O.M.G, I Actually Passed TMA05!

Well, I just don't believe it.  I submitted TMA05, part completed and with no hope of gaining over 50% of marks, in what has been a dreadful few months of illness.

You can imagine my astonishment, when my script arrived this morning, for me to find that I had scored 82%, overall.

I am dumbfounded.

Why?  Well, I had completed at least three-quarters of the paper, in the space of about 3hrs, and with no reference to any of the Unit texts.  You see, I had reached a point of resigned meltdown, and I couldn't bring myself to even open the books.

I think I did this, so that it would have then felt easier to accept a dismal mark, telling myself that if I had studied harder, then I might have done well.

Perversely, I actually scored 100% on that rushed section.  Work that one out?

Anyhow, to try and finish the course, I am having to employ some serious disaster tactics.  I have opened the Battle Bridge and separated the Saucer Section; and with Analysis Part B I am going straight to the TMA, and only reading the bits from the units that I need to, in order to complete that paper.

I will, of course, visit the Units again as I prepare for the exam; but needs must, and I just need to produce another two TMA's in the next 6 weeks.  Hopefully by then, I will have sufficiently recovered (health-wise), to put in some serious hours and pass that damn exam.

By the Power of Greyskull!!!
