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

Yup, sorry guys, I'm back. And no, I don't intend to disappear tomorrow. So you'll just have to get used to it. I am, however, still lazy, so the below paragraphs are taken from my, uh, comeback post in Lil's Atelier.

I see the last time I posted was before the start of my first year in university. I'm now a few weeks into my third! I'm still in charge of the Web site belonging to my college's student body (known as a Junior Common Room, oddly enough), and am aiming for my third year as Editor this December. You may see the fruits of my labours over at http://www.st-aidans.com.

The course itself is getting a lot harder, but is still manageable. I've finally been given the option to stop doing laboratory work and take more maths modules instead, so the course title 'Theoretical Physics' is quite accurate now. Thus far I've been averaging a 1st (70%), which is exactly what I'm after. I've also decided on my career path: I want to enter the world of computational cosmology. Durham just so happens to have the Institute for Computational Cosmology which, along with the Max Planck Institute in Germany, is the world centre for the subject. In particular, I've got my eye on the large office on the top floor.

Last year I was living in a house I rented with five fellow students. Quite an experience! The house was nasty (not to mention frightfully expensive), but we got by. This year I'm back in college again where they've renovated the rooms - very nice indeed.

Not much to speak of about home - everything pretty much the same there. Dad's still working on the extension, but the bottom floor's done now and the top floor's coming along nicely. I'm still having to paint and plaster things whenever I'm home, but my brother's taken over responsibility for the lawn.

Internet-wise, my network has been totally inactive while I've worked on the JCR site. I have, however, joined a faction in The Matrix Online, so I manage their site and participate in the roleplaying events in the game. Very fun indeed. I've even been offered a DJ'ing position for one of the Net radio stations that caters for the game, which I'd be only too happy to accept if it weren't for this university firewall I'm stuck behind. Can't get into the game or broadcast radio while I'm in college, so I'll have to wait until the Christmas holidays.

As for my intentions now, I aim to get back into h2g2 a bit - hopefully with more luck than my last two attempts, brief as they were. I'm not sure where RP (VR, I should say here) is going to take me, but it's definitely going to change. As Lil so nicely put it, my position was 'lacking in prospects': creating an almost God-like character isn't as fun as you might think.

Oh, so I don't have to read it twice then.

Great to see you back 'Prof'

I know, Witty, aren't I considerate?

Hey Shazz, good to see you too! Soon after my return I realised you'd left. Happy to see you changed your mind.
