So in the end the 'sod it' vote on the optional essay won - more because I realised I'd left it a bit too late and 2 days wasn't enough to turn out something decent. Decided instead to focus on revising for test which... I'm sure I'll start soon. Have organised my folder! So am all ready to go. Any minute now. Honest.

Yesterday spent mostly with Ziggy (making up a bit for lost time over the last couple of months!); had a lesson with Lucy Adams (local Top Dressage Lady) which was a scary prospect but went really well, so having another next week! Poor Ziggy, she had to move Fast. then Sideways! She was not amused ;p

Today has been considerably brightened by getting results of that statistics assignment that very nearly broke me - scored borderline good pass/distinction (so 68/69 ish?)!! Am v. happy! Especially with the comment that it was "overall, a well implemented, focused and concisely presented piece of research" Woohoo! I thought I'd be lucky to scrape a pass on that one, the stats part had me so confused and I had to cut down a lot of intro/discussion to fit the word count. But obviously I did something right, and now don't feel so bad about not doing the optional one.

The rest of today ... go get horses sorted shortly then retire to sofa and ~~drink cider~~ STUDY for the rest of the evening. And weekend. Honest.

Well, that or take over the world... (Lana is Helping me study)

study WITH cider. would be my suggestion.

(i am trying to work up the moral ~~turpitude~~ fortitude to read one chapter of one book, so i can say "have dun study for this week" and FALL into some wine...)

hurrah for assignment! clearly you have secret stats brains. maybe, like dinosaurs, it is located elsewhere in your body?

Hmm. that is quite the cunning plan you have there. Still haven't even looked at lecture notes, even tho they are neatly arranged in order in file.

But YAY assignment (am not being SMUG up there, am more genuinely shocked that it did well, I hated it so much by the end). Secret stats brains... maybe they live in the hair? It could explain its tendency for evil ;p

my other cunning plan has been to buy a kindle with money i don't really have, on the grounds that then i can put the 47 billion pdfs lurking on my laptop onto it and read them without getting mouse-related carpal tunnel and eyestrain... (and, um, fine, i WANTED ONE). may arrive at weekend. *wants*

nothing could explain that much evil.

p.s. i think smugness is allowed, under the circumstances!

ooh let me know if the kindle works well for that, as have been pondering doing the same, especially if I go head with MSc. TOTALLY FOR UNIVERSITY

(some degree of smugness maybe! i have NEVER done well at anything maths related before! Tho, it appears all those teachers who said 'could do better if tried' may actually have been right all along. Who knew?)
