Mathematically challenged...
It's a new feeling for me, but I've come to the conclusion that I am DUMB. I cannot do university level maths. And the worst part about it is, we're only 2 weeks into the year. And I completely can't do it anymore. [this is what you get when you take a year off from thinking...]
I've been sitting in the downstairs of our lovely redecorated library [green sort astro-turf looking carpet, leather loungers, random flower shaped alignments of computer terminals] and attempting to do my maths assignment, which is due in tomorrow at 3pm.
To give me some credit I have done about 2/3 of it. And the third I haven't done is largely due to the fact that I can't be stuffed getting up and going over to Cotton to the maths lab to experiment with something scary called MAPLE which apparently will draw my graphs for me, if it is working. [Please God, let it be working. I cannot and never have been able to draw graphs very nicely.]
To change the subject....I went to Return of the King for the .....fourth.... time last night. it was very good [not that i'd expected it to have changed or anything, but you know.]. the interesting part about it was that we went to the Embassy, which as everyone knows [ahem] was where the world premiere was held. And since we were in the swanky seats at the front, it is ENTIRELY possible that I was sitting in the seat that Viggo Mortensen sat in! Or, alternatively, a random person who I don't care about sat there. But that would be no fun.
It's a very nice theatre. It has curtains over the screen.
