The final stretch
How did it come round so quickly? This is the question I have been thinking for the past few days. At 5pm this Friday all of my University submission will be finished. This last term has been hectic to say the least and I have been so busy working hard on my various modules that […]
BritSciFi 2013
This weekend many people gathered at the National Space Centre in Leicester to attend BritSciFi3. This is the third BritSciFi event to take place at the centre and, as I am a big science fiction fan, I knew I had to go. Since my first trip last year I have made a number of return […]
