So today's exam* was actually pretty okay in the end. I knew the proof and I think I got both of my short questions out; if I got them wrong then at least I made a damn good stab at 'em, they felt right though. The long question, worth 40% of the marks, stumped most everyone; we'd never seen one like it before. I did alright at it though I think. I knew the three things that I had to do** but was none too sure about the order. But I had a good go anyway.
I'm cool.
The reason that I care and stuff is that it was worth 30% of our marks for the module, which is a lot by local standards. But yeah, happy. The bar was, naturally, hit pretty hard afterwards too. My class still suck at drinking this year though. There were only four of us left after only a couple of hours. The male bonding thing didn't really make up for the sausage factor.
And three albums came in the mail! I now own all of Pitchshifter's full-lengths. GO ME.

**Linearise one of the subfunctions using a Taylor expansion about the steady state, express everything in terms of deviation variables, and perform a Laplace transform.
