Tell my boss about exams?

Tomorrow will be my first day on the desk, and when meeting my team I’m sure the conversation will touch on how we spent the weekend. While I will mention BBQs and sports, I am unsure whether to mention I also spent time revising.

I had to defer some exams for personal / health reasons and will have to take them in the following weeks. The exams are online so I won’t need any time off work. I am wondering whether it will have a negative impact on my first impression and my manager will immediately flag me as having less capacity than other interns. On the other hand, it could also make my performance more impressive assuming I manage to smash both work and school.

Thoughts?
