P4

P4 was apparently awful, according to everyone else who took it. (Too much alliteration!). I didn't think it was that bad, probably because I had a fairly low expectation of my ability to do it anyway. I think I probably got a B, or maybe a C; I know that I lost at least 5 marks out of 60 (through not answering questions fully), because there was a 7 mark differential equations question I couldn't finish because I couldn't do the trig integration in the middle (which was annoying 'cos I knew how to do the last part, I just couldn't get there; I suspect the integrating factor bit probably got me two marks out of seven, though). I probably lost some more because there was another 3 mark question for which I just wrote something down that was obvious and couldn't see what else they wanted, and I always lose some marks for mistakes I didn't spot (usually in arithmatic).

Of course, just to round things off nicely my period has indeed started, so I'm not sure whether to attribute my considerably better mood to that or to the exam being over. (Being in pain certainly didn't help the exam itself, though. Thankfully I'd remembered to put a towel on this morning just in case, but I didn't remember to check that I actually had painkillers, which predictably I don't. At least the first day isn't as bad as the second or third, generally.)

You tell Neil "oh yes, I was going to splutter incoherantly at LJ about a
particular piece of drivel known as Cavegirl"
You tell Neil "whose moral for this episode seemed to be 'it's okay to lie and
steal, as long as you get the other girl's boyfriend ,and don't forget to
take your revenge on her for daring to go out with him when she's injured
and helpless too'"

I don't think I can put it much better than that, really...

(Oh and yes, this was prime childrens' TV, at the 'early enough for the really little ones to still be watching but late enough for the bigger ones to have got home from both primary and secondary school' time of 4:30pm.)
