Hi all,
Just thought i'd see who else out there is studying for up coming summer exams. It sucks. I'm so bored. Feel my pain!

Soon you will be working many hours, and you'll will dream sweet dreams of your hardest school days as "the happy time."

Ah yes...

The good ol days.

Heh, no lads, I'm not a schoolboy anymore - medical school finals part one

I am studing to,yet I judge your work is more difficult.So med school,have you cut up any cadavers or such yet,lol.

Two down, two to go.

Unfortunately they are the harder two.

Yeah man, we did that all in the first two years of the course. One year for below the neck, one for above. Fun times!

I'll never forget the smell of formalin, or how it made you worryingly hungry (nobody should feel hungry around corpses). Or cutting a female pelvis in half with a wood saw, now that was something I never thought i'd do...

Was this for your class or just "me time."

Heh,
Reminds me of the time I was eating a sammich in the back of the Ambulance with a pretty dead crispy dude on the gurney.

Its amazing what 25 months in Iraq will prepare you for lol.

There is an idea of Patrick Bateman...

Nah, purely in class time - I usually avoid the dead, and especially those over 50

I have exams in June and December. Here I have two semesters (both have different subjects), and I change over after the June holidays.

Working on my final right now.

Well, not right now, right now I'm surfing Dakka because I don't want to do it...

I have 30 days until exams... And I still have a ridiculous amount of assignments to hand in before then.... Frankly right now I hate myself for this should really be homework time but oh well.

Vive la procrastination!

Well I have my GCSEs next week. Aghh find a table and hide THEY CANT FIND YOU'R IF YOU UNDER A TABLE
After that its an 11 week holiday though So it isnt soooo bad after all
*where's a table?*
nope not feeling the pressure at all
*do you have a table?*
They will be a breeze
*give me your table*
Nowt to worry about
*give it me NOW*

In March I started my 1000 hours of self imposed 'sit down and study' for my General Practitioner examinations in April 2011.

Currently I'm at 70.

Thank goodness I finished my exams for the Spring already...Now I'm gonna have a Mayester of tests to complete...Ugh.

Medic power! I see you're from Brisbane too, I lived there when I was a kid - lovely place.

How many of those hours have been spent studying the female anatomy? But, I suppose a GP must know these things.

Yerp im studying aswell, ugh it sucks when you have armies to paint !

Dude, they're the more complex half of the species in many, many ways. I still have to revise obs and gynae this week - joy

Revise?
Yeah, I like a bit of revision.
Know what I mean, say no more, nudge nudge, know what I mean?

Yeh same here Studying for my War Studies finals.

Saying that I have an exam today on Maritime Warfare, best go brush up on my Mahan and U-Boat warfare.

Then on Thursday I have an exam on Middle-East politics, still once thats over i'm finished from university and have to become a normal person like Frazzled describes, i'm not looking forward to it.

War studies? Mate, I never got offered that one... Preparing you for a career as a lecturer/teacher/academic/world leader? Or just for the lolz

Its quite a good course combines warfare/politics/philosophy etc into one course, you see that's the problem I now face, what the hell do I do when I leave, I mainly want to be a history teacher, but that's another few years of study and I most definitely want a break from learning stuff (I didn't take a year out I went straight to uni from college) but a politician seems like a good lifestyle to me.

Anyone fancy voting me in as next Prime Minister?

Teacher sounds like a good option I think - I have a few mates training at the moment. Lots of holiday! Plus, my history teacher was a dude.

it really is true what they say about a good teacher having a big influence on the pupil - I'm one of few people I know who has a real interest in history (we did WWI and II, Cold War, Communism, Cuban missile crisis etc at GCSE)

Exams? Should have done an arts course. All we did is smoke weed, play call of duty and watch family guy all day untill we had to hand in some coursework, in which case we waited untill the eleventh hour and found out we had a word processor installed on our computers.

Believe me, i've thought that myself! Then again, I look at those that did, many of whom don't have jobs, and I think it'll be worth it in the end

Can't argue with that, going by where a few of my uni friends are right now I was fiarly lucky to get a job in what i trained for.

I'm done with Academic Finals, but I'm sitting for the Ohio Bar Exam at the end of July, so I need to learn 3 years of law in the next 2.5 months.

I've got my GCSE's coming up but afterwards I have a loooooooooooooooong holiday. Whoop!!!!
