It&#8217;s been so long that I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if\u00a0all of you thought my exams had completely annihilated\u00a0me. Although it wasn&#8217;t quite that bad. my conversations after my final paper went something like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/student-blogs\/files\/2015\/06\/tumblr_m1powhRVdz1rqnp16o1_r1_500.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-82\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/student-blogs\/files\/2015\/06\/tumblr_m1powhRVdz1rqnp16o1_r1_500.gif\" alt=\"tumblr_m1powhRVdz1rqnp16o1_r1_500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To enlighten you a bit more, I had 8 exams over 10 days and it was&#8230; not the most pleasant of experiences. Nevertheless, I made it through in one piece (more or less) and\u00a0felt like I was walking on sunshine the final time I left the exam hall. With the exam period finally over, I contemplated all that had occurred over the past few months and came to the conclusion that something had to\u00a0change. Seeing as the term was approaching it&#8217;s end and summer was eagerly creeping in, I decided the best course of action would be to get a haircut. I&#8217;d like to compare it to Alex Turner&#8217;s drastic change before releasing AM but frankly I just wanted to try \u00a0something new.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_92\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/student-blogs\/files\/2015\/07\/Hair-Today-Small.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-92 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/student-blogs\/files\/2015\/07\/Hair-Today-Small-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"Hair Today Small\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-92\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spot the difference (Hint: It&#8217;s not the glasses.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The scene is set: you&#8217;re stood in front of the entrance to a cave.\u00a0Visibility\u00a0is non-existent past the few metres in front of you.
