A combination of things I can't be bothered telling everyone in person, and things I want to tell everyone whether they want to hear it or not.

So close!

This Is My Life. Yes, that's right, a little over two weeks to go and all three of my supervisors are out of the country leaving me with noone to sign my submission of thesis form. Guh!

Rather than forgery I went for emailing the form to the closest (in New Zealand), hopefully she can send it back to me in time. The lesson being be organised early.

I've reached a print-this-draft-and-check-for-errors stage (after a super fun day of wrestling with ispell and making sure all my references match) and would be greatly appreciative of any mathsy people (and to make it clear: Asphodel, this Does Not Mean You. Read at your own risk :)) who had a bit of a read to give an outsiders perspective, mainly on the flow/clarity etc. I'll understand if the prospect sounds way too much like hard work! Given that both Adam and Rae found errors by just glancing at earlier drafts briefly even a vague skim is plenty helpful :) Less mathsy people may enjoy critiquing the awful title. (Try as I might I can't think of a better one that fits the content)

I would try to say something interesting and non-mathsy but I'm not sure I have it in me :) Wait! I saw a teapot exhibition today. It was fun. EDIT: Since the mysterious SP (my best geuss is fallimar) does not consider this to be interesting, some other facts:

  • Ski Smoothie balls are like maltesers made with fruity yogurt instead of chocolate.
  • I found an interesting (imho :P) photo of my mum at my age. Yes, that's me next to her :)
  • Asphodel thinks A circle of stars needs more hacking up of hairballs.
And that will just have to do.

Hi Sophie,
That photo of your mum was taken at UWA! Was she studying at the time? She must have had you quite young!
Have you tried the ski bars? they are quite nice too.
Oh and by the way, you can get comments from your live journal e-mailed to you because I get mine e-mailed. You just have to switch it on at your personal details page.
