MrMaycock.com The blog of a nineteen year old university student

The past three weeks.

Well. They've been full of ups and downs.

Basically exams the first week. Not helped by the chest infection I had.

In a nutshell;

• General Studies ended up with me giving up due to not understanding the questions, plus the lack of care I have for the qualification.
• My ICT resit, which I think went really, really well.
• The Thursday afterwards brought the joy of Mathematics for Core 3, which went badly.

Next up were people's birthdays.

Jimmy's Birthday meal at Jimmy Spices was highly enjoyable. So much food. That was tasty and infinite. I'd like to go back, I must say.

And then Lozza's Birthday Party at Lozza's house was fun. Lots of fun photos. Fun times.

However, after these fun events, I was back into exams.

This week of exams,  in a nutshell;

• My Statistics Resit was awesome, I got lots of marks, and was overall happy with the paper. However, damn you Rohit.
• Physics doesn't warrant a conversation.

So overall, for the five exams in January, the only worthwile ones were the ones that I had underperformed in before. This does not bode well for PA07/W, PA07/P, PA10, C4, M1 [maybe, I have most of the prior knowledge from PA02 (that I failed previously)], and ICT4.

Between Physics on Wednesday and being back to school on Monday, I spent most of my time with an open (well, hidden) piece of ICT coursework. I also went for a meal, spent a day out with the family, and slept a lot. To be honest, I could have been a bit more productive.

Then we're into last week, which has been the first full week back for a while. Which is actually a good thing, as out of the last six EMA payments, I recieved one. I hope so much that I get this EMA bonus this week, or else I can't do anything. Crap, forgot about Leaver's Hoodie Money. =(

Anyway, my lack of productivity and attendance was hardly noticed, as I'm now caught up with everything new started in Mechanics and Core 4, got all the materials I need for Physics and started to catch up on ICT coursework and timed exam work. Which, according to the time plan I started three hours ago, I'm already ahead of myself.

Also last week, I have determined I have many frees. With General Studies being pushed off, I have a total of 22 hours every two weeks with no scheduled lessons. Good fun.

I also set my highest QWOP score of 70.6m which is running properly, and an Impossible Quiz 1 score of Q91.

Exciting party in the form of Jay's party yesterday, which was awesome. Lots of choones.

One thing I have identified in the past week is how much work, and by work I mean ICT, I have to do before I go to Las Vegas in nine days. I should probably start Task Five, actually, as it's due in today. Oh well, I fails. At least I have some Galaxy, Skins and QI to keep me entertained as I think about starting working. Mebbeh.
