The D Word

Seriously don’t mention the D word.

The D word is to blame why i don’t blog as much and because work is busy and my blog is a rollercoaster some months i feel like bogging and some months i don’t.

Ok i shall enlighten you all. The D word mean Dissertation, speak to any third year doing their undergraduate dissertation and you calmly don’t mention the D word around them as they will be trying to juggle it around essays, sports and having a social life. I on the other hand are juggling it around working full time work, and that it for the moment, but come September i know that will change as the new hockey season will be under-way and i know my social life will in defiantly pick up since people will be returning to Chester.

But on a plus note although i dont like mentioning the D word, i am actually currently on track with my Dissertation, today i wrote my third chapter, which gives me a running total of 5000 words written so far out of three chapters. Pretty good going so far, write the next big chapter which will be about 4000 words will mean i will be nearly half way through my dissertation.

Now all im waiting on is my feedback from the ethics committee which would be rather nice, so i know its been ethically approved.

The Big Bang

The Big Bang was an explosion of space, not in space.

The Big Bang wasn’t an explosion of stuff like atoms or molecules, it was an explosion of a place and instance, it was the creation of when and where. Before the Big Bang there was simply nothing, there was no ‘where’ nor was there a ‘when’. It doesn’t even make sense to say ‘before the Big Bang’.

Riverside

Well the University of Chester has recently purchased, County Hall in Chester to be the new home of the faculties of Education and Health and Social.

We will be calling the building Riverside, which ties in with this popular song.
