Well, it's nearly the end of the academic year (this Thursday), and I am now half way through the latest exams. For these I would say that, as a group, we have been least prepared out of all the exams we have had so far. And, our threshold for energy seems to be low coming to the end of this phase. Not long until I go away to sea again now (no date as of yet though)
Yesterday morning was Further Maths. It went pretty well, although I got a bit stumped by a couple of bits when I first got to them. But, I went back near the end and managed to make sense of some of those bits.
Today was the much dreaded Further Thermodynamics. It was unsurprisingly tough, most especially the steam (Rankine) cycle question and the refrigeration question. Compressors is a topic almost everyone seems to have issues with, and that didn't disappoint either. However, apart from getting stumped by some of these things, I think I will come out okay overall on the thermo - well, I hope!
Tomorrow is Further Mechanics, and then Thursday is Ship Stability. So, I must go now and try to learn all the things that seem to have fallen out my head. It's all so last minute at the moment...

Good luck with the rest of the exams Tom, I'm sure you will absolutely fine. I'm glad that you are all sorted in Southampton now, an end of an era after leaving Essex. Take care and looking forward to catching up soon,
