Obviously I aren't good at thinking up blog titles
I am disappointed I let my 22nd post (the meaning of meanings), my 42nd post (the meaning of life), and now my 82nd post (the meaning of Murphy) go past uncelebrated. So I shall use this post as a joyous tribute to those milestones. Let us take a minutes silence to think of these wondorous numbers...

Thats enough.
I have had my first 2 exams and now have to wait 7 days until my last one. And its going to be a doozy 7 and half hours in the glade (one of the engineering computer suites) starting at 9:30 am and going until 5:30 pm (I know this totals to 8 hours but we get a half hour lunch break), we are given a process and told to design a BFD (block flow diagram), a PFD (process flow diagram), and giving a cost analysis for the process (I do not know whether we have to do P & ID (process and instrumentation diagrams) for it as well but sincerely hope not). The thought of a 7.5 hour exam is quite scary and an unpleasant prospect. Ah well, c'est la vie.
Regarding my first exam it was bad firstly half an hour before the exam started I could not find my calculator. 20 mins before my exam started I still could not find my calculator but had found my brothers. 15 mins before my exam started I could not get my brothers calculator to work (trying all tricks to get it to do so, on button, reset button, whacking it against the desk, replacing the batteries, and combinations of the aforementioned). 5 mins before the exam started I was in the 3rd Pro Design Office and saw a calculator sitting on a class mates desk, he won't have an exam now, excellent, and it worked. Into the exam half exam done 'oh dear' (maybe slighty different language than that) the questions asked in the second half were exactly those that I had glossed over in study. Ah well, c'est la vie.
My second exam was fantastic (I know I shouldn't use that sort of language about an exam but it does convey my joy). First off it was completely open book, we got to take in both of our text books, our notes from the year, and a cheat sheet. The only things not allowed were cellphones (since one of our class mates started receiving binary signals from Chris the lectrurer :P) and talking. The questions were brilliant just the sort of stuff I like, ie here are some equations to these apply some equations and rules that you were taught in class and tell me the answer. So simple. I'm loving it.
Anyway good luck to any of you who still have exams and catch ya round. Au revoir.
