I have finished my revision for MAS252 (Methods For Solving Differential Equations, in case you wanted to know). I say finished – I have finished all that I’m going to do. I am disappointed in my self in that I haven’t written up all my notes, and knowing my post-exam record, they probably will not get done. It is true when they say a stitch in time saves nine.
Anyway, I want to impress someone. Oh how do I do that? I’m not remarkable, I’m not especially different and my interests are simple and boring. Oh well, never mind. Maybe someone might appreciate the weighty baggage of my mind.
As I was saying to David, my fantasies help me through the day – not that the day is difficult. But fantasies help keep me optimistic. Hence my post yesterday (or today, I forget which – sorry wl!) about whether someone can live with fantasies constantly on my mind. A theme runs through my fantasies though – I am admired, appreciated, loved and respected. These appear to be my goals – whether or not they are exercised in the same manner as my fantasies.
Anyway, seeing as some annoying sod has given me an exam on a Saturday morning, I have to be up at 6 (yes, I know, feeling sorry for myself again…) so I bid thee good night or, if you are reading this in the future, good day!

I was going to write a post on something but having seen something I rather liked it knocked the wind out of me – and my memory. Ah well. It inspired a little jealousy, it made we want to swap places with someone. But never mind.
Well, today I had my last ever lecture and last ever tutorial for Year 2 – provided I don’t have to restart the year, of course. As such it was a very quick day, and I was back by 1 p.m. I got “straight back” to work (of course I lie, I chatted to David, as usual whenever he comes online, and Chris – I tried to extract the same fun from him as he once did from me. However, my conscience frequently nips into turbo mode and speeds away from the situation, and thus I gained quite a bit of fun out of speeding away, but not from the actual situation. I suppose that makes me rather like Jeremy Clarkson – visits all four corners of the Earth, but no matter where he is, his enjoyment is gained from driving around.
And I remember what I was going to say! I have just received an email from the AUT rep at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, informing us that all exams have been set for the department. It remains to be seen as to whether or not they will be marked, but at least I won’t have to interrupt my summer plans in order to take exams.
It’s odd (yes, I’m returning to my mind!). I can be happy almost anywhere I go. I can only think of one place when my heart sank so low it almost broke me, and it isn’t likely I will return there. But I wonder where I would be happiest. There are four specific towns in my mind where I imagine living. One is here, and the other three seem appealing. Perhaps it is just a case that the grass is always greener on the other side. So why is that odd? Well, why think about other places when you are happy where you are? Maybe I am subconsciously unhappy. But what the hell does that mean? In all, perhaps I am just a confused soul!

Now, today has been a rather odd day (aren’t they all?). Firstly, Middlesbrough scored four goals again to progress to the UEFA Cup Final… well done… you bastards! I’m chuffed for you, but don’t start goading, it doesn’t suit you!
I also went to a presentation offered by the CPRS (Centre for Physical and Recreational Sport (or something like that)). There were emails and flyers across the School. Those in attendance were myself, Dave Walshaw, Nick Proukakis and Oli King. And the director of the CPRS. I was the only student. No matter. The presentation was ok. I must admit that the Centre is impressive, and for those with a particular niche, there is a lot on offer, and the presentation was reassuring in that for those people, they will be well looked-after and their performances enhanced. However, for the lard-arses out there (and the one in here), we have to feel pretty neglected. I was going to confront the director with this point, but someone beat me to it with a point of their own. I needed to sort out my pre-registration, which – apparently – I did wrong. So then I left.
Perhaps it wasn’t such a weird day on reflection. It was just more eventful than usual. I had (very) brief conversations with David, Colin, Andy, Shell and Nix – but still no Chris. I tried pissing him off, but strangely that didn’t work…

I have done as much as I could of my Classical Fields assignment. The final question is a bit of a killer – the rest was pretty simple. I hate it when there is a question I just can’t do!
Went to Campus Coffee for the first time today. I had a hot chocolate which was £1.65 for large: the small was £1.80! Apparently if you buy before 9am you get the large one cheaper than the small one. Not bad – and all fair trade, which is very very good.
Not much happened today. I have known for a while that I have an Internet stalker, but today I have some evidence to suggest such. His identity is no secret – let’s just say I can sense his presence! In fact he may well be reading this at some point tomorrow (he leaves a trail). I miss his conversations but when magic cows get involved, perhaps it is then I realise how perverse my mind is!
I reminisced a lot tonight (again). David and I were recalling the debating competitions we were in. Actually, it was rather I was remembering everything to a ridiculous level of detail, and he remembered vague bits of it. I even managed to remember what was on the radio when he gave me a lift home. Before any eyebrows are raised, I remember that the song was Busted’s “David”, which we both thought was quite apt at the time.
Oh, and the BBC have just told me that Scolari’s being offered the England job. As long as we get O’Neill, that is fine

Only joking! But anyway, having read about the AUT I was seething throughout my first lecture – nearly snapped my pen. Eventually calmed down!
