So I got my PhD in Cardiff and formally accepted it today. good news, yay etc. I am very excited and have made myself a little something to get me more excited still about one day being an astronomer man.

In the end I received offers from both Cardiff and Exeter and deciding between them was tricky but in the end it had to be Cardiff for so many reasons that i shan’t bore this blog with. It was win win though in reality since both departments seem to be fantastic and filled with very nice people.

So I may end up gazing to the stars for a living one day, maybe even a proper astronomer. In the meantime though I’m looking forward to doing a good PhD and learning lots about the world above me.
