Phew. I survived. it was pretty crazy and I nearly got pulled under by the current but I survived. Sometime after Wednesday night's class (after an unexpected kick in the teeth from my mid-term) I started to put things right. I figure that there is nothing like a crappy exam result to focus the mind. With a bout 4 weeks of regular classes remaining, I am confident that everything will be OK. I have prioritized what needs to be done and have set about doing it.
