y-y1 = m(x - x1)

dy
--
dx

d2y
---
dx2


and Sn = n/2(2a + (n-1)d)


I'm trying to commit these (and others) to memory. The Phonetics helps

ah ok!

makes sense, kind of!

how did it go?

enh - not very well I'm sorry to say.

I attempted all the questions but some of them were so unusual (to my mind at least) that for all my revision and practicing of methods and formulas I dont think I fully answered one question properly.

I'm signing up for the summer resit tomorrrow......

have confidence you never know you may have passed it.

when do you get the results?

it'll be a while yet. I reckon I've passed it but any high flying ideas of gettign a good grade will have gone... (pity, becuase I was so full of confidence yesterday)

you can make the grade up with other modules.

I'm hoping *fingers crossed* that I will be accepted to do teacher training this year so I'll only sit the frst year of the A-level if that is so. This was for me more of a personal challenge than a purely academic necessity. So I'll unlikly take more modules to make up the grade but will graduate with just the AS level (which for me is a real personal triumph). That's why I think this exam mattered to me more than if I were sure I could make up the grade later - of course I may very well *not* get into the teacher trainign course in which case then yes, of course, you are correct.

ooh where are you applying for the PGCE? in what subject?

*realises she needs t get hers in very soon!*

Sheffield Hallam, if they'll have me (*gazes patiently in Sheffield's general direction*) - and..er.. Priamry, probably juniors, KS2, 5 - 11

cool. so youve already sent in the form?

i dont have a deadline as im dong secondary.

sheffield hallam uni is good.

dont like sheffield but the uni is good!!

my hometown is only 30mins away

I've done more than sent the form in, I've had the interview! I merely await the results of their deliberations...

my home town is 20 mins away (by train) and I like Sheffield - the centre's improved remarkably in the last few years.

where are you from?

im from doncaster.

i havent been for a few years. i never liked it so find no need to go.

Chesterfield (the one with the church spire that is almost but not quite falling over )

donttink ive ever been but know where it is

http://www.wishful-thinking.org.uk/genuki/DBY/Chesterfield/StMary1.jpg

do you think it will ever fall over?

Depends on who you ask.

1.) if there's a strong enough wind and the list contineus then, maybe, in about 300 years eventually.

2.) If a Virgin is ever married inside the church. (local legend takes a dim view of the chastity of Chesterfield female resdents. Don't ask me why. )

3.) If on another stormy day, Satan decides to vist our fair town, and uses the spire to anchor himself against the high wind.

...then yes.

One further thing to note. Look at that picture again. The spire is as tall as the church on which it sits. A funny thing, perspective.
