Two Exams Down

Had two fantastic exams in the last two days. Now the only ones left are Corporate Finance & Microeconomics. I'm not as confident about these two but I think with a bit more study I'll be able to tackle them nicely.

Finished HR Study

So I finished those three last HR chapters today! I've also lost 1 kilo, putting me at a BMI of 22.3. I'm pretty happy with that, I think I'll probably start gaining muscle mass as I go to the gym more so I shouldn't expect my weight to go down by much more. I'm feeling a lot healthier & fitter already.

My first two exams are tomorrow & Friday, wish me luck!

Procrastination

Today wasn't very productive, I did watch one lecture but I lost concentration after that. I need to make sure that I read all three HR chapters tomorrow so I can't afford another day of procrastination.

Oh Yes

So I just found out that my group received a mark of 85% in our Marketing assignment--- the assignment was worth 30% & I was already sitting on a HD average so I can officially say I've passed the unit! To get a HD overall now all I need is 66% in the exam; I really hope I can manage that, I've never managed a HD average for a unit before.

Today I watched micro lecture 5 & read chapters 8 & 11 for HR. I must admit I'm starting to lose my focus but my first exam is on Thursday so it'll all be over soon! There's only three HR chapters left for me to read & eight micro lectures left to watch.

After the Storm

The fence is looking pretty bad & we're not sure if the RAC will cover it--- it had a pretty overgrown creeper on top of it. In other news though I've been to the gym & I'm about to try making Pumpkin & Spinach Cous Cous.

Stormy stormy day

I've just gotten home from the shops... & we no longer have a fence! It's fallen over in the storm, along with some of our bushes. Apart from that though I've had a fantastic weekend; I made a hoisin chicken, pumpkin & celery stir fry from Michelle Bridges' book & spent a lot of time with my partner. I only managed to read one chapter & watch one lecture but I should still be on track for my exams.
