The Next Step

Since handing in my dissertation, I have been cracking on with Phd applications and doing a little bit of bar work back in York. Unfortunately it seems that my body would have appreciated a bit of a rest!

After attending a psychology leavers party, I immediately went back to work. The top priority has been preparing my Phd application to The University of Brunel, where Dr. Fernand Gobet works. He is the man who co-wrote the key paper that my dissertation was based on and is also the Director of the National Centre of Expertise.

I wish to continue my resarch into expertise, focussing particularly on memory, hence why I am planning very carefully for the 'dream' Phd. Other postgraduate courses are also being looked into and so far one at Lancaster University has also caught my eye.

However, all the travelling between York (for work) and Leeds has been taking it's toll and I am in dire need of a rest. I just about managed to keep myself in one working piece for my Graduation Ball and since then I have simply crashed out.

As a result I have had, to my dismay, to miss a few social functions that I would really like to have gone to. I just hope that there are enough still planned for the future so that I can make up for it.
