I got my stuff at College sorted, my grades are significantly up from last year, solids 1sts every time now. An external viewer might say that I've finally shaken off my Sixth Form slump in form and am back to peak performance and I can see why they would take that view.
All of a sudden, people have developed a certain fixation with setting me up with women, apparently I am a thorough gentleman who would any woman would be proud to be associated with. Pity no one's told any of the ladies so far. But despite this, and despite my usual hostility to the idea of a blind date I've accepted these offers. I've always been interested in meeting new people and this would provide the ideal forum for meeting people I would never meet under normal circumstances. Either way I win.
Lab presentations were recently as well. My lab partner and I did our presentation on the Michelson interferometer 10 minutes of preparation beforehand has gotten us a minimum of 68% based on snooping around King's. I discovered merely 3 days before my formal written Lab report was due in that protocol forbade doing both the presentation and report on the same experiment. No one told me that until 3 days before it was due in. In the end I managed to better my original work and complete something on Fresnel Diffraction.
I tried my hand (errrr feet) at ice skating at Alexandra Palace (Map link here)after several attempts at skating (And 3 hours) I finally managed to wobble across, there were people practicing for one of those TV ice skating shows and I was amazed at how they did it. I have a new-found respect for ice skaters now.
I also had an opportunity to meet the friends of a very close personal friend of mine, all of whom were very nice, exactly as described. One of them was even a Hannah Montana fan! I do hope our paths cross again in the future so that we might continue our discussion as to who runs the country, I keep getting new ideas I want to test out.
Well, I'm out of the country for a few days, hopefully I'll be able to post when I'm out there, I'll try and post to twitter while I'm at it. There'll be photos and such. Oh and if anyone wants to know what I really thought would be a great christmas present, a red cape and goggles wouldn't go far amiss.....
