What happened?

Work is starting to pile up recently. All of a sudden I have assessed problem sheets, seminar write-ups and lab reports popping up all over the place.

Don't even have time to do my own stuff like read notes, textbook, storybook and most importantly play snooker. Sian.

Writing my FIRST lab report, really quite lost since I am not too sure what they want and what they look for. Sure, they give us handouts detailing the key features of lab reports. But I am not too sure how much that helps. I think it really depends on the person marking your report too.

Next on the list is my seminar write up. I am supposed to do this summary, actually not summary, a write-up is more accurate. They gave us an article to give us and idea of what we are supposed to write about. So if it were a summary all I need to do is to read the damn article. But no, it's a write up so you gotta read up from other sources and present your write up in a generalistic way. I mean I am fine with this. What makes this write up so hard to do is that of all fields of science, it had to be about ASTROPHYSICS! I know nuts about it. Not even the most basic things. Then I have to read research articles by professional scientists where they talk about VLBA, interferometry, luminosities of stars, milli-arsec, kilo-parsec, blah blah blah. I don't understand like 90% of what I read. Keep falling asleep reading those research papers. I believe it would have been better if it were about Quantum Mechanics or something. But astrophysics is a little too much.
