Let’s give this a try. Logjam – just apt-get installed it. Not sure quite why having a separate app to update my journal with is particularly useful, but let’s suck it and see. Might try a command line one later or maybe even try to get one to run on my phone… except I really don’t have time.
The good news is that I got an offer today for CS at Nottingham. The bad news is that they want AAB. From a U to a B in maths. Hmm. So. Do I slog my guts out for even a remote chance of getting there, or do I relax a bit and put UEA as my first choice. May even find out that I wouldn’t like Nottingham anyway.
My current thinking is to put Nottingham as a first choice and UEA as my insurance offer – but I know I’ll still be disappointed if I don’t make my first choice. I haven’t even told them I’m thinking of shifting my year of entry yet! Well we’ll see how all the other offers come through – wonder what will happen with “Philosophy and Computer Science” at Warwick (don’t ask). I’m not even sure if Computer Science is what I want to be doing – still worrying I should have chosen something more engineering or even design. Sheesh, what a lot of uncertainty.
After the stress of all that I went to a games lesson last period and played badminton for about an hour and a half. Not content with the battering my body had taken from that (hey, I’m not used to all this exercise) I went and amused a load of year sevens by joining in their dance practice in the hall for a laugh. Loud music, lights, strobe, smoke – what more could you ask for? Oh I do miss stage crew. Yup you guessed it, time wasting again.
I’ve just about organised sitting in on some lower sixth stats lessons after christmas, so I’ll be doing even more maths. To be honest maths is making quite a lot of sense recently – it’s just there’s so much of it to remember. I’ve just got to learn not to blank out when it comes to an exam.
I’ve just watched Swordfish again, excellent film, although not quite as gripping as I remember. Certainly doesn’t have the re-watchability of the Matrix Triology. I finally found out why all three books in the Schrodinger’s Cat Triology all say Part One.
Got stuck on some SQL again today, but J is coming to the rescue with a book.
