Chernobyl


First and foremost I must give a birthday shoutout to my dad (not that he reads this at all) and hope that he has a good day. 26th April is a big day in my family as we celebrate my father's and my auntie's birthdays (they are twins), so also a shoutout to my auntie Linda too.

26th April may also roll off the tongue for another reason, but something a lot less personal to myself and would mean something to everyone as a human being. It is a day we should remember, but unlike birthdays, we should never celebrate it. Yes it was 20 years ago today since the nuclear reactor malfunction at Chernobyl, Ukraine had happened. If Hiroshima was not enough to show the devastation of nuclear power, Chernobyl certainly showed the world the sheer capability of it's fatal consequences.

Anyway, back to more personal matters. I have recently finished my essay on global inequality and now Im going to start one about US Human Rights Policy. After that, comes the dissertation! Fun fun!

Still considering options for next year regarding where to live, but hopefully we will have something sorted soon. Its hard to believe that the time spent here at Casa del Cathays will soon come to an end! Oh well, watch this space to see if I end up in a cardboard box on St. Mary's St in the near future.
