Financial & Travel Musings

It doesn’t seem like a year ago that I was sitting down to enrol on the astronomy course but the final exam was last Monday and I hardly know what to do with myself.

That’s the problem with final exams… there’s so much intense revision before the exam that you’re all geared up to answer any question on the subject and the day after the exam you’ve no immediate need for any of that information.

Last year the debate was on as to whether to buy a telescope or binoculars for the practicals but as it turned out I could have gotten away without either of them as the practical requiring them was optional and even if it weren’t, the part requiring a telescope or binoculars was an optional part of it. Funnily enough, we got through the whole astronomy course without actually needing to look up at the stars even once.

Oh well, this time next year I will be debating about whether or not to sign up for the planetary sciences course.

If it’s not one thing it’s another with them.

No sooner have they started looking girls, they’re looking for acne medicine to get over the cause of their interest in them.

No sooner have they started behaving as though the girl friend is a fixture, she’s dumped them and they’re in the dumps.

No sooner has the wailing over exam results gotten over, it’s on to the wailing about the extra homework that they have to do to get the results that they want.

It just goes on and on, doesn’t it?

The biggest problem with the gym is that it takes a lot of time before you start to see any effect in terms of weight loss. Moreover, you need to build up your gym time over a period.

Together that generally means months before you notice any effect worth writing home about.

What you can do alongside this is to look into fat burners which do part of what you’re using the gym time for. The differences are that taking the pills doesn’t take any time and they work all the time (albeit not as powerfully as the exercise).

The gym is the long term solution but by adding fat burners into the mix you may achieve your goals a lot faster.
