So This Is How It Feels
Thursday, January 26, 2006
...to have just finished the last academic exam you will ever do in your life. Unless of course you fail and have to do it again, or unless the person in charge of the papers spontaneously combusts on the way back to the office, or you decide to do a post graduate course. Apart from that, this is how it feels.
Exams usually go well for me. I have mentioned this before, but I have to say it again because this one went as well, if not better than, the last one. To be fair, I should do well in a web design exam. Explaining how to use a search engine isn't my idea of the Crystal Maze. I am happy, elated, overjoyed to know that this is truly the end of revision and lesser so, revision sessions (which invariably turn out to become course socials).
Tonight therefore, I will be celebrating, along with Jim, DDS, Rosie, Lianne and other people who were sensible enough to pick the BA route (even if the decision originally gave me plenty of gyp).
Mario unfortunately chose to pursue Materials and so will still be working away until Monday. Poor sod.
Yesterday evening was spent trawling web dictionaries for definitions that would never show up in the exam anyway, but better safe than sorry. I also read through endless, mind-numbing pages on how you should Google, and why 1 minute 10 seconds in a microwave is actually longer than 1 minute 11 seconds. Don't ask. Go look it up.
If things academic are going my way, real digital things are not. For instance, after downloading iTunes 6.0.2 I have since discovered that my old iTunes scripts have stopped working and I can't skip tracks from my keyboard any more. I have also failed to set up POP email access on my Yahoo account; several times.
At least I can bask in the cold while my housemates get on with the rest of their exams.
