I also have my exams coming up soon. All i have done is to organize my notes out into different folders.....gives me the false sense that i have been revsing 
I have business studies unit 5 (coursework replacement) on thursday morning
I got a business exam on thursday for the Earnshaw Engineering thing. I also sort stuff out and last week I spent an hour copying up some notes someone lent me last year then I returned them to him

I think whole bike as the payback is the quickest and the arr was highest
im unsure, the new engine costs less, easier and will be more efficient with less risk
the new machien however costs more, less efficient producing it and is highly risky both financially and through marketing but has a big pay back

she got lucky and they gave her a reduced offer from AAA to ABB as she has been doing a law thing that that uni since school. it's a good job because i got think she would have got AAA.

up here exams dont really seem to count for fuck all, if you phone up the uni, ask nicely and promise to be good they will most likely let you in
