...and it's a pretty important one, which has already come up in conversation with a lot of people, but here's the short version: as of the beginning of this month, I'm back at university to start work on a PhD.

The few electives I got to take in other parts of the university were still a highlight for me just because it gave me some low-stress variety, but fortunately I enjoyed most of the bulk of my main course too.

Sorry if it was an odd thing to post. Like I said, I just empathized and wish I had the determination to do what you are doing.

...I know exactly how you feel. My supervisor is doing the exact same thing for me, cept I missed out on scholarship applications for now - the topic wasn't raised until last week, well past the deadline :P
*hugs* and GOOD LUCK! It sounds fantastic (and I'm actually *really* interested in your topic too). Maybe I'll even understand it (well, the Technical aspect at least!)

Thanks, I may need it yet! Though it is a pretty exciting area, even I'm not up on more than the basics of how all the network components work. My side of things is going to be based more on processing the data that comes out and figuring out what it can tell us - fortunately the computer science department has already had the network under development for years now and is looking for people to try it out with some practical applications. So that works out well. So far though, we're still figuring out what kind of data we want to *try* to collect, what's feasible to do without blowing the budget, etc, and that's likely to go on a good while yet. ^^;
