That is so cool. Im just doing my bridging courses at the moment so that I can get into the course I would like. Lots of learning and new things you find out about...and the maths which I am actually enjoying doing (unlike when i was a youngling at school). I look forward to actually getting in to start my course.

Well, I hope you're successful in getting into the course you want. It will be hard work, that I can tell you. But, you've just got to stick at it and do your best. It'll pay off in the end. Don't try and set lofty goals for yourself otherwise it all come a cropper. I've seen it happen all too often. Just work to your best potential, in the moment. Do that and the marks will come to you.

Very few are a Hawking, Witten, Greene, Kaku, De Sitter or an Einstein. But no matter how smart you might be, you can still contribute.

Apology

I want to apologize to all the astrophysicists out there for my off the cuff remarks about astrophysics not being mainstream science. My lame excuse is that I just returned from a two week road trip and had a bad headache at the time. Just wasn't processing properly
