The exams at the end of the first year were a huge shock - long, long time
since my first degree. I panicked a bit about that but actually did ok in
the end. Helped me put much more effort in in the second year - though who
knows if I'll do any better - may do worse! The project is a real
challenge that I am right in the middle of now.

There are lots of frustrations - like Birkbeck's library, which isn't
good. But overall I have really enjoyed it.
