I’m becoming increasingly disillusioned, not least in my mathematical ability and my job prospects.
My most recent annoyance concerns one of the modules I am taking. I had some homework due in for Friday, but I didn’t do it. I didn’t catch the deadline and was given the impression the lecturer wasn’t taking it in. Fortunately [...]

Damage Limitation
So…
What shall we do next summer?
Furthermore, what will the England players do next summer? According to The Sun (via BBC’s Gossip Column), England’s players will receive £150,000 for not reaching the finals. That’s performance related pay for you. I suspect many will be spending their holidays as far away from the British tourists as possible.

The main stumbling block is cost. The cost of travel in fact. It will cost the best (read worst) part of [...]
Where Is My Bluetooth Dongle?
If anyone knows where it is, please return it to me! :)It has most of my holiday pics…
Friends Will Be Friends
It’s been a long time since I complained about not seeing my friends on here. But the fact that I will be seeing them soon means that I can’t think of much else. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but when they say that, you forget two things.
The first is obvious. You [...]
