# That's uttery fantastic...
Just finished the astronomy module of my A2 physics course. It's got me somewhat hooked. :p

# Good grief!
We just have a small Cassegrain telescope at college. 12cm diameter I think.

We didn't get to use it though, 'cause we've got a new head, who wouldn't give clearance for a "trip". ¬_¬

# I'll bet they set you back a fair bit...
I'm off to bed, anyway. Up at 6:30 for college. Yay! -_-

G'night!

and you scubadive

Are you my dad?

I'd have to speak with your mother about that first ;)

# Always good to check
out of interest, you mentioned you mentioned before you were a member of a diving club, where abouts?
(I helped save b3ta! Cocodaye Miasere likes chips and peas, Fri 2 May 2008, 0:52, archived)
# ah yes.
Leigh Sub Aqua Club

although if I'm honest I'm more than lapsed and only got into it as my friend who was giving me PPL lessons in his Cessna 152 insisted I'd enjoy diving as well. Which I did of course. Old bones and laziness mean I don't bother much.

Im part of manchester uni club, so not too far off

# Pah astronomy's for losers.
We did particle. Particle FTW!

I do get to fairly regularly play with equipment costing around a million quid.

# Fah, particle physics is for suckers.
Theoretical is where it's at.
(Jeru War and Piss, Fri 2 May 2008, 0:19, archived)
# Theoretical shmeoretical.
I don't really like physics that much I just need the A-level so I can get to uni and start doing what I really like, biochemistry.

# One of my housemates through uni did some kind of chemistry, quite possibly bio.
He's now joining the police force.

# Well that's disheartening.
I could quite happily do that without going through 4 years of uni.

# His was only a 3 year course,
but uni is still well worth going to. Great fun, and if you do half decently it'll give you more options.

# Oh there's no doubt I'll go.
I just hope I'll get a worthwhile science job out of it at the end.

# I think I was pretty lucky to get on mine.
I recommend spending quite a while looking into things the summer before you finish your degree.

about June 2013 please? Thanks in advance.

# I'll get right on it.
But, more importantly, I'm off to bed. Goodnight b3ta.

# biochemistry's for chumps
you want to do astrophysics instead.

# Well you do argue a good point...
but as I've already got my place I think I'll stick with it. Keep plugging away though, you'll get 'em.

# bah
another one lost to those damned biochemists

actually i've only just finished marking a bunch of students' work and it felt like there were a million of them (there weren't, i only have 15) and it's twenty to two and i need to be at work at 9 so i think i'm going now...

PS do cosmology. It's like astronomy with all the irritating bits taken out, and particle physics with all the other irritating bits taken out.

# Twenty to two?
Where the blazes are you? Also, I don't belive in star signs so I don't think cosmology's for me :P

# in my mind
particle physics is part of theoretical physics. experimental particle physics can fuck right off. it only leads to the lhc and the lhc is going to make little black holes that will consume the entire earth and then the universe*. it's true, i read it in the Telegraph a few years ago!**




* This won't happen. We may well not make mini black holes at all and if we do, so what?
** It may not have been the Telegraph but it was some paper that had a supplement "How we'll destroy ourselves in the next century" which included at number 2 or something stupidly high, mini black holes at the LHC gobbling up Earth and then the universe. The lack of understanding showed by their "science" "correspondant" was utterly staggering.

# It's about fucking time.
They've had god knows how many years to implode the earth somehow, about cocking time they actually got round to it.
