Kirsty the Scientist

With my final exams almost out the way, I've set myself a challenge this month - to kick start this blog by writing a new post every single day in June!  As I've mentioned many times before, I loved recording my research project with daily blog posts, but with my focus on the project, the content of this blog was quite limited.

And I'd definitely recommend a browse through the #scicomm and other science tags on twitter - follow

Amongst the healthy combination of stress and the happy buzz you get each time you cross something off your list, I also sometimes feel bored by revising. Which seems like such a strange feeling, given how much I love my subject! Now I'm at the end of my degree, I am so happy with my choice of course and university, I feel like a definitely chose the best next step for me. So why with a subject that excites and interested me so much, do I feel bored at the moment?! And I don't think its just me either, I've heard so many others in the library say the exact same "I'm so bored of revising". To start with,
