21st Birthday- Disappointing
This hasn't been the greatest of birthdays so far, although hopefully that might change with tonight's Extravs. Then again, 21 was never my favourite number anyway, even if it is the most hyped of birthdays.My exam results, due out tomorrow, came out today- and I got a 2-2 degree, so I will find it incredibly hard to get funding for the MSc in Leeds that I was applying for (a 2-1 was paramount). I may have to fall back upon the backup option of getting a job after all, but I hope it won't have to be a repetitive paperwork/admin/"general practical stuff" type job sitting on my own in an office 9 till 5 and completely cut off from the weather! Ideally, it should be something at least vaguely connected to meteorology...With hindsight I should have done a degree in Environmental Science rather than Environmental Maths (my Environmental Science marks were consistently in the 60s and 70s, while my maths marks were in the 40s). However, before I embarked on the degree I didn't know that advanced degree level mathematics was so abstract! The maths itself isn't a problem (an A at A-level confirms this), it's the layers of abstraction that I couldn't get my head around.On the plus side, my Canon camera somehow recovered from its E18 error on Monday night (it seems that sand did indeed get into the mechanism, but nontheless, all of a sudden it started working and the lens came out, bringing a ring of sand with it). "Touch wood" as they say, it has operated flawlessly for a day and a half now...
