well...i only had ten mins left

Douglas Adams once said he loved deadlines - especially that whooshing noise they make as they fly by.

I have a theory that work behaves like a gas, expanding to fit the exact space you have to complete it. I may write a small monograph on the subject...

by **Lady of Mystery** » Jun 6th, '07, 12:12

When I was at uni I was always up until 4am in the morning a night before the deadline to get everything finished. I always used to tell myself that I'd get it done in better time next time, but it never happened.

by **Beardy** » Jun 6th, '07, 12:35

thats what I did with my drama coursework - up till 4am, then finished it 3 mins before deadline

ah well.....15 pages left still...decided to wait by the door for my four new magic dvds and surf TM than do it...and im off to the pub tonight

ah well...it *will* get done, one way or another...
