And shouldn't you be celebrating? All of you? :confused:

There's no1 to celebrate with as they're all in the library revising! :rolleyes:

Yeah all me mates are in the library. Besides, I'm expecting a mark that is close to the fail/pass borderline, so I can't exactly *celebrate* now. And it's really humid outside today, deceptively so. No gentle breeze either!

That is sooo not true!!!!!

You are far too clever and are more likely to be close to the distinction/pass borderline ... or the 100% / distinction borderline :wink:

!!!!!!!!

I do agree about the humidity though :rolleyes:

Stu, I point you to http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/JamesBinney/, look at the PDFs under "Lecture Courses," in particular QM, CM, Classical Fields, Geometry & Physics; for further reading on general relativity especially the last 2; To get the conceptual leap from CM to QM, the one on CM is very good.

EDIT: It's 4th year stuff, but nothing too bad in terms of handling maths, and you sound like you know most of it already.

Thanks LM - I shall have a careful read over the vacation. Ive already got 8 books out the library to read over the summer :p:

I dont actually know that much mathematically. But I have a genius tutorial partner who likes nothing better than to go on at me about tensors. I also read a lot of quantum stuff as its my personal interest. Basically my knowledge is qualitative rather than quantitive but I shall definitely take a look. Taa very muchly :smile:

The enevlopes are just plain boring white ones. Need them to send some cheques and also to post our children's letters which will be written tonight (we drafted one at 1:30am the other day!).

I'm not big on the whole spamming thing, unless it's boatie talk (go Will, bump bump bump!!!) or I'm on Simon's account as he needs to get a higher post count so when he reps me it counts more :smile:

Anyways, I think it's time for some rep swapping...so some's coming your way today Stu!

I sent my letters last week. Although I have yet to meet my erm.... husband :rolleyes:

Rep swapping huh? As long as its for a valid reason sounds ok to me :p:

You shall go on my rep list never fear. :wink:

. Although I gotta find a decent post :p:

Im starting to think you like rep from this post. :p:

If you are close to failing then I am indeed done for :frown:

Hence youd better not be. :smile:

Likewise if you guys have failed then I doubt they'll even let me resit!

I wish we knew when we're getting our results - the chemists find out tomorrow!!!! :eek:
