Exams

Okay, I had one exam a few hours ago, I have another in 45 minutes. Turns out this isn't multiple choice. I have more practical knowledge than any of these people taking the course, yet everyone else has memorised acronyms and protocol hierarchies, so they're going to get higher marks. It's the old useless knowledge over actual knowledge that bothered me when I was young. It wasn't that way with the other exams like in Technical Support or Programming. Well, it looks like I will have to resit this course, because as they are not multiple choice, like I was expecting, it will be essay questions on the OSI 7 Layer Model and things like that. Anyway, that's how the Fundamentals of Data Management exam was, I was disappointed with that, but my second coursework was ok, so I shouldn't have to resit it, I don't think.

Man, I'm glad none of this counts to the degree. I think I may wow them with my English skills with the fact that I can string a whole sentence together.

I'm giving Julia a lift transporting her stuff with Dan later, hopefully she'll hate me less.

And oooh, oooh! I got a second interview at Waitrose! This Friday at 11:30. So far my interview:success ration has been 100%, so if my ratio holds I'll be fine. But I may choose to work at the Sushi place instead because the atmosphere is nicer, it seems less bureaucratic and cold.

Well, time to go to the exam. Thanks, Blog, you wasted the last 10 minutes of revising time.
