Exam Avoidance

[thelibraniniquity]

While trying to ignore the "I'm so doomed, I'm so doomed, I'm so doomed" that's looping in my head at the moment, there is the rather unavoidable fact that my first exam of the semester is tomorrow afternoon/evening. There's then a further two this week, and another two next week.

Despite the not exactly copious acceptable level of notes I've generated on the Supreme Court/judiciary, Presidency and political parties, I still can't escape the feeling of doom and despair surrounding this whole sorry affair (see above mantra). Add to this, I've been struggling with Balkan Pols since I first looked at the essays questions, and me not being the type to ask for help, I've been just about coping on my own. The lack of someone I know on the same course hasn't exactly been helpful, either.

On the other hand...

I did some calculations while I was pulling university assignments out of my arse the night before they were due in writing essays back in November/December... namely that each segment of this year's assessments, either essays or exams, account for:

-- in total, only 1/3 of my degree.
-- individually, approximately 2% of my degree.

So... fluffing up most part of one semester, which accounts for 1/6 of my degree isn't going to ensure me a shite mark at the end of it all. At least... that's my reasoning, and at the worst I average a 2:2, which is still better than a bloody third, and my eventual target is a decent to high 2:1...

I think it can be done.
