- academics - + hamsters - So far, whenever I have felt completely sure of an A, usually by come combination of knowing one's relative marks compared to the rest of the cohort and a general sense of being completely in tune with the content, I have been proven right. The corollary which follows, as I have somewhat fewer As than I had hoped for, is that when I feel for some reason that I'm not going to get an A, I don't. Well, the post-mortem: Dunno: CS3208 Undergraduate Research in Programming - IP (In Progress). I sense sleepless nights. I see dead people. Oh, a zombie. In a mirror. Wait, that's me... Below Expectations: MNO1001 Management and Organization - This was the real surprise, and quite an irony since I might not have taken it had I been able to bid for Logic. My best guess is that the final total was a close-run thing on the order of several percentage points separating each grade band, as I didn't do too badly in the assignments that I got back. These things happen. Made some enjoyable acquaintances, as a consolation. Update: Kudos to sel for reminding me that I actually do have an option to S/U this. Repeat after me: Cheh! CS3212 Programming Languages - Less of a surprise, but kind of disappointing as I did quite well in the mid-terms. On balance I felt I deserved a bit more, but that's that. Not being exactly extremely enthusiastic about it didn't help either. My second core B. Met Expectations: EC3333 Financial Economics - The obligatory A+ for the semester. Straightforward and fun. Had the look of an A about it quite early into the semester. CS5340 Uncertainty Modelling in Artificial Intelligence - A. Was wary of this at the start, not helped by the dense readings doled out in bulk. Hopes were raised as the tests and assignments came back, which together with being awarded (joint) best project for the module led to high (and fulfilled) expectations. Exceeded Expectations: EC3332 Money and Banking - Though just an A-, I've learnt to be wary of being too optimistic about essay examinations. The average mid-term results lowered my hopes, but a very high essay assignment score balanced that out somewhat. Still not completely sold on macro techniques, though. SAP after S/U MNO: 4.50 (sad) Overall Comments: Not as good as I had hoped for, but looking at the bigger picture it didn't make a real difference - the key remains to score As in both my UROP and HYP (which needs a minimum A- anyway). With decently high backup from the (not that many) remaining modules. On the bright side, my CAP for postgraduate computing modules remains at 5.0, giving me an almost imperceptible nudge towards further studies. Then again, I believe the required average for a grad student is only 3.0 or so, so it may just be that they 放水 to their juniors and concentrate on their theses instead. Another observation is that seven of my eight Econs modules taken so far have been A- or above (four A/A+). Which matters not a whit since my degree in that won't be a Honours one. At least it looks nice on the transcript... Reliving Man Utd's late comeback against Bayern yesterday on ESPN was nothing short of inspiring - it sure ain't over by a long shot, not yet. They sure did ride their luck as Bayern hit the woodwork twice, however. Time to find solace with the hammies. Sharing a seat on the wheel Hams: Welll? I: According to a BBC report, "...Russian Dwarfs are best kept apart. They will fight, and it will definitely be to the death, followed by decapitation." I trust this will not occur with you two? C: No siree. The first rule of Fight Club is, you don't talk about Fight Club, sir! Oops... Blogger's Note: Triceo's experience with his hams was more towards disembowelment. I: Next, your names. I take it that you two are not happy with being known as "Number One" and "Number two" for the rest of your lives. And 小黑 and 小白 appear out too. WW: All too right. I: Well, you two will be Ham and Bacon and Fish and Chips until we can come up with better alternatives then. Hams: What?! You capitalist, imperialist, ham! I: Guess you two don't like the half-American, half-Fish & Co flag on your territory, huh? Well, one last bit of business for the day. You two got to pick a soccer club to support. Full freedom of choice - here's a list of Premier League sides to pick from. *Hamsters study league table intently* C: Totten Ham sounds nice. WW: I will go with Full Ham. *Burp* I left without the heart to inform them that the "-ham" suffix denotes a settlement (hamlet?) and not a hamster, but they probably wouldn't believe me. They already rolled over laughing uncontrollably when I suggested that God resembles a human instead of a hamster. Ah well, it happens that their two chosen teams will meet at White Hart Lane tonight, but the odds are unattractive. It was just as well as I skipped my virtual punting for the weekend, as the banker on Newcastle vs. Derby that I would have taken didn't come off as Derby drew. No such luck for them against Liverpool. I'll take an 18% overnight interest and run. $100 on Liverpool to beat Derby (at 1.18) A teeny fraction of the price of Christmas - $78100.10 to be exact. Next: Road Trip
