The exams I’ve just sat were for lecture courses followed last term, including ‘Geophysics’ and ‘Astrophysics and Cosmology’. With the latter course, the more I revised (and consequently understood) the more interesting I found it. With Geophysics however, I became progressively more sick of the whole subject. Thus it was that I left my last exam on Wednesday morning with that unique feeling of euphoria that comes with knowing you never have to analyse another seismogram.

Hours later I was in my first ‘Singing in the Rain’ rehearsal, and had a second earlier this evening. For the past ten days rehearsals have progressed without me, and every evening I’d receive group emails organising social outings to bowling or for a meal. The relief of finishing exams and the elation of finally joining the rest of the cast resulted in almost manic euphoria, to the extent that a college friend assumed I was drunk (which I wasn’t). I’m immensely excited about the show and it promises to be great, so anybody within striking distance should definitely come and see it! (From the people reading this blog, that would probably be about three.)

I’m sure there’s loads more to say, but I’m too shattered to write any more. I’m still suffering the sleep deprivation born of crazy last minute cramming, but now I’ve broken the ice again you can expect a return to regular blogging. I keep thinking of posts I ought to write, but can’t find the time. Bullfrog calls, guerilla recruiting, The Penguin Challenge. You’ve got so much to look forward to…
