Uniblog 2: Exams Part 1

I had a month-long break from uni recently. The term ended for Christmas, so I retreated to my bedroom for a while. I celebrated Christmas and New Years, got back to my blog, listened to too much music.

I didn't really revise, and I had exams right after the break. I did one week of study, consisting mostly of past papers (I'm lucky my uni provides some) and rewatching some lectures. Oh, and those awfully boring spectroscopy blogposts I wrote up. There is a fourth one about inertia which I ended up taking down because I completely misunderstood the topic, but it's still on RSS I believe. I'm sorry for that. 

I had three exams in all:

  • I failed exam 1. The only way I'd have done well is if I blacked out midway and my spirit wrote it for me. At best I'm barely passing. Good thing is at uni, a pass is 40%, but odds are I'll maybe miss that.
  • I'm not sure about exam 2. It was only worth 30% of my module and was half an hour long, all multiple choice. So maybe I did very well by accident. But I'm nonplussed about it.
  • I think exam 3 went well because a third of it was basically physics. I should have studied physics in the end. Might get a first, so at least 70%. That's how confident I am.

I'll most likely have to resit exam 1 in the summer, which is a shame. I don't have time to go back to that module, I hate it so much and the questions make no sense. Even worse is that it snowed on the day of exam 1 and I was so annoyed with how it went that I couldn't enjoy it.
