Oops, a whole 2 seasons have passed and I haven't written anything! Well a fair amount's happened and my plans have changed a few times but I think I'm pretty settled on things now, so I thought it was about the right time to write it all down.
I left CAT in August and spent the next few weeks, well several weeks really, working hard, revising for my exam, and working through a book about how to study. By the time I got to the exam I was pretty fed up of engineering mechanics and really just wanted to empty my brain. The exam didn't go brilliantly - I missed an entire question, grrrr - but luckily I was well versed enough to get a Distinction which I feel smug about.
The day after my exam I started working for a small engineering company in Mach called Perpetual Energy, which was fun and eventful, and moved me on a few steps because of things that happened while I was there. Firstly, I had an interview with PE and was all excited about maybe becoming a consultant a LOT quicker than I'd been hoping. I didn't get the job (it turned out there wasn't a job anyway!) but it started me thinking again about my Plans. A couple of weeks after I started, a guy called Jon started working there too. He told me all about the MSc he was doing, the CREST course in Loughborough, and I started thinking about doing an MSc full-time, from Sep 2009.
The upshot is that now I've applied for the Loughborough course, and two more in Southampton and Edinburgh. I've been accepted at Loughborough and Southampton, and still waiting for a response from Edinburgh. I'm going back to Uni!
I'm also planning a bit of fun before the course starts, doing the Leonardo project, which is a work exchange program between Wales and other countries in Europe, and going to Berlin for three months. Hooray! I'm really looking forward to it, but I can't get too excited because I don't even know if I'm going, until May. I'm still getting excited about it secretly though :)
