Bleh
Well, it’s certainly been quite some time since I last blogged. The reasons are fairly few and far between; mainly it’s because I’ve been extremely busy (read: excruciatingly lazy) and haven’t had a lot of time on my hands to sit down and empty my thoughts out. I had been thinking of moving back to my own personal site, but I really don’t have the motivation to sit down and actually code the rest of the site.
Christmas was good, although a little boring. Spent most of my time on the computer, doing various bits and pieces and a little maths. Didn’t get a whole bunch, but I’m not really altogether bothered – which is a bit odd, but I suppose that’s all part of “growing up” or some rubbishly similar thing.
Can’t believe that we’re already in week 3. I’m taking an insane amount of CATS simply for the reason that I don’t know what to drop, and I’m feeling a little overwhelmed by it all. Seem to have lost any motivation to do work at the moment, and that’s a little disconcerting. Taking Manifolds – which I find, for the most part, gibberish – as a fourth year module, as well as Computational PDEs and Equivariant Bifurcation Theory.
The former is really a rather good course. Basically, it involves the computation of numerical solutions to PDEs – oh, I bet you didn’t see that one coming. Oh no. The latter is also quite good, covering the symmetries of group actions on various sets and differential equations.
But the more I think about it, the less I want to do a PhD/MSc in mathematics alone. Of all the courses over the past three years, I’ve highly enjoyed all of the numerics and programming that’s been thrown at me; indeed that’s where I’ve got some of my best marks. So, at the moment, I’m thinking that I might sit down and contemplate applying for some postgraduate stuff at the CSC.
Anyway, that’s a long way off yet. Let’s see if I can keep this blogging thing up, eh?
