Is it final year? If not don't worry about it. I'm half way through my final year exams atm and I've realised that it doesn't matter how much panic last minute revision I do, it doesn't help in the exam.. either you know it or you don't. See people frantically reading like 10 minutes before outside the room, might be able to pick up a couple marks at most doing that.

In first year I went Warehouse project with loads of mates before my exam, got absolutely cunted.. got home at 5am, drank pints of coffee while revising/sobering up. Turned up to the exam with no sleep, middle of December, in just a t-shirt. Everybody in massive coats freezing while I was in a t-shirt sweating my tits off the whole way through. Got 86% 8)

Just hired my graduation stuff.. £45 for the hire, £60 for some poxy fucking pictures. Must be having a laugh.

Metropolitan.. luckily last year was the first year in their £80m new business school, so they'll probably be generous on the marking lol, have to try show it was a good investment. I was gunna apply at the University of Manchester for post-grad but their economics students have been protesting for 2 years lol, might apply at Kingston instead.

Still baffled I've paid out £60 for a couple graduation photos. Camerons Britain.

When i got mine done, I was proper pissed to find out the degree they make you hold isn't actually a degree. It was a bit of plastic pipe with a ribbon round it.

TBF that sounds like a degree.

Hope hes made the most of it, I'm sure they're doing everything they can to improve marks to show the £80m investment was worthwhile.. one of my units we got 10% for turning up to 10 tutorials, 10% for attendance in a couple tutorials in final year :lol:

Done an exam today that was multiple choice as well. Basically handing me a first.

My degree got sent in the post because I was out of the country for the graduation thing. Not sure what happened to it, hopefully sitting in a cupboard somewhere

Just got an email from HR with the subject "Leavers Letter", shitting myself, open the attachment, says something like "Hello Gareth, we can confirm your last day with the company is May 28th". :| :| :|

Devestated. Read a little further, talks about accepting my resignation, scroll right back up to the top, different Gareth Thomas.

Thanks HR.
