Years later, in her 30's, M said " I'll show 'em!" and took herself off to do a Maths degree; she got a 1st.<BR/>She's actually a pretty organised person so I imagine you're right making that connection about your own work.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627338108089464863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-69651908094440915362007-03-11T08:19:00.000+00:002007-03-11T08:19:00.000+00:00The creative writing course sounds brilliant - the...The creative writing course sounds brilliant - there's nothing quite like having the brain muscles stretched and challenged.<BR/><BR/>And I'll echo "Maths!

You play yourself... mostly! Think Colm Montgomerie.<BR/><BR/>The figures end of things, I am beginning to find, doesn't bear analysing. I understand Maths in a weird way. I intuitively do it, but when you ask how I do it, it comes apart - a little like a magic trick..?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280161801824435219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-9294091284718211872007-03-10T20:32:00.000+00:002007-03-10T20:32:00.000+00:00TWICE!!TWICE!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346682505354790114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-60016923483800044382007-03-10T20:31:00.000+00:002007-03-10T20:31:00.000+00:00A job with the Irish PGA?

I see a close affinity between maths and music and poetry.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the fiction section of your course while you can. If you are at all like me you'll be sedduced into writing poetry for the remaining assignments.carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020421002889991849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-82758634667520794752007-03-10T00:38:00.000+00:002007-03-10T00:38:00.000+00:00Sounds exciting and fulfilling - way to go!Sounds exciting and fulfilling - way to go!Kay Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791873464409271216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-27494100937682690302007-03-09T12:33:00.000+00:002007-03-09T12:33:00.000+00:00Great news on the collection.
