Ecology down, two to go!
Paper wasn't that hard; I had lots to write about, but there were bits here and there which I couldn't quite recall in the midst of exam flurry. As it turned out, there were 2½ 'winner questions'. Overall verdict: quite happy.
But if only they'd give us reclining seats and let us type answers into a laptop...
"We're smarter and more creative lying down than standing up," or so says a researcher at the Aussie Nat'l University. His findings will be published in the journal
Cognitive Brain Research and relates to "the difference in brain chemistry, specifically the release of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline, when lying down or standing up". Source:
ABC (FYI, the 'A' in the abbrev stands for 'Australian' and not what might have been otherwise assumed!)

Lying down with laptops? That'll be good. Then I could restructer my exam q's. I find that I fall asleep when lying down revising. But revising when you've just woken up and reached for the revision notes is fine tho.
Suggest it to Denis Wright.
The laptop idea is cool, although it will be hassle to implement - imagine the lecturers having to sort out 100 odd comps and new passwords so ppl dont cheat and store info onto comps beforehand......
Better seats a must have IMO. But seriously Xi lying down?!?! I have never revised/worked lying down, it seems unusual, although in the quiet study area there was a biologist revising while lying down - i thought that strange!!
