Logjam &#8211; just apt-get installed it. Not sure quite why having a separate app to update my journal with is particularly useful, but let&#8217;s suck it and see. Might try a command line one later or maybe even try to get one to run on my phone&#8230; except I really don&#8217;t have time.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t like Nottingham anyway. <\/p>\n<p>My current thinking is to put Nottingham as a first choice and UEA as my insurance offer &#8211; but I know I&#8217;ll still be disappointed if I don&#8217;t make my first choice. I haven&#8217;t even told them I&#8217;m thinking of shifting my year of entry yet! Well we&#8217;ll see how all the other offers come through &#8211; wonder what will happen with &#8220;Philosophy and Computer Science&#8221; at Warwick (don&#8217;t ask). I&#8217;m not even sure if Computer Science is what I want to be doing &#8211; still worrying I should have chosen something more engineering or even design. Sheesh, what a lot of uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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 &#8211; what more could you ask for? Oh I do miss stage crew. Yup you guessed it, time wasting again.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve just about organised sitting in on some lower sixth stats lessons after christmas, so I&#8217;ll be doing even more maths. To be honest maths is making quite a lot of sense recently &#8211; it&#8217;s just there&#8217;s so much of it to remember. I&#8217;ve just got to learn not to blank out when it comes to an exam.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve just watched Swordfish again, excellent film, although not quite as gripping as I remember. Certainly doesn&#8217;t have the re-watchability of the Matrix Triology. I finally found out why all three books in the Schrodinger&#8217;s Cat Triology all say Part One.<\/p>\n<p>Got stuck on some SQL again today, but J is coming to the rescue with a book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s give this a try.
