Did my maths exam today. For those who care to know, this blog was created this weekend as a specific means of avoiding revising for this test, but I reckon I passed it anyway. It won't have been done with any style, it won't be so much a pass as a you-didn't-quite-fail, but I don't care. It's an 'optional' module I was forced to take, I've hated the subject since quite literally my first lesson in reception, and it's worth 10 credits out of 120. I can make up the difference.
Of course, if I don't get a 2:1 plus this year, my parents are going to slay me. Despite the fact it's formative year and doesn't count. "Waste of time, us paying for you to go to university if you come out with a useless degree!" And if it's not a first by the end, I'll keep on being a family disappointment.
It'll get there, I think. Next year I get to choose all my modules and can pick ones I'm good at/care about/can blag, soooo...
Back to the test.
I literally found out about it last Monday by accident after hearing some guys talking in my lecture. I thought it was next term, and I also thought it wouldn't be 100% of the module mark. Oops. Possibly attending the lectures would have helped with that. Either way, I was super nervous just before I sat the exam. I guess I didn't do any exams in maths for years, so I didn't know what to expect. I know I fluffed the first question and the last one I had not a bloody clue, but the others were fine. There wasn't a ton of maths, a lot of it was writing about statistics. This made me extremely happy. I hate numbers, can't do maths to save my life any more. However, if my past results are anything to go by, I'm really rather good at blagging essays on things I know next to nothing about orz.
I was so happy after it was over, I actually skipped most of the way back to college. Relief! And then had to work on my genetics assignment. I cracked the hardest part of it, just have to write it up now. And pack up my room. And make my sorry way home for Easter.
It's going to be one hell of a week. No room for writing at all!
I think I'm going to start my novel this Easter, though. I'll have tons of revision to avoid, anyway - and plenty of shenanigans with both uni and home friends for blog material. I'm thinking this blog is going to be for basically whatever - whenever I feel like writing it. It's good practice, right? Maybe I can use it when I have writer's block to try and get rid of it. I'll post quite a lot of writing related stuff, too - writing tips I find useful, stuff about my story and characters, my progress... but also stuff I find funny, and probably stuff that makes me angry. Like current affairs.
I don't know what anyone's going to get out of this blog, besides me. I guess I don't mind if no one reads it - hahahaha, it's probably going to end up super shaming anyway. But it'll be useful for me, and fun. Maybe it'll encourage me to not give up on this. And that's the important thing.
Memories, I suppose. Hey, uni's been pretty cool so far. I'd like to be able to remember it all someday (excessive alcohol consumption doesn't really help with longevity of recall OTL. Hey, I've been working this term, it was just first term and fresher's that was mental.)
The next couple of entries will probably just be random pages for the menu bar, because this template means for some reason actual pages don't work and I have to do them as entries. Tch.
