Wine Related Carnage

[davidn]

Here's a more calm evaluation of the exam, then, before I go to bed (as I really should be doing about now). The only problem that I had with it was that I couldn't stop laughing at it for the first ten minutes or so - for a start, the lecturer had obviously simply copy and pasted one question from the previous year (and had even forgotten to change the word "cans" to "bottles" in one instance to disguise it). The other source of much hilarity was the description for that question's scenario - the aim was to write a wine-bottling program for two robots, and the wonderful observation was made that placing a bottle on an already full belt would result in "wine related carnage". I'm certain that that will become the class in-joke that it deserves to be.

Strangely enough we weren't allowed to take the exam scripts with us like we have done for every other exam in the history of University - I'm not sure if this was because there were still some people left to take it, but I'm certain that there weren't.

I'm having some difficulty walking comfortably now because it feels like I've stretched the muscles in my thighs. As I haven't done any strenuous exercise recently and can't think of hitting them or anything or sitting awkwardly, I can only conclude that I have severely injured myself by walking. How embarrassing.
