Missed my time in midlands

Who would have thought time does go by very quickly! It was only this time last week when I was entering into the second day of the British Science Festival in Bradford. Coming back to London and back to my to do lists, I have missed my time at the festival very much. Even though by the end of the week my head was filled with science and technologies, I had a bit if reflection time since then.

Science is the answer to all questions and is the heart of every concepts that we learn as a student. No matter how sometimes we do not understand or see the reasons behind everything, science is endless. There are so many things to know and one cannot complete their learning as a student. We are constantly being a student and learning everyday.

Thus, last week was a very big reminder on why I am at the University of Westminster. I am grateful of this opportunity and thank you to the Faculty of Science and Technology for providing this experience for me.

I hope that through this trip, i can continue to be motivated in my academic learning. Through the professionals whom I met last week and also during my  past and current years of being a student, I hope that one day I can be as knowledgeable and experienced as them.

From 2 weeks to 2 days

Train tickets ready? Check. Sessions booked and got tickets? Check. Packed camera? Check. iPad ready for blogging? Check. Bags packed? Errr...half ready?

 

 

Never mind two weeks, but now is ONLY two days till my travel to Bradford. As each day goes by, I am feeling more and more excited for this trip. It will be a jam packed week and I am very much looking forward to the British Science Festival. My first taste of Bradford hopefully will be good!

Receiving that "Congratulations" email :)

My story of this opportunity first started when I saw a post on my Blackboard site. In the past, I have seen the British Science Festival (BSF) being promoted as it has been held annually. But I have never attended one. The more I researched about this week long festival, that more I was captured and taken an interested into the sessions available. I have heard from others that the festival has always been a good opportunity for students to expand their knowledge in the world of science.

As a result, I took up the challenge and applied for the opportunity. Personal statement was submitted and then there was the wait...

I was not expecting to receive it but to my surprise, receiving an email with "Congratulations" made that day. And since then, my excitement to attend the festival in September just kept on building up!
