Update on Blog

RIGHT
He said whilst pouring a glass of wine, it's time for me to update this rubbish blog and post some of my thoughts to the world. If i don't i'll probably have some sort of haemorrhage of verbal diarrhoea to anyone that stupidly asks ''Hey, how's it going''
So to move aside from physics for the moment, which is what I usually want to write about and a quick update on my life.

I'm in the 3rd year (our of 3.5) of my PhD, studying nanotechnology, and  today I've been hit with a bombshell that my funding may have run out, which means I'm pot-less, broke and any other synonym you can use. This spells out a bit of a problem for me, i'm looking into solving it, but life is so busy at the moment! Which is good in a way, as i'd rather be busy than bored stiff. What's going on you ask, well;

  1. I've got to go to the Royal Society for a week to attend the Royal Society Summer exhibition.
  2. I've got to deliver a presentation in Vienna for a conference
  3. I've got to attend a summer school
  4. I decided to take a voluntary job of heading the QLM post grad group
  5. I have to attend another summer school
  6. I'm writing 2 papers and collecting more data for my thesis
  7. And I may have to start writing up
So yeah, a fair amount of stuff on my plate, well not on a plate, but more like a buffet of things to do, in the next 4 weeks, not to mention the other things I haven't listed.

A bit busy then. Can't complain about this really, as if i had nothing to do I would be annoyed. But the question is why do people always bite off more than we can chew. I do it all the time, I think for some weird reason to try and impress people, to help people and give the illusion I give a damn. Which seems a bit silly, will i stop no. Will i moan and drink more wine. Yes.
