Mid-term results

Monday, November 10th, 2008

The mid-term results finally came out today. There were very mixed results I would say; on the one hand some were exceptional, like 1 or 2 people getting 100% in accounting, and others were exactly the opposite in subjects like Organisational Behaviour. For me I am really happy and am only a couple of percentage points off a distinction level average. We still have one more result yet to receive and so I am hopeful this will be good too. Exams are funny things and to be honest I am not a fan. For example, in two subjects I feel my results reflected my true position and efforts but in another two they don’t, so you could say their was some disappointment there – particularly when you hear of some people “fluking” their multiple choice questions.

Still I am happy for them and happy for me too as, from skimming through the just published year book, I am in seriously good company; these people are awesomely good at exams and are used to success – even though at times you might be hard pressed to realise “in the real world” !! (no offense to anyone reading btw!) The general results were not published but from my minimal canvasing, I feel like I am in the top 1/3 of the class and that is great. :)

Dragons Den looming …..

PoM Weekend …

Monday, November 10th, 2008

It has been a long weekend working on PoM (Project of Management) proposals and presentations as momentum builds towards proposal submission today and the infamous “Dragons Den” on Wednesday. The picture is something I got sent over the weekend. The word on the street is that the Dragons can be pretty fierce so everyone is anxious to do an Awesome job. I am pleased to say my team is looking in great shape (unlike some of the others I have heard about) for the submissions and certainly the effort that has gone in is above and beyond the call of duty.

Still no mid-term results as yet but am sure they will be out sometime this week. It is back to “normal” this week with module lectures and all the pre-reading and post-lecture work that goes with it. JfDI turned up on Sat and already am inspired …
