Think about it this way. In two days' time, we'll be done with it and won't ever have to think about it again.

Amen for that.

Well basically, i've summarised the whole course 3 times, and then i chose 5 topics and summarised them all twice (lectures + readings).
I chose Tiberius Gracchus' Tribunate, Sulla + Marius (im pretty sketchy on this one), Elections (did my assignment on it), The Augustan age (i dont know how broad the questions are gunna be, so i just summarised everything to do with Augustus i could find), and the 'A noble death?' suicide one.

EDIT: what ones did you choose?

Theres only one person who i really dont know jack shit about at all and that's Pompey.

Were you there when they did that 'elections in practice' lecture? How the hell did we elect Caesar and Sulla?

I'm doing Sulla/Marius (which I should be OK on), elections (did the essay, so that should be fine) and gladiators (haven't started reading yet). If there's a general question on optimates/populares, I might do that instead of gladiators.

As for the election lecture... basically a few people in each of the 'centuries' seized control and apparently selected the two candidates they were familiar with, despite the fact that Sulla's only policy was proscribing a quarter of the course. We should've elected the Gracchi. Or Crassus, I love Crassus. (Yes, I'm such an ancient history nerd that I make declarations of love about former consuls. Shut up.)

I was in one of the centuries that didnt get bribed (no chocolate ). The guy who was Cato came up and said 'Since im Cato, im not going to bribe you, but you have to vote for me'. Then some lady called out that we voted for Cato and Caesar (good combination... considering they fought endlessly).

Ah, that's PhysForm done. I was so sleepy--yes, my fault for burning the midnight oil over stuvac because I'm a night owl--but I'm pretty sure I passed the exam. Only thing was, the supervisor kept interrupting us to correct all these mistakes on our paper--dodgy! And we were in McLaurin Hall, and the really strong winds that came rattled the windows really badly--fortunately I was closest to the doors so the windows didn't really bother me too much.

Yay--now the rest of my exams are in the afternoon. I have PSPC on Wednesday, Pharm Prac on Friday (need to get cracking with that one), and Med Chem the Thursday after, which obviously I haven't even thought about yet. Thank god that PSPC and Pharm Prac are all MCQs so that's alright, and they share similar content (cardiovascular and endocrinology) so in effect I'm revising one and a half subjects at the moment.

Woo, 85 for my ancient history tute participation. Which is good news, since it's worth 20% for some reason. That brings my pre-exam average to 82%, so I'm guaranteed a (raw) distinction provided I get 68 or better in the exam.

Acct 1B exam was quite easy, although i lost 8 marks because of a retarded error. grrr. could have gotten an HD overall.

Predicted final marks:
ECOF1001: 86
ACCT1002: 77

anthropology did not go well
Apparently my participation mark for ANHS1005 isnt up yet.
