Nooo…not spice girls! Anyway, I had my MSci viva this morning. What’s a viva? It’s where you present your project to experts (i.e. my supervisor and assessor) and then they grill you with difficult questions. It went surprisingly quickly and although I didn’t really know complete scientific answers to their questions, I did manage to blurt out something that hopefully made some sense. The presentation itself went pretty well. My supervisor said I could have relaxed a bit and the presentation was very good except I committed one big sin. I used one of his pictures and I didn’t reference it on the slide – whoopsie daisies. So that’s officially the end of my MSci project, I’ve tidied up the lab and returned my keys (strangely enough, it seemed like a master key, it worked in every door I tried). Only 4 exams left and I’ll have graduated!

It’s also my older brother’s wedding this weekend. Congratulations Garfay and Karen! Although probably not the best timing, being right before my exams, I’m going to be testing out the Nikon D50 at their wedding – I better get some practice and learn fast!
