Diary Entry For: Wednesday the 25th of October 2000

Well, it's been a stressful, eventful day. Firstly, I spend hours doing the weekly set problems for my degree course, yet I've only managed to answer one question. And I think the answer is wrong - it's far too large, in my opinion. Still, I'm not doing it again as it's the only answer I've managed to get. I've got a copule of hours before it all has to be handed in tomorrow, but if I can't get the final two questions done by then (there were 6 set questions. I'd done three before today and was hoping to finish the rest off in the 6 hours I had free today) I'll just hand in a couple of pieces of paper with my name on them, just so they know I've thought about the work and not just not bothered.

After giving up on work for the night I burned a stir fry for dinner, because my head was in a whirl. It's a combination of stress from not being able to do my work (I hate not knowing things I should know - I'm expected to have to think a little about these problems but still be able to do them, yet I couldn't do these two problems that look so simple) and also from the fact that my sister has broken up with her fiancé. She's been in tears about it all night, feeling so guilty about leaving him. I don't know what to say to her, to be honest.
