Exam 4 of 4: Nuclear and High-Energy Particle Physics
Well, that's it. All over. This exam went pretty well. I was more annoyed at the fact that I was all set to answer the last part of question 1 and I ran out of smegging time! Grrr! Maybe it had something to do with the fact I wrote nearly a page and a half on Quantum Chromodynamics? Time will tell I guess ( Read more... ) -
Exam 3 of 4: General Problems
Well, now I'm over the main hurdle. I'm reasonably pleased with how it went, even if I did struggle to pick the last section B question I was going to answer. I won't make any predictions on how I did, since I could go either way. I'm now slightly worried because I didn't see the instruction saying 'all section A in one booklet and all section B ( Read more... ) -
Exam 2 of 4: Methods of Theoretical Physics
Round two is over. Methods is done. Nothing really to report here. One scary moment when I couldn't remember how to do WKB theory but a moment's thought quickly corrected that. There was one question I didn't understand (something about Lorentzian transform I think), but I didn't need it so I left it ( Read more... ) -

This is gonna be great!
For me, it seems, LJ post topics are like buses. Wait ages for one and two come along at once. No sooner had I posted my Psychonauts review that I saw one of the people I subscribe to on YouTube had posted a new video (which I've embedded below).
This video was posted by YouTube user AronRa, a Geoscience major from the University of Texas and ( Read more... ) -

Random Stuff
Another 5 weeks has passed since my last post. What does that say about me I wonder? My dissertation writing is drawing to a close. fanged_geranium and apweiler are being kind enough to look through it for obvious mistakes (of which I'm sure there'll be many). That being my main focus this holiday, I'm not done much else but needs must. Went to Plymouth to collect a ( Read more... )
