Today I started doing something that I'm not sure what I feel about, a maths TMA.
For various reasons I haven't been keeping my real blog up to date, so I haven't been projecting my life-state into the ether. In fact I haven't been doing anything anywhere of consequence. So you probably don't know where I am inside my head.
Today I started what, might be, my last maths TMA ever, strange thoughts intruded. This has been a long road, and not the road that I thought I'd be taking when I first placed a foot upon it.
I could have done a computer degree, there would be little effort involved, but I included maths. And, do you know? Even although I was found wanting mathwise it was the right choice. Sure, it's been hard and I'm flirting with failure, still it was the right choice.
Tonight I solved a Diophantine something that I knew naught of six years ago. It wasn't a particularly difficult one but you still get that buzz when things go well. I'll miss that.
Sometime soon another part of my life is going to be closed down. Well, not closed down but the road will become obscure. If I were twenty I could head in many directions but I'm old and I'm going to have to pick one, That is not going to be maths.
Come PT3 in the post I'm prepared for tears.

One foot in front of the other - that's what I just keep telling myself!
I'm just about picking myself up again & getting back on the bike. Sounds like you're thinking about pushing down on those pedals again too....
And yes, we oldies do wonder why we're doing this, but it'll be cool when you get those letters after your name.

Heh it's all optional, if you don't like it enough there really is no other reason to do any more.
It is a shame though, you only need 337 for the set
