Exams, Exams, Exams . . .

It would be lie for me to tell you that so far this course has been difficult. I spend my days sitting, lecture after lecture finding very little challenge in the work we are doing.

This week however, an exam on ship stability interrupted my usually quiet day. Stress ensued, panic set in and suddenly i couldn't remember anything. In the college Ship Stability is a subject that carries with it an air of insecurity, no one looks at the subject and thinks that they are guaranteed a pass, even at such primitive levels. As it turns out everyone was stressed for no reason, as most people are confident that they have got the pass they needed.

As you probably know i'm not entering that last few months of Phase 1. Things are getting serious, subjects are finishing up and final exams loom.

The SBO exam is on Monday, and after a brief look over the notes it will be another one that lacks a challenge. Steve, the SBO lecturer is no doubt an intelligent man, who knows everything there is to know about Cargo and Ships, and is even known as the colleges 'Cargo man' but his teaching methods are boring, he shows no sign of interest and as a result neither does anyone else. Regardless of that, we still have to pass an exam.
