I'm oh so tense, and never tenser, could all go a bit Frank Spencer
Well, after not having managed to start revision before Friday, the good old-fashioned way of taking drugs with my lucozade and not sleeping managed to copy up all the notes for Numerical Analysis by Monday. And it's struck me how flimsy the module is: the material's rather straightforward, and, though I've got no examples to do, save past papers, which I'm saving for next week, the fact I answered so often in the tutorials that I got asked to let others answer can only be a good thing. Or it could just mean I'm about the only one who actually is impulsive enough to speak in tutorials, which is definitely verging on true. Anyway, I was looking over the course, and I realised that this module had a total of 18 lectures. Taking into account there was also a project to do, which took me all of 8 hours, mainly ironing out problems with MAPLE, I'd reckon that with 24 hours to read the material, I'd easily be fine, which is odd since I can never really remember anything about the course till I'm reminded, which is rather unsettling. In fact, if I were to give someone who'd done the prerequiste honours module in the first semester, and give them two days to learn it, they might well be able to. Admittedly, the person I considered giving the challenge to is Nicholas, who's a genius, but it seems a bit light.
I normally wouldn't complain about the module being too easy, except that this semester's grades won't count towards my honours grade, and there's someone different taking it next year, so it won't be as easy... straightforward. I still fully expect to too badly, of course, but I don't go too well with exams.
Anyway, since Friday afternoon I've spent about 32 hours revising, and copied 100 sides of A4, and had a social life, or rough approximation thereof. Still, everything seems just about on course. As long as I don't try to work out why I'm overcrediting myself with non-counting honours modules, and revising every exam but the two I'll have most trouble with. Or contemplate the concept of 100% examination modules, and how that's not really what's safest for me. Or think about certain parts of my personal life. Damn.
Anyway, I've about 200 pages left of Infinite Jest, so should finish it by exam finish, and everything else seems cool. Oh, and I'm now going to San Francisco this summer, to the wedding of wongchungbang and whinknee. Which should be cool.
