Pottermore rules, as do Antiprotons.

I don't care that I haven't actually accessed the site yet, apparently the few "chosen ones" will be given access anytime from Sunday until September. I'm hoping they work it on a first signed up, first to gain access basis. I created my account on the first day so hopefully I should only have to wait a few weeks.I hope. So the only update I have to offer really is regarding Leicester University.

I loved it.

Walking around the grounds behind the university had me dreaming I was there, studying on the beautiful grass. It really was quite nice. Plenty of photos were taken on the day and they will be uploaded when I can bring myself to connect the camera to my computer. That could take some time.

I have also managed to get some work done! It took so much effort but once I started working my way through the first few chapters of 'How the Universe Works' I was hooked. Although the first few chapters barely extend past AS physics. It's just nice to be talking about quarks and leptons again. On the subject of interesting particle physics, they've just discovered proof of an antiproton belt around the Earth. I won't attempt to poorly explain it, so I shall link it instead.  Enjoy.

Oh and if you live high up in the northern hemisphere, keep your eyes peeled for aurora. The Sun has been very busy and has sent many flares towards us.
