I thought it was time for a slightly more upbeat-sounding blog, in case everyone decides I'm just a grumpy northerner with nothing positive to say!
Well, I do have good news, in one aspect at least. The net is now working at home- I'm blogging from the 'comfort' of my own home (well, not my own, but more mine than the library!) with tea, music and candles! It may be a small achievement, but, as Tesco put it, every little helps! The rest is still as it was, though I'm working on the landlord (for this read moaning at him lots!!!) about the shower and hopefully will wear him down eventually! Positive thoughts this way please!
The computer modelling is a different story. The bad news is that I've had no flash of inspiration, no angels appearing with helpfull hints, and so am still none the wiser. Which is worrying given that the deadline is Friday. However, the good news (such as it is) is that no one else has a clue about it either. After having sent umpteen emails to lecturer concerned, and got nowhere, we went to the course supervisor, who's going to 'sort it out', whatever that means. Hmm. By this point we all decided to forget about anything related to computer modelling for the weekend at least, and get on with other stuff. Which I have happily done!
There, it's not all bad news. I'm working on a new attempt to be positive, as much as possible. After several conversations about this with certain people, I know that I can do this, it's not beyond my capabilities and strength to deal with. I've dealt with worse, and got through it. I don't know where it's from, but the bit about God never giving you more to deal with than you can manage always springs to mind at times like these. Although I sometimes worry He has rather high expectations of what I can cope with. Hmm.
