You are a force, you are a constant source, Yeah you are a shining light...

I have my Oxford interview tomorrow. I'm very very nervous. I really hope I give a good account of myself and that I manage to look spiffing in my suit.

I've been really busy the past few weeks, what with being at Karen's, then the Lake District, then at home, and finally back in Sheffield working so haven't really got round to blogging. I'm feeling a lot better about pretty much everything since the last time I wrote. I have an offer (of some sort!) for an MRes at Nottingham, had a job interview on Monday and now my PhD one tomorrow. Its all been go go go! I managed to acquire a suit and new shoes which I look rather dashing in. I took some pretty good HDR photos in the Lakes and Chippa now thinks I am interesting to follow when going for walks! I had a great time at home with my parents and little bro and actually got a large amount of work done whilst I was there. I came back to Sheffield and have been so relaxed and feeling fantastic now that I am reunited with Kazz that work seems to be getting easier, especially finding out I will definitely be somewhere next year! I haven't heard from Edinburgh or Manchester but I'm not really fussed now I have something good and I am going to make the most of it!

Carpe diem my friends!

Is it safe to dance? It's safe to dance...

A fun and productive day at Karen's ensued. Lots of giggling interspersed with a bit of reading. I am not tired after eating eggy bread which was AWESOME, but still didn't beat my cheese, bacon and chicken toasty that was consumed at lunch.

I am going to get another couple of chapters of reading done tonight and then play on Zelda I think.



Today's PhD comic made me smile and look forward to a summer (and a lifetime!) of laboratory based hilarity.

This story made me laugh as well. I want to name an ice berg!!!

I would also like to do this sometime too pleasethankyou!

This was the real deal - a massive tornado was tearing up power lines evidenced by blue flashes on the ground. As lightning cracked all around, we got fleeting glimpses of its giant conical shape lit up.

Another sunny day. Roller disco was awesome, although my ankles are paying for it this morning!

Only 1 day to go until the ball. ^_^

I made more mars bar cake too! I shall put a photo of it up later.

Made me laugh.Also worth a mention.
