assignment, programming, power cut, university

We have programming assignment the next day and I haven't checked my program yet. My friend Sumudu helps me in situations like this. I gave him my handwritten program and he started typing it. But there came a power failure.
His laptop battery will last for at least 90 minutes but how can he see my program. He has alternatives for that also. An old Nokia 1120(as I remember) with a powerful torch.
We managed to type my code and executed it. There were some problems in the output which we easily corrected and then I was ready for tomorrow's assignment.(which carries 5% of the total marks for the subject.)

2nd week of the 1st semester

Another week is over. At the moment I'm trying to update things so I could begin the next week with some confidence. The most important thing happened at the university was the Mechanical Engineering practical, which was a disaster for me. However i got n = 2.7 where theorical n was 3. My friends say the answer is satisfactory... But i'm not happy about the way i did the practical. My lab sheets were not neat, and one graph went out from the margins of the graph sheet! Lets seet what I've got. They will publish the marks soon.(3 marks out of the 100 marks for the subject are allocated for that disastrous thing)
Other than that there was a drama competition.
