Time for a proper update methinks. Obviously, I'm avoiding work of some description. I have an exam on Friday, along with a ridiculously inane pre-lab to finish. I'm currently on strike because the university powers that be think it's a wonderful idea to schedule a lecture, a tutorial and a 6 hour lab session in one day, and not leave any time for a break. Being in 9-5 feels far too much like a job for my liking.
I don't have much to report. I got my exam results yesterday and I did okay-ish. Not wonderfully, but that's what this semester's for I guess.
I don't think I've mentioned it on here, but I've been applying for international summer internships. It's part of a programme partially run by the British Council to give science and engineering students an opportunity to experience practical work in a foreign country. Anyhow, I sent my application off on Monday, so I just have to wait to hear back regarding whether I've been put forward for any of the placements I've applied for. I applied to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, 2 placements in Slovenia and one in Switzerland. I really reeeeeally want the Slovakia or Slovenia ones. So fingers crossed I'll be abroad for the entire summer, working in a lab. :)
I don't have much else to say. Life's pretty normal at the moment. Minimal drama. Also, I have to dash as I'm going for Nandos and cocktails with Sophie and Carly.
I hope everyone's well and whatnot!
