there have been soooooo many things that i wanted to talk about on my blog over the last two weeks, so not being able to write has been an absolute killer (even if it was self imposed for my own good).  and now, well, of course I cant remember half the things i wanted to talk about. ah, c’est la vie.

today, apart from being halloween, was my first exam – statistical mechanics and nuclear magnetic resonance.  everyone thinks thats a rather scairy name.  neway, the exam went quite well and Im quietly confident that I’ve passed that unit.  Now there is just the photonics exam, and I have 3 full days to prepare, so I should be able to pass.  emphasis on should.

Actually, one thing thats really been on my mind is how much of a difference this is going to be in my life (graduating that is).  I mean, its really not going to be all that different, cause its like Im just going on holidays.  but its like for a very loooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggggg time….   but i think the thing thats really really getting to me is that for 5 years my life has been defined by me being a university student.  (on a long side note, I have a thing about how we define ourselves, names, occupations, nationality, etc, I find it really intresting after I found out that Xina’s name isnt actually Christina, but that is a name she took on her self……  neway, back to my story)  and now I wont have that structure.  when people I meet say ‘what do you do?’ all I’ll be able to say is ‘work at the airport’.  will have to figure out how to put that in a more positive light…..  But only being able to say i work part time, well, thats like a bit of a step down for me. 

so,  expect there will be changes in how i define myself soon.  Im really going to have to think about things.  (and i think my blog will reflect that).  for one, the title of this blog is going to change….

well, thats enough raving for one day.
