Thoughts of the Day

Hi!
So, basically, it's a Sunday morning, and it's a long time since I blogged, and I've been thinking of so many things I'd like to say and to put them all in a Facebook status would just be rude. So rather than writing a fifty page essay, I've come up with some thoughts of the day (/week/year) for readers to Digest, and I shall then be able to squawk more fully in future and you'll have a clue what I'm going on about.
So, 2011 thus far:
  • I have a new phone; embracing the Android market felt a little like selling my soul, but I could justify it on the basis of having lost my old one, and its maps capabilities did come in very useful on a long trip to the middle of the countryside near Peterborough last weekend for some racing with the boat club.
  • I have a new bike, because the old one died, and I couldn't quite figure why I was riding a mountain bike across the relatively flat Reading campus. I love it, and it makes me happy.
  • I have become a bit of a chocolate addict in the last few weeks, which have been exceptionally hard work (I recently had the tooth-falling-out-dream for the first time since finals, which I'm told indicates stress, but only some of my teeth fell out so I'm obviously not very stressed).
  • Meteorology is great. I did have a dream about Kelvin-Helmholtz instability last night, which is perhaps concerning, but I have had quite a meteorologically heavy week, with four coursework deadlines (no they are not all done; no I shouldn't be blogging)
  • Went to a OneSound gig last night (www.onesound.org), it was amazing and I feel truly blessed, but I nearly got stranded in Winchester on the way home due to a train that the trainline said existed not existing, and thus my love affair with British Rail (i actually quite like train travel) has reached a bit of a low point.
  • I'm applying for PhDs, because meteorology rocks so much. More anon...
