Anyone got any exams coming up?

I have my HNC finals starting next week, a bit nervous but I seem to have passed all the mocks without thinking too hard...

Anyway if any of you do, good luck

hi memly,

good luck with the exams!

I've just finished all my exams, doing a part time msc, but have one lab assignment to finish, so few more weekends stuck in a computer lab, end in sight though....

Cheers Moke.

Normally the thought of Glasto gets me through this period.... but thats not propelling me this year for obvious reasons!

What were you studying then Moke?
If it involves computer labs, then it sounds pretty hard.

Good luck with it though.

I'm doing a masters in advanced technologies in electronics....bit of a nightmare to be honest, i need the course to become a qualified engineer, but work in communications so don't really deal with electronics too much anymore, but best course i could get in bristol that was part time...

i was exactly the same with studying, usually would finish a week or so before glastonbury, always something to look forward to at the end of all the effort.

not sure if you have heard of it, but a lot of us are heading to serbia for the exit festival this year - a couple of mates went last year and loved it, it's held in an old fortress in serbia's 2nd largest city (i think). i've not really been to any festivals outside of england or ireland, so bit of a change. we managed to get tickets and flights to budapest for around the same price as the glasters ticket. line up looks a bit small at the moment, but not too bad, and they seem to be adding to it fairly regularly.

Sounds interesting (if I could read serbian

)

I have not commited myself to any festies this year due to a 4 month sabbatical from work.
I plan to do a bit of travelling so any spare funds I may acquire are going into my piggy bank.

Examwise I've got the same ones as last year to study to (the entrance exams to study Asian and African culture languages in Helsinki university). My chances of getting in are very slim though, since only about 13% of appliers make it and I'm very lazy these days when it comes to studying.

Yeah and good luck to your exams from me too.

For those who care......... I passed!
I'm all engineered up now.... until the next onslaught of courses they've put me on (when I get back next year...)

Kvagga- How did you get on? Are you in?

Mem: Congrats!

Oh, and I also got in!

Now I just have a tough time deciding whether I'll choose to study about the culture of South- or East-Asia...
