This is the sort of post which doesn’t make you feel sorry for me yesterday But it’s honesty, nothing else. I try not to underestimate or overestimate my own ability.

I don’t like sympathy anyway, i shouldn’t need sympathy. If i fail an exam it’s because i was too lazy and stupid to study for it. That’s what it boils down to.

But today i had a databases exam. Worth 50% of my overall marks for that module. I’d already got like 38% or something so technically i’d already passed.

But i walked out 40 minutes after getting the exam (exam is 2 hours long). In fact, i was finished after about 30 minutes and if i really wanted to i could have completed it all in 10 minutes, i had to re-read some of the questions as i thought they were ridiculously easy. The supervisor wouldn’t let me go straight away though, she had to check with another supervisor whether or not i could go that early in to an exam

It was in MS Access. Creating a few forms from databases we were given. We normally build things by hand etc… mainly because i don’t think the lecturers know how to use the in-built wizards

But i just used the wizard to do all the work for me It wasn’t perfect by any means, but i got comfortably 85/100 for it, probably more. I couldn’t have been bothered trying to suss out some little issues i came across as i knew i’d already passed and there’s no incentive for me to do any better than that.

I’ve passed tomorrow’s computer systems exam already so it means i’ve cruised through everything bar maths. I’ll probably see 60′s and 70′s in all my modules when the results come out, and a 20 or 30 something for maths

In fact, as i write this the exams are still on… and i’ve driven home which took 50 minutes, had lunch and had time to write this blog post
