The exam was a disaster. He put a question in there worth ten marks out of a total of 60 that was a single undivided question, unlike the rest of the
entire paper. One page out of 119 pages of notes plus 5 rather long assignments and 6 tutorial question sets to learn, and he puts an example I hadn't
worked through in the exam and I worked my ass off for this subject. Four months of my life fizzled away by a one line question.
Anyway, I complained to the head of Maths and he put me at ease and it seems I will be starting Honours next semester. I'll know for sure within ten
days. I'm now trying to relax and enjoy my break.

Yes, until the next time of course. I'm awaiting the decision to let me into honours. There will be at least five big exams and a massive project
involved during that course when I finally get there.

The big wait...
Stepped on something today, got a gash in my foot. Ouch.
Tomorrow, of course, I'll be visiting the Archeon (historical museum) for a guided tour. Ouch!

You're probably there by now. I hope it goes well and your foot doesn't hinder you too much.
I now know my results unofficially and they weren't too bad but I'm still awaiting their decision.

This weekend I played blind guide again, overnight for the first time. 7 people, two guides, five visually impaired of whom three need guiding, went
to visit the open air historical museum Archeon, in Alphen a/d Rijn. There were several problems, (among others sanitary conditions were bad, unclean
and unfortunately located quite a bit away from our rooms) but in spite of that we had a fantastically fun time. The staff was great. And the food was
fantastic. And I'm exhausted now.
Part of the deal was we got/had to wear these medieval clothes. Unfortunately Archeon does not allow people in costume to wear anachronisms: no wrist
watch,mobile.... or camera. It didn't stop me from coming home with 120 snapshots.
Long dresses proved to be clumsy for the ladies, particularly getting up the winding staircases. I don't have pictures of the men's outwits: they had
to wear a really silly white cloth on their head.
After closing time, middle right is where us ladies stayed on the top floor.
One of the murals in the ladies'.
Our room at long shutterspeed.
I considered faking poor vision to be able to touch this guy's chest.
It was pretty rainy on Sunday, this legionnaire looks really unhappy.

I'm on to a whole new level of stress now. This last semester was to convince them to let me into honours. I didn't just have to pass I had to get
distinctions, otherwise they would have kept me at third year level for the rest of the year, even with credits. With honours I have to get some high
distinctions in course work and I need to produce a very good project because I'm aiming to get a PhD and that will be very difficult without an
allowance. They don't hand many of those out, as you can imagine.
Anyway, I'm not complaining. I really feel after all these years that I've found myself. In between bitching about this that and the other I really am
enjoying my life.
