Directly to Your Brain

Wednesday is a packed day. 4 straight hours of lectures, then a measley one hour break, then another 2 hours. The sheer amount of information that has to be processed is staggering and most of the break is spent eating some food so you can process more information.

A 2 hour period of lectures was spent in R035, the coldest place on Earth. It was freezing and jumpers and jackets were put on in order to stave off the cold. The tiredness and coldness actually sent me to sleep. Well, only in the last 15 minutes of the lecture. Before, I was just closing my eyes and listening to the lecturer and popping up every now and then to take some notes. Then it got to the point that I closed my eyes and when I opened them the lecture just ended. All I remember was Compton radiation scatter then the lecture finished.

That said, the science part of the lectures were pretty cool, especially on radioactivity. The maths was managable, the lecturer was cheery and funny and it was smooth sailing. Radiation protection is next on the list, but it is a bit bland and dry, despite being very important. With proper protection and stringent guidelines (because rules were meant to be broken) the radiographer won't receive any over exposure to radiation, with the exception of the normal background radiation.

I finished my draft of my radiation shielding essay, so now it's just a matter to fixing it up, staying within the 500 word limit and getting my reference list in order. It's due next week, so that's plenty of time. Though, it's probably likely that I'll end up typing the final copy at the last minute, under pressure. You know what they say. No pressure, no diamonds.

Doctor Who season 3 is so close yet so far. So instead to posting a random hot chick pic, here's a little teaser trailer for Doctor Who season 3.
