Had my first exam today - Inorganic Chemistry Paper 2 (mostly solid state stuff: lattice defects, superconductors, magnetic materials, fuel cells, etc.). It was a good start, the questions were fairly predictable based on patterns from past exam papers so it was a nice first exam really. So thats one down, only eight to go - five of those this week! Best get back to revision.

This morning Clare ran the Race for Life in Derby, for Cancer Research UK. She is aiming to raise £50 for this fantastic charity. If you are in a charitable mood, sponsor her online. You don’t even have to go anywhere, you can donate as much or as little as you like and it takes less than five minutes .No excuses!
