NF: Buggered. Today I finally got around to finding my old college folders with all my old work in from the first year of the courses I'll be starting again next week. Basically I've forgotten everything I learnt, and I'll be supposed to build on top of that "knowledge" starting tomorrow. Chemistry looks okay enough, I think I'll catch up with it quite quickly. The buggered bit comes with maths. I've forgotten the simplest things, stuff we were taught on the first day of the first year, like how to simplify 5x^2 x 2x^5. Of course I can re-learn that easily enough (and already have), but there's a whole damn year of it. I daren't even look at the later stages of the first year's work, stuff like logarithms and standard deviation of which right now I can't even remember the definitions and uses, never mind how to actually use them. I'm really going to struggle and feel damn stupid tomorrow afternoon and the first few weeks will be oh so much fun, but ah well. Hopefully if I get the same tutors as last time so at least they should remember that I did know it once and it'll all come back to me, and they might cut me some slack.
However, while I was searching for my college folders, I came across an ancient folder of mine with a load of old crap in it. It's full of all my guitar lessons that I took at school (such classic songs as "My Last Cigarette" and "Oh Carol"), dodgy role-play stuff I did when I was bored, a couple of stories I wrote as a youngster, an old school project, and a lot more crap besides. I got so damn nostalgic looking through it all, it was great to escape for half an hour.
