College Repeats

My college exams repeats were never going to be plain sailing given that Maths and Stats were two of the subjects that I’m repeating! I’ve never enjoyed either subject and would prefer to have a dog lock onto my ankle than sit down and do calculations! All I’ve ever aimed for is that damn 40 percent… the magic, if not less than average number that will see me propel into second year of college!

I most definitely did myself no favours yesterday morning for my 9am Stats exam. Before I went to bed, I decided to have a look at a few notes and see if I could remember anything only to find out that I didn’t actually have any notes. Not disastrous, I could simply check online for notes from other colleges! Well, I could if my internet wasn’t down every 5 minutes! So I actually got nothing done except for meticulously lay everything I needed beside my bed so I could simply grab and go in the morning!

Naturally, I woke up late, 15 minutes before my exam was going to start! I jumped out of bed to get dressed but landed straight on my calculator smashing the thing into a few pieces! I had a root around the house looking for another calculator but to no avail! I arrived at the exam hall just in time, but I wonder should I have bothered because there I was sitting down at a desk trying to calculate the standard deviation using nothing but my head! Sure I don’t even know what Standard Deviation is!

I need only pass one exam (of the three I have to repeat) to continue into second year so I’ve stocked up on Maths books to try and learn what I can over the next week! Not tonight though, I’m going out… and tomorrow for that matter. I’m sure I’ll find some time to study though….
