Day 113 - First exam paper in UCL

Joy came over last night from Vienna as part of her Europe trip. After breakfast, I dropped her off at British Museum and revise a little more for my first paper in the afternoon.

As UCL does not have big halls like NUS, the examinations are usually held around the London, by renting conference rooms or halls of churches.


The Exam Venue. My timetable says "Park Crescent Conference Centre", but I couldn't find it. Turns out THIS is the main building that holds the conference centre, and the only signs that says that it's the conference centre is a small sign next to the door. If not because my coursemates were gathering outside, I would have missed that place.

The exam hall!

Despite that there are already 2 cases of H1N1 in the UK, there aren't any measures to measure temperature. Heard that in NUS, they are suppose to report early and get their temperature screened and stuff, when there is not a single case in Singapore yet?

Anyway, my first paper was pretty good. What I spotted came out, so phew! Thought I wouldn't do too well initially, cause this course, Restoration and Management of Freshwater Ecosystem is very much centred around the UK and Europe. The ecology here is very different from what I've seen so far as well. But all's good I think. Should be able to bring the credit back to NUS at least.

Saw a Chinese-Thai Vegetarian Buffet restaurant on my way back. £5.50, hmm...maybe should recommend to Heather and Mingli.
