Computer Troubles

Any Fireplacian who knows me reasonably well will know about this.

In January, I got the entire Command and Conquer videogame series for 999 bucks only, in what I'd describe as the bestest deal ever, even though my dad disagrees to this day.

The problem is; my computer does not have a *working* DVD player, and I need a video card. I can't get these stuff until my exams are over.

I've been waiting for six friggin' months - one whole fucking semester, dammit!! I can hardly wait for July 5 - no more exams.

But, that's a long way to go. I have my second lab exam on the 17th, and I'm still scared of the viva. Yeah.

*sigh* Anyhow, I need to add a few links. Will do that now.

Edit: Why should you screw up so often, Blogger?   

Experimentation

I'm playing around with this baby at the moment - changing layouts and stuff. This site is neat - much easier to use than LJ. I abandoned an ancient blog of mine on that site because I couldn't get the hang of it at all.

In other news; there's one other person on this site who's interested in F/R and his lovely forums. It's Tersa. XDDD

Now, I think I should link my FFN profile and add some more interests ...    

Blogging is so much fun ... XDD

Lab Exam

Today's lab exam went off pretty well - most of it, anyway.

The minor experiment went off without too many hitches. Unfortunately, my hands were shaking when the examiner was watching me. Yeah, I get nervous at absolutely weird times ... o_O

As for the major experiment, it was acceptable.

Just before the exam, my classmates who'd taken it before me had warned me about the viva-voce. They called it "screwy", which made me give up about scoring well in that section.

In the end, it wasn't that bad. Half of the questions were tough and seemingly out of nowhere. At least I could answer the remaining questions. Phew, that was a relief!

One more lab examination to go ... and I heard from our teacher that the examiner is a tough lady ...

I hope the viva won't be shitty ...

First Post

Well, this is my first post.

I have a lab exam tomorrow, and I'm not that nervous. I don't usually feel nervous the day be fore an exam ...

I feel nervous on the day of the exam, especially an hour before it.
