Bye Bye, Exams

DONE.

WITH.

EXAMS.


Hello, 4-week project term.


---------------------------------------
Clarification:

Cambridge's third trimester is "exam term," which consists of a first 4 weeks of studying + few wrap-up lectures/supervisions. Then, the second 4 weeks of testing. Also, a 'quiet period' is enforced (more about that in another post).

3rd/4th year engineers work on a different schedule, however - we have a 3-week exam period starting on the Monday before term, a subsequent 4-week period of 2 simultaneous projects (~20 hr/week each), and 1 week off before May Week jazz. So. There we have it. Today was the last day of engineering exams, so I'm officially done with all course 2 exams for junior year. Still have to take an economics paper in June with the econ folks for 14.02/14.11 HASS-C credit, but generally not the case for Cam students.

MIT has 1 more week before finals week .. then they'll be out. I'll enjoy being 'done' for now, and then when I'm in the middle of project term, they can shove it in my face :P
