the Impending Doom

There's only a week to go until study leave begins, but that doesn’t mean that the exam period starts then.

For me, the impending Doom of exams starts this coming Monday.

On Monday morning I have my Computing COMP1 Practical exam. This basically consists of a small amount of theory, paired with a set of tasks to code into a supplied program. I'm good at coming up with programming solutions, so this should be a breeze; the following Friday morning contains the Computing COMP2 Theory paper.

The papers I’m worried about are the maths CORE3 and CORE 4 as the topic they cover are difficult and I know I won’t get my B target. The physics, Decision Maths, and Systems papers are OK, but I still worry about them to a degree. I also have a Maths Mechanics re-sit, which the only problem with last time was that the questions were lethal.

Even though it’s supposed to be study leave, I’m going to enjoy myself a bit, I’m going to be ordering some trading cards to improve my game, so that during the revision breaks I’ll have, I'll be able to go out and play against the community that gathers regularly in the town library.

After buying those cards, I won’t be buying anything for a while, as I’ll be using any money I get for putting money back into my bank account, in order to re-fill it after buying my laptop.
