I appear to have an unconditional offer to study Bristol's MSc in Palaeobiology, starting this September.
Yup, I am most definitely leaving my comfy career to freefall cheerily without income.
So now I just need to do up my house sufficiently to sell it, actually sell it, sort out somewhere to live in Bristol with three elderly cats, oh and finish the two OU modules I'm currently in the middle of.
WHAT DO I THINK I AM DOING?!?!
*blows off the dust*
So, S330 Oceanography. It's a vast course. It's a great course if you want to know everything about oceans, but it's kind of vast.
Possibly this is not the course to do when you're suffering from stress and medication side effects. However, we work with what we got...
I have thoroughly enjoyed all the geology and physics, even though the geometry of the Coriolis effect and its repercussions does my head in on a regular basis. My marks have been decent, although unless I play a blinder in TMA04 I don't have to worry about a distinction for the exam.
Ah yes. The exam.
After careful analysis of six years' worth of past papers, I have determined that the following topics are likely to come up:
Even the choice of questions doesn't restrict the revision options much, since a question on ocean basins might suddenly ask about gas hydrates; or a question on currents might sneakily enquire about the food web in gyres. So... I guess I've got a month to memorise roughly 1200 pages of science.
...I wonder whether it wouldn't be simpler just to dry out all the oceans...?
