A day in Leeds...

Found my Leeds photos!
I was a bit worried when I thought I had lost them but I haven't so it's all okay.

 Pretty view from outside some residency place.

 Another view from the same building.

 More student residences,

 The same halls of residence.

Inside the posh kids residency halls (£144 a week, I don't think so) 

 The more suitable accommodation :)

The best bedroom ever - this picture does it no justice whatsoever. 

 A weird graveyard viewed from the brilliant bedroom.

 My mother and I walked to some other halls of residence, lovely area.

 The road was a bit busier than it looks but it wasn't awful, I liked it.

 More lovely views on our walk.

 This is the bookcase from the posh kids house, how it ended up here I do not know.

 This is the church on the corner of the residency halls road.

My mother and I walking up the slightly inclined slope leading up to Devonshire Hall. 

Myself standing under a beautiful arch. 

These are the most gorgeous halls of residence I have ever seen, I would love something like this!

Definitely the best entrance ever. 

It was a wonderful green area.

 

 The library <3 I fell in love here.

 A small section of the astronomy section, wow.

The building to the left is the physics building, it was huge.

Those are all my pictures and as I just heard a glass smash downstairs, I should probably investigate.

Leeds Photos..or maybe not

Before I sleep, I thought I would add my photos of Leeds. I believe it is important to take photos as it may help you make the big decision in the future!
Excuse my terrible photography.

OH. I can't find them.

You'll just have to enjoy my weird photos from a masterclass then until I can find them. I should discuss my masterclass soon really...another time.

 The view from my coffee spot.

 A weird graveyard in the middle of campus.

 My coffee building!

 A probably very artistic, but weird statue thing.

Pretty trees and people.

I believe I am getting more and more useless and writing blogs.

I mean seriously, the last time I posted was near my mechanics exam. That was about 14 days ago!

My life has been rather dull though lately.

Updates! I am...

• currently looking and may have found some Astrophysics related work experience
• almost at the end of my college year, just one more week to go!
• very tired and in need of the longest break ever
• trying and failing to write my personal statement for UCAS
• not very interesting

Although there have been some very excited developments in my university box. It's getting smaller! I managed to throw out the prospectus' of the universities I am definitely not going to - even St. Andrews. It was weird considering I spent 2 years of my life obsessing about the university. I'm just not smart or perfect enough them to be honest, so I don't see the point in trying. Especially since I fell in love with Leeds.

University updates:

• Leeds - looked at and loved it! It's just such a beautiful place, the accommodation is perfect too. I could genuinely imagine living there and also dreamt about it.
• Nottingham - I went to the open day, it's just not the environment I want to study in. That and I am fed up of Nottingham.
• Leicester - looking at near the end of July, I don't think I will like it though. Me and Leicester didn't get on when I last visited, although the space centre is fantastic.
• Lancaster - apparently it's campus based and amazing. I spoke to a teacher who did his degree there and he said it was definitely worth a look! Not until August though.
• Cardiff - my main obsession with this city started with the fact Torchwood and Doctor Who are filmed there sometimes, I would enjoy life on a daily basis based on this fact.
• Aberystwyth - this university has the option of spending a semester in the Artic Circle, wow. Cannot wait to go see it on my birthday!
• Kent - Ellie Goulding went to Kent apparently, it's hard to imagine this but it does make the university more appealing, although basing my opinion on this would be silly. I will judge more in October.
• Sussex - this university has become my top choice, although it has some serious competition from Leeds. I hope it's beautiful.

I think this update is all I have time for, I have a personal statement to complete! That and I should probably sleep at some point...

I may have to start a diet tomorrow...

Not an actual diet (I don't think that pi pie would be very good for me though), although my current intake of rubbish - including pizza and maltesers - does indicate I should definitely go for a jog tomorrow, only because I wish to avoid heart disease and obesity. My new diet shall comprise of 90% Maths Mechanics, 5% Doctor Who and the other 5% should probably be spent on digesting relaxtion techniques.

I am feeling rather stressed.

I think what stresses me out the most is when I have to use calculus to solve problems. I like calculus, but start relating it to motion and my brain stops working and starts making stuff up. I never know when I am allowed to integrate between two limits of just indefinitely. As long as I remember SVA I should be okay. You differentiate displacement to get velocity and differentiate velocity to get acceleration. That is pretty much the limit of my knowledge. It is hard to care when you get told stuff like v = 0.1t - 5t^2, please find the acceleration. How about no, I would rather be doing something more valuable with my time - like watching Doctor Who.

Definitely doing decision next year opposed to mechanics as my application module as I just can't handle these levels of stress.  

The following picture was on a powerpoint shown in tutor recently and does describe my current state of mind when stress is removed. The prospect of looking around Leeds University next week terrifies me.
