Since I decided which universities I wanted to go to I decided to get rid of all the other prospectus' I had piled up in my room. I also had quite a collection of leaflets picked up at open days and letters that had come through the post. The University of Leicester definitely won the award for the sending me the highest number of letters!
I went through cutting out interesting pictures and articles from them all and found a few things to add to my wall as well as a few blog ideas! To be honest I have no idea what most of the pictures are but they are on my list of things to discover!

| Clerk Maxwell |
I found a couple of articles on Maxwell in some magazines from Kings college that were particularly interesting because he is incredibly famous but I'm embarrassed to admit that I had no idea what he had done. Early this year I did a presentation in class about cameras and I got really excited about how cameras produce coloured pictures because its so clever! The picture is taken through 3 different filters (red, green and blue), there are several methods to achieve this, and the intensity of light through each is combined to make the colours. Maxwell developed this, it was his idea! He also discovered that light is a part of the electromagnetism which was quite revolutionary.
