It&#8217;s now close to the end of February, which is crazy. I&#8217;ve been on the second semester for a number of weeks now, and have already given in two pieces of coursework. I had one of them returned today, so that shows just how fast this semester is going and how much work it is!<\/p>\n<p>So I took exams at the end of January &#8211; 6 of them(!) and they&#8217;re now over, which is good. I thought three of them &#8211; Theory of Computing, Operating Systems and Professional and Legal issues &#8211; went ok. The other three &#8211; HCI, Scheme, which I forget the actual module name of, and Software Analysis and Design &#8211; were hard or just horrible papers. I&#8217;m very glad they&#8217;re over, though we apparently get our results at the end of this week or start of next, which is a terrifying thought for sure. I&#8217;m not sure if I want them or not, I just know results are scary. Why does this not get easier with age? I&#8217;ve taken exams every year since I was little, I should be used to results day by now.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not expecting the workload to get any easier, so life as I know it is likely to get very busy very quickly.
