One day it's Monday and I'm attempting to be a pro-coder; then before I know it, I am rushing to finish off two pieces of homework for Thursday. I don't know where my time goes. That's a bit of a lie, as I am genuinely busy doing really odd things. Such as:
- attending the Big Bang Fair and working on the Herschel Stand
- talking to potential applicants about Physics at Cardiff
- applying for a CUROP placement
- trying to not fail my modules
- finding asteroids
Mix in a bit of a social life, and I don't get much free time to myself. Not that this is a problem, because I am currently dreading summer. I have no desire to spend 12 (or however many it is) weeks in Nottingham. This is one of the reasons I applied for CUROP - I really don't want to waste my summer.
For anyone who hasn't heard of the program, it provides undergraduates an opportunity to get involved with research that is taking place at Cardiff. It's obviously a fantastic opportunity, but there are only 8 places, so it appears to be rather competitive. I'm currently waiting for an e-mail, as it'll hopefully inform me that I have an interview on Friday - so fingers crossed!
Apart from all of that crazy nonsense, I haven't really got much to tell. I did manage to complete a rather fun assignment for computing, that involved finding asteroids, but so did the majority of people who attempted to. Between that and talking about Herschel in London, I have recently started to feel like a bit of an Astrophysicist. It's brilliant.
I also visited the bay again. It was not sunny.
