Exam Results Being Returned Next Week… Tense Moments

It’s been a good while since my last blog entry so I thought I would delight you with an update!

So Christmas has been and gone which meant a nice piece of programming coursework which I thoroughly enjoyed writing. The two weeks after the Christmas break marked the end of semester one, which can only mean one thing… Exams!

Being my first set of formal exams at university I didn’t really know what to expect and more importantly how much revision to do. I probably should have started my revision earlier, at least I know that now for the summer exams. I made the schoolboy error of not reading the instructions at the start of one of my exams and ended up answering all the questions on the paper. Fortunately the lecturer is forgiving and will give me the best mark out of the all the questions.

I’m now in semester two and the modules are more focused on the actual computing which I’m finding much more interesting. The exam results are being returned next week which I am surprisingly looking forwards to.

I think we are currently sitting in the calm before the storm of the coursework which is going to be set next week. That should keep me busy I guess…

On a non academic note housing seems to be the hot topic at the start of year. I have decided to live with my block mates from my halls and we have signed the contract to a six bed house to the southern side of Portswood, can’t wait to move in!
