		<title>Emotional Investment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned briefly in a previous post that after I decided to stay on, it seemed my supervisors became more willing to invest in me. I probably should have guessed, but the cognitive act of choosing to stay on also effected a similar change in me, whereby I&#8217;ve become more inclined to invest myself emotionally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dance!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Enough of all this heavy, boring stuff about future plans and academics. I do actually have an life outside uni, and I can prove it! For the past several months, whenever I haven&#8217;t been worrying about research or learning mathematics, I&#8217;ve been dancing &#8230; with the ICU Dance Company. OK, so that&#8217;s not exactly completely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Final Examinations Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I mentioned that I might have to eat my words regarding the difficulty level of the final exams. As it turns out, apparently the grading was harsher than I expected, and I only passed on the borderline between pass and merit. It seems that even though the questions were written at freshman chemistry level, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Subconscious Win</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I never cease to be amazed at my subconscious mind. I&#8217;ve known for a while that it&#8217;s quite a bit smarter than I am (especially when it comes to maths), and have taken advantage of that fact by building in naps at opportune moments (even during tests, occasionally!). Apparently, it&#8217;s also a lot better at [...]]]></description>

		<title>2nd Year Plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s official. After months of agonizing over plans for my immediate future, the upcoming academic year, I have managed to narrow down the field of possibility to just three choices. Over the course of the past week, I&#8217;ve managed to visit all of the contenders and speak to some faculty and students at those [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gromacs Genion Fix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gromacs is a wonderful open source molecular dynamics simulation package that I will be using for some of my research here at Imperial. However, as is oftentimes the case with scientific packages (both open and closed source), there are some minor quirks that I&#8217;ve had to learn to deal with. One of those quirks was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Final Examinations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though the bulk of the degree is research&#8212;as befits an MRes (Master of Research)&#8212;there was still a taught component, and this past week final exams marked the end of the assessed classes. I should first state the caveat that I should not generalize too much from this one experience taking English final exams, but having [...]]]></description>

		<title>End of Term</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As is obvious from the timestamps of previous posts, I have been more or less out of commission for over a month. This was largely due to a sudden rush of activities/deadlines in the last couple of weeks of term. In order of decreasing time required, they were as follows:

Literature Report: This was the only [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Learning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I want to learn about everything. If there were a single phrase that could sum up my personality, it would probably be the preceding. As a budding scholar, this would seem to be an appropriate way of approaching the world. However, in my case it&#8217;s a distinct possibility that without some proper counterbalance, this love [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guy Fawkes Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember, remember the fifth of November / gunpowder, treason, and plot / I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
The British tradition of Guy Fawkes Night is definitely a sight to see, if ever anyone is in the United Kingdom in early November. I unfortunately missed the celebrations on the fifth of [...]]]></description>
