BAKER'S BACK, BABY!

I haven't posted on this blog since March. Time flies, huh? XD

So, what have I been up to these last few weeks since returning to the 'pool? Short answer: Nothing. Long answer: Absolutely nothing. Basically, my life at University in Year 2 hasn't been that much different from my life at University in Year 1. Lectures still be making me sleep, labs still be a lot of writing up, and the Physics still be complex (but this year it's getting interesting, we do Electromagnetism an' Particle Physics 8D *ooh, ahh, is all sparkly glowy!*).

Saying that, the major difference everyone is noticing is the number of people on the course this year. Or rather, the lack of a number of people on the course this year. Last year's 300 (Leggett, feel free to insert a Leonidas reference here =P) has been drastically culled to about 150 from people failing exams, deciding to leave or being sacrificed to Cthulhu. Except the last one. Having come close to redoing a year with my own resits a few months ago, it's sobering to know how few people actually made the list.

On the more positive side, everyone has moved into the new house for this year pretty easily. The era of Halls is behind us, and we have entered the Year of the Student Digs! No more rules and regulations about when and how we have to clean the living room. No more wakeups at 3 in the morning when some drunk Fresher pulls the fire alarm. No more Residential Advisors to help out when the kitchen goes up in flame.

And it's fantastic. The house itself is 10 minutes away from campus, and most of that time is having to cross a dual carriageway. It's a bit small, but that just means there's less that can go wrong. I have the small, used-to-be-a-broom-cupboard room at the back, which is perfect for me as there's not as much to clean as the other bedrooms, and other than not being able to get a chair under the writing desk, the place couldn't be better. Hooray for having a place to sleep! =D

Aaaand, I think that's everything. If I keep to the same schedule for posting on here, I'll be writing the next post in May 2014, so see you guys then XD




Just to be clear, the kitchen hasn't burned to the ground.
Yet.

Here's hoping ;P
