More Examination!

Thursday was not the day of my exam, it was today (Friday).

Thursday involved very little revision because
    1) It was Java
    2) The test questions are in such a way that revision is actually of very little use, you can either program in Java or you can't

In the evening I went to see Pirates. I enjoyed the film and am very glad I went to see it, I didn't think it was anything overly amazing but I did really enjoy it and find it both very funny and mostly exciting. I would strongly recommend people that are unsure about it to go see it.

Today I went to the Exam and was done very quickly, I then went home. I'm pretty sure I did very well.

Huw came over and we played Warcraft 3 as a break from revision.

I also have my house for next year 100% sorted!

Examinationism!

Tuesday involved almost nothing but revision, normally there's some warcraft 3 and WoA in there but no, all revision (okay, 5 minutes of WoA while I ate breakfast). Today was the day of the exam. It was hard but I think that I have passed it, I have doubts that I've done amazingly well however I wrote more than some people and normally I write too little so that is surely a good sign.

After Prayer lunch myself, Greg and Sam Groves (back from placement for a short holiday) went to see Spiderman 3. I've never been a big spiderman fan, the films are good but not my favourites. I felt that spiderman 3 was "just another spiderman film". I am glad I went to see it, but wouldn't see it again and probably wouldn't have seen it if not for Sam and Greg going to see it and I wanted to relax after my exam.

Stuff

I've been sleeping quite badly over the last few days so while I was going to blog yesterday, I felt tired and decided to skip blogging in the hope that I would sleep better. It didn't work amazingly well.

Saturday didn't involve a lot happening, nor did Friday. Sunday it rained a lot and we had lunch at the Thatched House, hmmm, thinking about it I didn't do a vast amount on Sunday either. After the evening service Andy talked to me about a very low level operating system used on Mainframes called "zos". We wondered a bit about why I'd never heard of it, particularly why not in my Software Systems course this semester.

Well, I have no found the reason, it's because Martin Cripps isn't mentioning any operating system except in passing. We've covered things that are used in zos but not specific to zos itself. Incidentally, that exam is on Wednesday.
