Day 7

The exam today went about as well as I expected; not great, but not bad, either.

As I said in an earlier post, I needed to get about 85% of the marks to get a 7 for that course. There were ten questions, and each question was worth 10 marks. There are three questions I'm only expecting to get half-marks for, and that's my 15% gone. I'll probably lose another 5-10% on errors in the other 7 questions.

So, I've probably failed my "Challenge Accepted" to get full 7's this semester. Fuck. That said, I don't get my marks until December.

I got a call from a lady from the British visa processing office in Manila today. I think she just called to confirm some details. This means that (a) it's running on schedule to get back to me before I leave, and (b) it's already being processed - i.e., today might count as a "processing day." That would be brilliant if it did. It's excruciating how valuable even one day is to my visa application schedule.

Anyway, I'm still going to try and get 7's on the final two exams on Tuesday and Thursday next week.

Tomorrow and Saturday, I'll be finishing up on the content I didn't catch in the last few weeks of teaching.

'til tomorrow.
