#7 – Semester 2, and other musings. First: Woah, wait a second, I’ve been 21 for 2 months already, good grief this time has gone insanely fast. Anyway, now that’s out the way, onto the blog! It’s now close to the end of February, which is crazy. I’ve been on the second semester for a [...]

#6 – Christmas Holidays Hooray, Christmas holidays! finally some time off – these last few weeks have been insane. I’ve had 6 pieces of coursework since about the second week of term, all due in over the last four. But now, I am (mostly) free! I have two pieces of coursework due after Christmas, but [...]

#2 – Not long now This is weird. It’s nearly the Christmas holidays, and I’ve handed in a few pieces of coursework, finished my Electronics labs, and am now into the final stretch, as it were, with one more coursework due before we leave, and then just a few maths tests left. On the subject [...]

#1 – First Thoughts Wow. I’m actually here. I don’t really know when it hit me; it seems to have been kind of gradual. But I’m actually at Southampton University, learning again, after a year out in the Real World. It’s quite a surreal experience, but to tell the truth I absolutely love it. The [...]
