Went for lecture, by bike this time. Followed Fitz mathmos back to college for a while. Went to CMS to do wor,. and prepared for supervision. Met Dr Andrew. Found out that he meant for supervision to be on Wednessday. Went to Music Faculty for music experiment.Quite interesting, was conducted for and by a PhD student testing a music theory. Supposed to rate how well two chords complete a certain tune. Did over 200 such tests. Probrably to eliminate random errors. Bought groceries from Sains at 6 plus, could cycle back to college, put the items down, and go to StAG in time for Focus at 7. Great time of bible study and sharing. Bible study was on Luke, about the faith of the Centurian.

Had new lecturer for A&G today! And he gives out notes! I hope this changes how I've been feeling about the lecuters... Into the first lecture, and already I'm liking his style. He has this air about him being british, and he likes to make fun of other European countries. One of the jokes he cracked that stuck with me...

Eigenvector is one word because it comes from German...
...and in German, everything is one word.

gotta test this lemma one day.

Had lunch with John, the leader of the cell group at Focus, he was a mathmo too... Related his experience at Cambridge with me, so now I get a better idea of what to look out for...

Supervision today at CMS, first N&S supervision. Did not cover as many questions as I had wished to. But went through some important theorums and proofs.

Dropped by at Sains to get ingredients to cook spagetti tomorrow. Hall won't be serving dinner again cos of Formal Hall. Found the ingredients quite cheap... 500g of spagetti, 500g of sauce, 500g of minced beef, some mushrooms, one big onion, and a bottle of oil for under 3 pounds! I think I can cater for 3 meals with the ingredients I have. Will test out the quantity tomorrow, as well as the proportion. See if the proportion is indeed conviniently 1:1:1, Spagetti : Sauce : Meat.

Think I'll try to do some work now. New impetus to do so with the notes given by Dr Korner.
