I managed to avoid doing any astronomy at all during my physics degree.

That's just the mentalist
thing I ever heard. What's not to like about astronomy. Normal physics is boring, quantum mechanics gets better but astrophysics FTW ( and the headfuck )

Well, mostly it wasn't my choice.
I did Physics with Philosophy, so I just did the core Physics stuff and had no real options in it until the third year.
By which time I was well behind on astronomy and doing a course in it would have been tricky.
So I did particle physics and quantum and stuff instead.

Yes, I had to do
all the boring core physics stuff ( again ) for my electronics and computer engineering course.

I'm much happier now I'm learning Physics that I'll actually be using.
And there's much less horrible maths involved.

you should count yourself lucky.
It was all abacus' in my day ;)
