A man finally arrived with my brown-box of numbers books. I had planned to spend some quality time with topology today. That plan went out of the window.

Today I've spent my time sitting on the floor reading my numbers books [it's a holiday in Edinburgh today]. I'm going to like this course: universal register machines, primative recursive functions, prime numbers, computability ... this is geek heaven!

I will have to spend much time on topology, groups and the hated geometry over the next few weeks but now I have a pudding to look forward to.

This is what I signed up for, sheer logical madness and I have a computer course starting in February too.

I'm neo again.
