Right, since people are going to be coming here once I start telling them about it I'd better write something more substantial in the old blog. So, as I already said, I'm off to America soon so rather than fill people's inboxes with emails I thought it might be a better idea to write things here and people can check/ignore my news as and when they wish.
It is currently 1:35am (how naughty am I up at this time?) and the main reason I am still up is because I have a 10,000 word dissertation to hand in in 2 weeks time which still needs a lot of work PLUS I have to get everything ready to move out of my house and leave the country for 3 months at the same time PLUS I have to deal with the most unhelpful project supervisor ever AND he is German.... (actually, that's not a bad thing at all but he's just annoying OK?) That is the reality that awaits me in the morning/early afternoon when I drag myself out of bed and that is why I am still up now. If I wasn't so sensible I'd probably be drowning my sorrows. If I was sensible I'd be in bed by now.
Enough rambling. For those of you who aren't lucky enough to know already I am going to America. I am going to Cornell university (in upstate New York, half way between NYC (that's New York City and Toronto (that's in Canada)). Sorry for being patronising if you already know all of this but I wasn't aware that New York was a whole state until quite recently so I figure others may be in the same boat. At Cornell I'll be part of the 'Veterinary Leadership Program', which basically means that I'll be doing a short research project and enhancing my CV all with the aid of a sizeable grant (it's amazing what people will pay you to do!). After that I plan to travel for 3 weeks before returning to England. So there you go, that's why this blog is here, so that I can share my experiences of the states and to let you all know that I'm still alive.
I couldn't get a photo to upload so I'm going to put a random one in to make things a little more colourful...

I love that photo, taken in Tasmania, the mountain in the background is cradle mountain, I've always been annoyed that we didn't have time to get to the top. I like the way I'm so small in the photo, kinda highlights the amazing vista. Anyway I'll stop getting sentimental and maybe go to bed!
Hope everyone who reads this is well.
