I sit here, at the end of my holidays, amidst the detritus of papers/books/ashtrays/empty containers of the things that affect my mind/pencils and wonder where I am. That would be maths wondering.

I have, just over, four units left to do before June; I have two half-semi-fair-copy half TMAs done; I seem to be caught-up. So why the angst?

Because I've been here before.

As you delve deeper into maths you begin to find that you can't hide from your mind much, you get to know what you're good at, what you suck at, where you are lost. Why is this so?

• Everything that you do has to be supported by proof.
• You are constantly having to jump from the visual to the abstract.
• You need to put together results that don't appear to be related.

Anyway, bollocks as the above may be, I see that I'm approaching areas where, although I don't absolutely suck, I'm going to have problems.

I have a slight wiggle-space, should I go back to the basics of group theory? The answer is yes, the question is will I?
