I'm hoping I have some free time this year, to do anything at all not just art! Postgrad is seriously time consuming. I wish I'd had a proper holiday before it started. On the plus side, I've had some pretty cool field trips; I got to visit an underground gold mine for geochemistry, a sewage treatment plant for biotchnology (it actually didn't smell as bad as I thought it would...), and some geothermal hot pools for environmental microbiology. Oh oh oh, and for plant pathology I get to visit NZ biosecurity, and an orchard. It's all really fascinating, I just wish it didn't take so much time!
