Okay, I will do that. Katie just replied which is good.

She didn't answer my question about her grandma but she did tell me what she is doing in maths, and she asked me the same. Of course, I don't do maths this year so didn't really have much to say.

I was just thinking about how different R (Rhona) and PJ (Philippa) are. Both of them come from pretty wealthy backgrounds, have never had to deal with financial issues, will likely have great futures. But they are totally different characters. With R, I've always felt comfortable around her because she is such a warm person, speaks informally, and she doesn't show off the fact that she might be quite well-off. PJ on the other hand often does seem to tell people how well-off she is, and I feel less comfortable around her because she is a bit elitist. PJ is getting a lot of support from her parents while she is at uni so she will not have to fend for herself -- but R told me that she doesn't want to receive the support and that she'll work her way up on her own, getting her own job. One seems to like elitism, one absolutely hates it. Maybe I am a little biased, but I feel like R was the sort of person I grew up with (first met her 6 years ago). Doesn't care about the background I came from and seems selfless. And she loves maths but doesn't feel the need to study all these maths modules and is doing a degree in English and Spanish instead! When I went to that Saturday school, I think every other kid there went to a posh/private school. I could talk to them but I felt like it was a lot harder to make a connection with them because we were from such different backgrounds.

Do you think I am justified in what I am saying, or am I being too harsh on PJ?

She does. Maybe I could ask her on a date when she returns. Physically R is a bit on the large side but I feel like that doesn't matter.

I think most are better off than I am. At my school though (not the Saturday classes) I am average, because the general area is not that great. (The dirty part of London so to speak.)

I am never sure of the answer. I have to be prepared for #10 (the likely outcome).

Okay, see you later.

But if I am detached then I will not care so it will not hurt.

I know plenty of other people applying for maths.

Ask who, what...?

Sorry, I thought you were talking about Katie. Yes, I do want to ask out R at some stage, but I am worried about what to do if she says yes.

Hmm, I guess. Then that would detract from the power of the question on it's own, making a decision easier.

Hi;

That is one of the things that Fourier series do, they sum series.

Hi;

That is the thing about FS. You can use them to sum a series but you never seem to know which one. I never could steer them into doing the one I wanted.

24 hours is not a long time.

Yes, up pops an answer but it seems to be not very useful for a particular series.

I do not check my emails for days.

Hi;

That makes sense. Maybe she is ill, or maybe she already got her replies fronm universities or maybe...

Too many possibilities.

I would give it a couple of more days before drawing conclusions.
