Update
Seems like I haven’t blogged for a while. I guess I’ve been settling into work life – where I seem to be doing nothing when I get home except eat, check emails and watch a bit of TV if anything interesting is on. Time has gone surprisingly quick however. I’ve almost been in my new … Continue reading
Commemoration Day 2006
I officially graduated last Wednesday. After studying physics for 4 years I was awarded the the Associate of the Royal College of Science (ARCS) and Master’s in Science (MSci) degree. Having found a job since after exams that was also my first “holiday”. Didn’t get many pictures because I gave my camera to my dad, … Continue reading
Work
Long time no update! Since graduating university a couple of weeks ago, I now have a permanent job! I got a call from a recruitment agency who set me up with an interview and a few days later I got a job offer. So now I’m a Treasury Support Analyst for a small company in … Continue reading
I got a 2:1!!!
4 years at university have finally come to an end. Just about an hour ago, I went into college, checked the notice board and I have an upper second class (that’s one below the top result possible which is a 1st for those who don’t know the system) for my MSci Physics degree. Pretty relieved … Continue reading
Intel London Grand Prix
Formula One came to London again. This time in Kensington Gardens with the BMW Sauber team sponsored by Intel. It started off early with Jacques Villeneuve showing off his BMW Sauber F1.06 car about 4 times up and down a closed off stretch of road. It’s the first time I heard an F1 car in … Continue reading
Viva Forever
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 … Continue reading
Revision and relaxation
Easter holidays seem to be going pretty quickly, probably because I’m out and about again. That’s right, flew to Vienna last Sunday. Was one of those early morning flights, so was up at 2am, even though I couldn’t really sleep. Now I’m in Katja’s home in Slovenia. We went to Bled on Thursday (see pic) … Continue reading
The end is near
The end of term that is. I was in uni from 9 this morning and only got back home at 9pm. That’s the longest I’ve ever been at uni in any one day and I was working for most of it. After last week’s 15 seconds of fame, I’ve had to carry on with my … Continue reading
I’m on TV
Well not yet, but I will be. We had a small camera crew visit my lab this morning to film my experiment in action! It’s for a TV documentary about explosives of some sort, and part of it is about how anti-matter cannot be used. So they came to film our particle trap which holds … Continue reading
