Maths, spiders and revision
In other news, revision is actually killing me. Imagine watching a spider attempting to build a web in heavy rain.... actually, no imagine it trying to pass a maths degree in heavy rain and that is a pretty good impression of how I feel. Ah well, time to find more things to do to wastte my time when I should be working...

Not an angry diatribe.
Today's entry, though, is actually about something happening in my life. I have been asked to an interview at Bath University, for a Postgraduate Certificate of Education course in Mathematics. One step closer to becoming a teacher!
I am not overly nervous about the interview, since I have several factors in my favour. I really do want to be a teacher, I am not just in it for the cash(!). I like to talk about maths, enjoy talking in front of a room of people, and have a genuine enthusiasm for learning more about learning.
The fact that I am in the process of finishing my degree at Bath will hopefully have an effect, plus it means there is little to no travel time involved for the interview process. Then there is the fact that I am committed to living here next year anyway... so the sob story is a last resort!
Exams then, are my only worry.
I am probably looking at a 2.2 now, given the way my last two went, but you never know, I could completely screw up, or have a moment of genius. If you had told me 3 years ago that I would get a 2.2, I would have probably been disappointed. But to be fair to myself, Maths is a bloody hard degree. I am still not sure whether I would trade in a third in maths for a first in psychology. It is all about the perception I guess.
Now I'm tired, but I'm going to revise.
