Foreign Perspectives

With several groups working well into the evening yesterday, the conclusions team was probably not the best team to be on.

Some last minute discussions on our immunocytochemistry presentation resulted in a few updates to what we said but, for a change, no last minute changes to the text of the presentation itself. Unlike last year, we all had at least some knowledge of the various topics being presented which made for a more interesting feel to the morning I think. Once they were completed, we even had some feedback on how well we’d done or rather on some improvements that we might make for the next time.

And then it was time to go our separate ways.

It took a little longer than expected to reach the train station but I’d still got loads of time to wait around. The first class ticket was definitely worthwhile and the meal broke up the journey quite nicely. As it turned out, it was just as well that I took it as there was nothing open on campus by the time I arrived.

Although, at first glance there seem to be cafés and restaurants everywhere on the York campus, outside term-time the opening hours are rather limited. On Friday night there’s only one open and it closes at 7pm. The supermarket in the market square is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5.30pm with the little shop beside it only open from 9am to 2pm Saturday and 9am to 1pm Sunday.
