Around the Roses.

I finished my UAAA essay/story at 1:10am today.  I'm happy with it as a story but I'm not sure I've got enough sciencey bits in it to get a decent mark.  I hope I've done OK though.  Fingers crossed.  I'll post it as a blog after I get the result back in a few weeks. 

I only managed to squeeze in about five hours of sleep last night so I'm most likely going to fall asleep in my last lecture of the week.  I'm still going to go though.  I had a look at the past exam papers for UAAA and the questions look quite difficult.  So much for it being a doss subject.  I might even start revising for it as early as next week.  I should start looking over the old maths modules soon too because I think I've forgotten quite a lot of it by now.  I miss the days when I could learn something once in about five minutes and it would be in my brain forever. 

We're supposed to have picked our modules for the next two or three years of our time at university, but I've ran into a couple of problems.
Firstly, most of the second year modules are compulsory so we only have to choose what we do the third and fourth years.  How were supposed to decide what we want to do in the third year I don't know.  Would I like learning about groups and rings to such a high level?  I won't even find out what they are at a low level until this time next year.  So that's silly.  Even if I did some research into what groups and rings were, maybe I'd be able to decide if the first, introductory lecture of 100 lectures was going to be interesting.  The calculations that followed might be horrible and not what I want to be spending my time on at all. 
The second problem is that I can't find any fourth year modules to enrol on.  Even the compulsory dissertation isn't showing up so I have no idea what I'm supposed to do about that. 

My MATH105 lecturer is in hospital today for a check up on the leg he ruined skiing over Easter.  This means we're going to have Amanda Turner giving the lecture instead.  Oh joy.  In case you've forgotten, or I haven't mentioned it before (but I'm sure it's something that would have made its way into a blog), she is the one who stutters a lot.
