Field activities lecture!

This morning began with a unit called 'field activities', it's mainly about the practical skills required in being a environmental and geographical science student. It can be a little dull but has the potential to be good fun as it will involve field work (and in our department field work normally involves an actual field). Plus it's taught by Chippy (Paul Chipman) who is immensely funny.

Today was particularly entertaining as George was added to the end of the register that we all sign every session. This is mainly funny because when that register gets back to the admin department they will try to find him on the system and add him to the register in the future, the problem being: obviously there is no "George the monster" enrolled at the university.

Once the lecture was over we had a session in the labs, Which today consisted of counting smarties. It did have a genuine purpose: it was about enforcing a hypothesis about populations using statistical data and rejecting nul-hypothesese.

To be honest it was an excuse to eat chocolate I think!!
