In which I do the run-on sentence thing far too much

I know, two entries in two days. Don't fall out of your chair in shock.

I had an exam yesterday (which was the second of four in this block of exams, though I had another three at the beginning of this term (two of which I found out about roughly six days beforehand, when I had a large essay to do)) which, on the one hand, didn't go brilliantly, but on the other hand, it seems that most people found it pretty horribly difficult too, more so than past papers. This brings a small level of comfort, but unfortunately no increased result.

It was also the first maths exam I've sat that didn't have a formula sheet — our lecturer, who writes the exams, doesn't believe in them ("you should either know them or be able to derive them" — on the spot, in mid-exam panic). I was okay with most of the required formulae, but then they had to go and bring up arc length (which I knew) and volume of revolution (which I thought I knew, but then realised I was thinking of surface area of revolution instead).

So now I have an Information Structures exam on Saturday (ADTs, seach and sort algorithms, complexity, etc.) which, being in the afternoon, pretty much knocks out the whole day (except for the evening, which we will use wisely by finally going to see Star Wars (which we were going to see last weekend, but on Sunday I woke up to find a nerve was playing up — and still hasn't completely returned to normal — which meant that I couldn't look up, down, or to the left without a reasonable amount of shooting pain at the base of my skull. We concluded that we should postpone the cinema trip) and eating lots of barbecue-type food because, dolt that I am, I accidentally bought a reasonably reasonable amount without seeing the Best Before date that said "04 June", and the sign saying "NOT SUITABLE FOR HOME FREEZING") (you might wish to retrace your steps to the text just before the second parenthesis of the paragraph in order to continue reading) (thank you) and then a half-day of rest and relaxation with Kevin here before panic revision starts for the last exam (functional programming) on Tuesday.

Sometimes I really wish I had the ability to write in short, coherent sentences. I should maybe start limiting myself to three clauses per sentence.

Tomorrow will be spent doing as much revision as I can nudge myself into doing before Kevin arrives and we go to look at two more properties in the afternoon, the details of which I shall move onto another blogpost for. (Also possibly tomorrow.)

This post brought to you with significantly more parentheses than usual, and requisite apologies.
