The long wait, David Attenborough, Autumn

Officially my course finished at the end of last month and I am waiting for exam results due November. I think unless there is some major problem that I should have passed the year. I am confident enough to have already booked my place for second year science, biology. I will be doing another extensive program for 2009 but this will be focused on life science. So it is goodbye physics, pure chemistry, earth science, health science and environmental science, hello biology with lots of organic chemistry and smatterings of inorganic chemistry.

So now I got some time to burn until 2009. I was going to get another shorter course in but decided to take the break instead. In the meantime I am preparing a new biology site that will focus on evolution and will be used primarily for my own research and studies. I am planning to release it in 1st quarter of 2009 but I may wait longer.

We moved into new offices a few weeks back. We are on the top floor and I can see the whole city from up here. I am currently in the same city that Gregor Mendel discovered the laws of segregation with his pea plant experiments.

As for television I have just finished Season 1 of The Wire. Good show. I am also watching Heroes Season 1 and David Attenborough’s The Living Planet. If you haven’t watched his nature shows then you should because they are incredible.

I finished playing Call of Duty 4 and the multiplayer is stunning, thoroughly immersive, great game. I replayed the first Unreal game for the nostalgia.

The autumn has been here now with a few weeks. In Brno the weather changes almost overnight. One day the trees are green, the next the leaves are on the ground.
