Heartbreak

Professor Brian Cox is amazing - there I said it!

I admire Brian(and feel as though I know him well enough to call him by his first name?!) but purely in a scientific sense. We first met in his tv series 'wonders of the universe' but it wasn't until stargazing live that I officially acknowledged an admiration for him. That show was perfect physics viewing: interesting, witty and accessible.

A friend of mine admires the professor in a more 'extra curricular' way, which has lead to many interesting discussions (including inviting him to our school)!!

So when we heard that our Professor Brian Cox was participating in a physics gig we were overflowing with excitement and reading up on it even further it seemed perfect!! And then we saw the dates... Why Brian? Why would you plan an event only available on two days - two days that are the day before and the day of my first alevel exam? Why Brian? Why?!

So needless to say, I'm not going... But my friend and I cannot stay mad at Brian for long, happy birthday for yesterday and I'll be seeing you on Sunday ;)
