Mmm, revision

I think I could quite happily slip back into not working Saturdays, having these last two weeks off has been really nice. Exams this week generally weren't too bad either, one of the Computing papers on Frdiday afternoon had pretty much everything I'd revised in which was nice, the other being cryptic as usual. Theory this morning was good either, I'm relieved as I think I've passed so will be able to do grade 6 piano and guitar practical at Christmas.

P6 on the other hand wasn't so successful, I didn't feel confident on a few of the areas, I just need to do more examples and work through more practise questions on complex numbers. I was a bit disappointed as a lot of the stuff I'd revised didn't come up, but at least I've got another couple of chances to resit if I need to.

As always in the exam season everything seems more interesting than revision, Si's learning electric guitar which has acted as a spur to get me broadening the music I'm playing. I'm really tempted to get an acoustic/12 string/electric guitar but realistically for anything reasonable it would be £200+ and I haven't money to throw around exactly.

Thinking of which I've got a review of performance in a couple of weeks at work, a sit down chat with the manager about how the past year at work has been. One of the points I've got to think about is future and "Where I want to be in a year?" Will and Si are both looking at gap years, Cemal's still looking into it whilst others want to go straight to Uni. I'm looking at applying for Maths, probably at Oxbridge but I'm not sure where I want to go. When exams are over I'm going to have to go and look round some university open days.

Also, a great article I've just read on the O. J. Simpson trial, definitely worth a read.
