h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I know how you feel! I'm usually bouncing around here when I should be studying! At least then I feel like I'm doing something productive!

Welcome to h2g2, Kirsteen! My name is Shea, and I am an Assistant Community Editor (ACE) and a Guardian Angel (GA). We're a group of volunteers that flit about welcoming and helping new Researchers. If you want to ask me a question, or need help with anything, just hit the "Reply" button and leave a message, I'll fly back in and help you in any way I can!

Have you checked out the Welcome pages yet? They're a good place to start:

There's lots to do around h2g2, Kirsteen! You can read or write Guide Entries, post in your Journal, join clubs and communities, have a few drinks in a pub, join spirited debate, or just make some new friends!

If you ever want to talk to a Researcher, just click on their name. That will take you to their Personal Space, and you can leave them a message there (like I'm doing now!) by clicking on the 'Discuss this Entry' button.

Most importantly, have fun! You might find yourself meeting some great new friends! I know I have!

Thankyou Shea.

I'll visit all the places you suggest, but right now, I'm going to study - GI diseases today. Thrilling. :-o

Would much rather stay here and look around.

Hope you're having a nice day.

OOps, wrong smiley type.

Meant to be a yawn.

Checked it this time.

GI diseases! Yummy! Do have fun!

Of course, of course.

And to make things worse, today is sunny, and I've got to stay indoors and read about

#drum roll please#

Detoxification. And I didn't have the fun of getting toxified first.

I believe some toxification field research is in order here ...

Yes yes yes yes yes yes

quickly leading to if your detoxification enzymes aren't at their best (or just overwhelmed).

See? You've learned something already!

Hi just got on h2g2 and was scoping who was new and online, like what your doing with your space, good luck with uni I know it a stressfull time my fiance has just finished her 2nd year finals she had to write 2 4 thousand word essays and a couple of 6000 word ones.

Thanks. It's exciting to come into my home page and see a "People have been talking about this entry" to a letter. It made my day, now I am going to walk around with a silly grin on my face.

That's an awful lot of words to right. What's she studying? Today it is going to be the joys and excitement that is the cell cycle. But its sunny so I'm going out into the garden to do it. That way I don't have the computer singing its fatal siren song "Just come play on me for a minute."

My downfall was getting a laptop! "Just take me with you ..."

She doing Theology and religious studies I get the feeling that a BA is a whole different kettle of fish compared to a BSc or BEng etc. its all electives which sounds cool cos she got to do astronomy in her first year. Im starting at bradford in September, I just couldn`t let the student life pass me by without savouring a little for myself, hope its the right decision seeing as im going back as a mature student.

I just turned 40 Hammerstein, and I've also just gone back for my BA. It's very interesting going back as a "mature" student (I like that, I've been calling myself an old fart)!

I kinda think anything has to be better than actually WORKING for a living, and being a student I get to have a good time and better myself, and get incredibly fit the Uni has its own Indoor pool, Sauna, Solarium and digital fitness room. AAArrrggh makes my arteries creak jst thinking about it, I haven`t really looked after myself these past few years.

But I'm working full time *and* going to school, so I'm a real glutton for punishment!
