Others have given a comprehensive list. What you should NOT use are the expressions shagged out or bollixed as these are sexual in nature. They are fine in informal situations - they are not really that rude - but eyebrows would be raised if you use these expressions in the classroom or to a senior colleague. Or to anyone you need to impress.
Best list is Rod Mac - stick with his suggestions and you won't go far wrong.
Good luck with your studies.

The c'est bon thing I suppose however think bien is better in the situation. Also "tu es d'accord?" You agree or just "d'accord?" ok? D'accord is VERY useful in day to day french. Je m'en fiche is I don't care if you mean that sense or you could use "Bof" which is slang for whatever (I think that's the spelling). I would say bien. Bon is more 'yum' or agreement. I've never heard anyone say Ca a été? though. Not very sure on that :S but I suppose yeah that's how you would answer it. Bonne chance avec tout! J'espère que je t'ai aidé :)

I'd like to help, but I'm beat. I'm bushed, I'm done, I'm all tuckered out. I'm knocked out, I'm drained, I've had it, and I'm wiped out. I'm just shot. I'm so spent, I've got nothing left. I'm simply out of gas. Sorry!

Be careful where you use this as it is slang and considered vulgar many.
