The art of procrastination.

talk   share   Mountains, stars, Switzerland, rugby, psychology, owls, neuroscience, general interesting science bits. Alongside random personal rants, of course.

I love 2am revision curry with my boyfriend’s housemate while listening to 90s pop and screaming at each other up and down the stairs.

Living the dream!

ahha I know right!
In the last few weeks everything’s just gone a bit mad. Got on the MSc, got another letter from Southampton urging me to consider doing a PhD here, got told an abstract was being submitted for consideration with me as a co-author, then got told it got accepted and of all people they want me so present it. At an international conference.

I’m already shitting myself but so ridiculously excited.

BIG EXCITED FREAK OUT.

Today I have discovered that my name is on a paper that has been accepted for publication by the British Psychopharmacological Association.
Not only that, but the paper is going to be presented at their annual conference.
Not only THAT, but I’m likely to be the one presenting it.

HOLY MOTHERFUCK THIS IS AMAZING.

Hiatus, if you hadn’t noticed.

Due to my second dissertation being due in a week and my university finals coming up quicker than I care to mention, I haven’t been and won’t be on here for a while.

I kind of miss looking at all the beautiful, interesting things.

But then again, I need to DO SOME WORK.

Laters.

Adam Savage dipping his fingers into a pot of molten lead. Immediately prior to submerging his fingers in the lead, he wet them with water, which will form a thin protective layer of water vapor on contact with the lead, which was heated to 850 degrees Fahrenheit. This is known as the Leidenfrost effect.

Places I’d love to go back to 10. Mist trail and Vernal falls, Yosemite National Park. It’s a hard walk but it’s so beautiful it’s instantly worth it.

Shameless reblog of my old one.

Southampton;

Stabbings. Rapes. Attempted sexual assaults. Murders. Burning bodies in bins and cars. A drug den a road over from me.

In the space of like 2 weeks.

Not enough?

Try a toxic fume cloud engulfing half the city due to a scrap heap being on fire.

For fuck’s sake guys, this is getting silly.
