Get that picked up right away.

I've had a pretty awesome weekend so far.  The end of module test for Series went particularly well; I only lost three out of the 50 marks available leaving me with 94% and a smiley face drawn on my work by the tutor.  The end of module test for Statistics wasn't quite as good, but with cap at 40 marks of a possible 50 I can afford to lose ten before I even have to worry.  I'll get that result some time next week.  The UAAA essay I wrote a few weeks ago has been marked.  I said I'd post it as a blog if it got a decent mark and with 73% here it is. 

Yesterday the weather was a bit too beautiful and we were rather warm in our treks around Kendal through the art museum and the park while we wasted time before the comedy with Jon Richardson and Shappi Khorsandi.  It was nice to see that Jon wasn't just doing the same set he had done at the comedy night at uni a few weeks back and, although some of the funnier jokes made a reappearance, it was mostly material we were unfamiliar with. More of Shappi's jokes had been heard before but enough of them hadn't for the second part of the gig to be well worth watching also.

The only bad part of the day was the journey back.  We had to get a taxi all the way from Kendal to uni as the trains and buses stop running ridiculously early.  The guy said it would be over £50 on the meter but he'd take us for £40.  When we finally did get back the little display had a "6" at the front so we were happy to get a third off the price as we handed our notes over.

We went to bed in Slaidburn for the first time in a term and a bit and stayed up for a while chatting about teachers from our schools.  No Tech. teachers were mentioned (although Agent Mr Smith was an absolute legend).
