Pooh-bah!

Yesterday, I (FINALLY) got TMA01 back. I lost the 2 marks because I worked in pennies when it was obviously pounds. How did I do that?

Today, they released the marks for CMA42. How can I be disappointed in 86? Well, I am!!! More carelessness, no doubt!! Ah, but NOW it's the time to start relaxing and not be so hard on myself - as what is the point in worrying over much about marks, when you can only get a PASS??

The work is getting much harder now. The sine curves are doing my head in and I'm just off to finish off Q1 of TMA03, with a couple sketch graphs - those should be good!

How long is a piece of string?

Can't believe I'm actually doing this, albeit with regard to how long the strings are between the notes in musical scales! (I'm not sure what use this will be to anybody not very musical, in day to day life ....)

Well, this is block 9, so I've been very busy - despite not being able to concentrate very well, due to the nervewracking wait for the U316 result (still don't have)!

I got 98% for TMA01, which is quite miraculous! In fairness though, that one wasn't exactly very difficult - and I am not expecting similar for subsequent ones!
