    You make a good point. Pretty crazy that the library is open that late! Have another cider or five!

    Is it a library at the school, as well as the canteen and shops? Cool! Is it a really big place?

    Hmmn, no, not big, it's a tiny University really. Do you not have a shop and library and canteen where you study?

    Oh no, it is a really tiny university. Nothing like the tv ones. It is one building with one floor.

    Oh, I lied, there is a tiny eating area with an overpriced sandwich and coffee shop. My bad :p

    what the fuck? Ha ha, sounds shit. Do you just use the public library then?

    Nope :p I do everything online. The libraries of most universities in the whole state are linked up though so if you need a journal article you just search for it and they'll email you a copy or they'll ship any book to the library of your choice for you to pick up. All done from home :thumb:

    I find working from home really difficult, unless it's watching a movie, that's a bit easier. I can read journals online from home, but still go to the library to do it usually- that's where my study head is at. And books, I like them, I like knowing my way around the aisles and picking up books, books I know are there and have read before or random ones from random places. Random is good. *thumbs up smiley that you did*

    You'll have to take me to a trip of a library one day! I get all confused and scared by the randomness and so much stuff!

    Working from school is probably easier. Less things to get distracted from. I usually only tend to write 1 line and then get up and do stuff... unless it is the night before of course, then I get hammered and sit up till 5am writing :p

    I write great papers drunk and at the last minute. This semester was the first time when I didn't... ended up getting a B in one of my classes :\ Won't be doing that again!

    I suggest the technique ;)

    My day would be perfect if my ex girlfriend phoned me up and told me she wanted me back....

    Sigh. I've been feeling so much better about things recently, but I think today is definately an off day. :(

    Not particularly, I mean I can retake the exam, but the gap in my knowledge and the exam was massive. And I will need to pass on retake or I fail my degree. The module has been so badly taught that I've learnt all the wrong stuff in a sense. I know I'm not the only one who didn't like it... when I left the exam after an hour (it was a three hour paper) one of my coursemates had been taken out the exam hall crying. Loads of people have been complaining about it but the lecturer has just been a bit condascening.

    It just seems all for naught now *sigh*

    Hell man, that sounds terrible. It might be worth speaking the Student Union to see if they can help find a replacement lecturer to give some advice on reading and some tutorial time for a resit?

    If nothing else could you consider a personal tutor to help study for the resit - your department should have doctoral students, maybe if 5 of you got together a few quid each you could find someone. I know most PhD students I know are always desperate for cash?
