I have decided to transfer for a number of small reasons, the main one
being that I miss the amenities and society that comes with living in a city. I
miss buses and regular trains, easy access to shops and a swimming pool, I even
miss McDonalds.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the aspects of geology I have studied so far,
even the fieldtrips (hard work but useful). I am especially interested in
learning more about palaeontology and also geophysics (I have a fondness for
sums that will not go away!).
I do not feel as if this last year has been wasted, I have made many good
friends and learnt an awful lot, not to mention discovering that computers
aren't boxes that beep nastily.
When not looking intently at rocks I enjoy using computers+ and have been
amazed at the thiving society that is the internet. Through this I have made
friends with, and met, people from many different places and backgrounds whose
friendship and humour I will continue to enjoy++. I have assisted in website
designs and produced a number of different projects using word, excel, access,
pagemaker, coreldraw, powerpoint and netscape. I enjoy this both as an ends to a
means and as a purely creative outlet. I also love swimming, an activity I've
sorely missed this year. I am still currently Liverpool and District Ladies
Lifesaving Champion (third year running).
As well as these activities I have developed an obsession with theme parks
and scary rides (including Oblivion at Alton Towers, an achievement I am very
proud of as someone not particularly fond of falling), and I am spending my life
savings on a trip to Orlando in June to have an amazing holiday.
Well there is a lot more I could write here (especially about the voluntary
work I do at my cinema) but I have run out of space.
Hope to see you soon.
