The Early December
So, its getting late in the year, the days are getting dark, the temperature low and the coursework heavy.
If you’ve not been paying attention, I’ve been studying an MSc in Computation Chemistry (visualizing molecule bonds, computing reaction chains etc). It sounds pretty hard doesn’t it? You’re fucking right. Its a total bitch. And I can’t really do any of it. And I’m ages behind already as I’ve missed quite a lot of lectures because of sleeping problems *again*.
How is it compared to my undergrad? Its totaly different. Its a lot more reading around, a bit of a system shock really, my undergrad, whilst a good degree, was too easy. I did hardly any work outside of lectures, revision was minimal, and in my three years I checked out 2 library books. And they were for something else I wanted to read about at the time. Now, I’m checking out books every day, spending hours reading them, frantically googleing, and throwing forumlas at Wolfram Alpha (which has proved invaluable).
On the whole its far more fun though. I am actually learning, and its not far off interesting. Its just, most of my time is spent as depicted below, at 2am.
