Easter with Stu

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

It was great to see dad for an afternoon this weekend while he was teaching at Oxford uni. We went the the pub that Tolkien and C.S. Lewis used to meet in to discuss each other’s work. It has a hand written document declaring the founding of their society on the wall. And the fish and chips is great too!

We also had coffee in the cafe under the cathedral and a good laugh at my ridiculously studenty photos from spain. As an added bonus he bought me a massively expensive book for my wind power project that I needed but couldn’t really afford. Cheers Stu =)

He says hi to all the people that read this

Project hand-in

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Today has been amazing so far. I have:

- Handed in my design project, 30% of this years worry is now out of my hands! And I was a whole week early
- Filed away all of the diagrams, papers, journals, calculations, notes etc about my project that have been cluttering my desk
-  Given all of the books back to the library
- Paid my £1.60 fine for the late ones!
- Written a facebook status about it to annoy everyone else in my year

The relief is immense. I have worked so hard on this and made so little progress for so long. Remind me never to do anything chemical engineering related ever again. And best of all I think I did a really good job of it in then end. Even if university don’t think it is very ‘academic’, I am pretty sure that my industrial sponsor will be pleasantly surprised.

Roll on fifth year project!

=)

P.S. Hello to everyone I have been ignoring for the last six months whilst working it x
