AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That isn't overkill either.
I write maths in less than 24 hours.

On the plus side I managed to get this working in a break just now....

Now for lunch then back to the panicing....
Does anyone know of a nice tall building with spikes at its base?

2 to go!

Another one bites the dust!
Ah... Queen. Brilliant stuff.

I'm in a really good mood: EAR 101 went ok. Rowntree's essay topics were bad but the rest went fine. I think. We'll see.

2 papers to go.
Saturday (Maths. *looks for long rope)
Monday (Physics. *searches for fireworks)
Then home on Wednesday!

If anyone wants to bomb the plane I'm one, they are out of luck: I'm taking the bus.

Anyway, going to go wish Stuart goodbye, he's leaving tomorrow and then back to the books.

The final countdown....

This time next week I'll be at home!
I'll miss the people here, but I need a break.

Holiday plans: Get an extension cord and sit in the garden (so that itchy blister can't moan I don't get any sun...) and either watch anime or read e-books.

I hope to visit Paddy too but I'll have to see when/if that happens.

The final part of the countdown?
Maths on Saturday at 8:30.

I want to CLIMB! But the wall is closed.
And look at it:











It be soo beautiful.... I can't wait to climb again....
Now I'm scaring myself. I need a girlfriend.

Now: poi till lunch then write EAR 101 theory paper at 14:00.

Fun website....

You may (or may not) know that I like SF a great deal.
The other day, I stumbled upon a simply lovely site: Project Rho
This is a site that includes (among other things) a guide to how to go about building an "atomic rocket". It's actually a fairly well researched bit.
Strongly suggest that anyone with a vague interest in space travel should have a look at it.

I've also found a new language I want to learn: lojban. Should be amusing....

MApSoc the other day was fun: afterwards we went out to see Tristan poi again. No photos unfortunately. :*(
Then a bunch of us just arbed around in the carpark outside Kimberley Hall for an hour or so. Lots of fun.

Anyway, I must be off: the maths book is calling to me again.
Of course I can't actually reach it, but I can get as close as I please....
It's evil I tell you. It's invading my MIND!

Eish....

Well I had a wonderfully unproductive Saturday.
Which isn't overly good....

Played squash from 2 till just after three then wlked to P 'n P to get something to drink, then started trekking up and ran into some people so we stopped to talk. That meant we got back up the hill in time for supper.

Anyway....
I had a good day. Need to do some more maths after this though.

Unfortunately, I have no sound on my computer. I haven't got the foggiest idea why. It's really annoying because I've got more flexibility over what plays on the computer.
I will survive though.

Now to work, there's a MApSoc meeting tonight I think....

ProcSoc News

It's amazing really.

Around exam time all those little things become very important:
Cleaning your room, visiting friends to help clean theirs....
Vacumning the floor, cleaning the basin, sorting socks by colour....
Deciding which shirt to wear on which day for the next couple weeks, making sure they fit....
Fixing a broken ruler/protractor, buying pencils....
Deciding to have a cup of tea, realising you have no biscuits so going to but some more....
Washing both sides of your windows, choosing which pen to write your notes in....

Really unusual.
Everyone seems to be affected by this strange malaise. Must be a bug going around.

Just a thought....

The wonders of language....

Got an SMS from my mom.
Seems amusing that my language with a cellphone is better than hers. Guess predictive text helps somewhat.

It's actually quite interesting how language changes. To that end, I would suggest a visit here: World Wide Words
A very interesting site run by one of the gentelemen doing research for the Oxford English Dictionary.

My sister got a gold for her ballet thingy. Which means I am pleased too.

Anyway, pizza awaits!
