The Term So Far

It’s only been a week so I can’t swear to anything yet, but my feelings regarding my modules this term are: confidence.

I can’t swear by this either because I am (regrettably) not a mathematical genius, but things you do in your final year are worth significantly more than things you do in your second year. This means that in the case of modules available to both second and final year students, assuming they are significantly easier than final year only modules (which they are), you’re better off doing them in the final year where your higher marks will have more impact on your degree as a whole.

Fortunately, through pure co-incidence because I happened to take a module or two in my second year which qualified as “higher” level instead of “intimediate” level, I was able to have half of my modules this year be easier ones. This I feel bodes well for me.

So far I have been learning stuff which either I’m naturally very good at (programming) or stuff I already know. I have already done a piece of programming coursework in a language I’ve never done before which is due in two or three weeks time.

It strikes me that all this might come off as quite arrogant, but what did you expect: I’m awesome.
