Exams are over. Let the next phase begin

Reading my last blog I realise how bad it was in terms of how much of a rant I was having. I guess Christmas was so dissapointing because of the pressure ahead. 

I'm so glad to know that for the last time, I am through the January exams. Four of them went well and it would have been five had not been for that ridiculous time limit on the joint professional development and web science module. Something I think Roger and Pete badly midjudged, and I hope it will be rectified considering that my post morterm gave me the confidence to say I had scored 30/100. O dear. It's a good job those coursework marks were 80% combined.

My favourite module last semester was certainly distributed systems. Karim had not only the theortical but also practical knowledge (you knew he had written code, unlike lecturers such as Lydia). It made me think about distributed systems and the way the industry is going today, something I find very interesting is cloud computing and the possibility of operating systems themselves exisiting in the 'cloud'.

On from them. I'm also happy that this Wednesday I will be speaking with Sonny. My old boss at Pathology Associates Medical Laboratories (PAML) in Spokane, USA. I am hoping he has some good news for me.

Today I have been lazy and nursing a hangover. Tomorrow I plan on putting in a few job applications with small health IT companies and catching up on reading. Especially my Obama book that I have barely touched since Christmas due to the constant revision. I also want to really crack on with my FYP too.

I guess that's it for now. Not much to report, unless I told you about all my knowledge of the five modules ive just been studying like crazy.

Oh and happy new year (though late now)!
