I'm finishing some notes for my tax exam next month, kinda want to get them done so I can swap them for some other notes with a mate (oh and I don't want to wake up early).
I'm almost done, then a shmoke and a sleep.

You can take notes into exams? Cheat-o-rama! So the exam is a test of how quickly you can write?
I've got the first work night blues, and it's blimming hot in t'office

No, but I need notes to read so I remember stuff and can learn it without all the fancy language they use in crappy academic journals and books. It takes about 1 hour to decipher each thing that I could probably understand in 10 minutes if explained simply.

Ah, cool beans.
Have you been hired by this firm, regardless of final results?

As far as I can tell, yes Although I want my 2:1 as I'm so close to getting it. I think I only need an average of 52.5 in my last 5 units (dissertation is 2 of these) to get a 2:1, so it should be ok anyway.

You can get a first and have a life/fun, but to be fair I know a lot of people who work far too much to get a first. As one of my lecturers put it "we're all effort averse, yet wish to get maximum reward for our efforts" In other words, I'll put in as much work as I have to
