I spent the night watching American Idol and wondering what the hell I did with my holidays, like many students I am feeling guilty that I achieved very little in my time off… perhaps I should feel worst than most seeing as though my holidays have lasted three years… but anyways, too late to worry about that now, guilt has no part to play in physics, and physics will be my playground this year at the University of Melbourne.

You can take a virtual tour of my next four months here (updated 3/3/04).
