Chopsticks

I had this thing where I would do everything I intended to. Like I'd stop stopping myself, it was supposed to be liberating or whatever. But then I used chopsticks and I was like, I should only ever use chopsticks. And then that seemed impractical. Then I remembered I've had a month and a half of summer and still not blogged yet. So here I am. And I will use chopsticks for the next week. Even though this week involves a trip to Leeds...

Basically I've been up to so much this last year and barely had a minute to myself, let alone enough time to catch up with my back log of posts even though I have so much to say. I've had such a good time studying Physics at Nottingham at this year. I wrote here all about my decision process and honestly it was the best decision I could possibly have made. The department is so good. Honestly it's things like mock exams, marked coursework every week, resources on a reliable site, friendly approachable staff and a strong society that just make life as easy as it should be. I have met so many people and made strong friendships and really been able to make the most of the experience both socially and academically. Actually I'm hoping to help give tours next year to help other people see how great Nottingham is. I understand how different people need different things but for people like me it's perfect. The campus is beautiful too and I think I'll miss it when I live in a house next year although that will also bring many other advantages I'm sure.

So yeah, a year away: I still love Physics, I definitely love Nottingham, I'm a little older and wiser but probably twice as silly, I know so many more Physicists and some more Physics and my calculator still doesn't have a lid but no major catastrophe occurred. Oh and I got a first in first year Physics which was quite nice actually.
