I find it hard to wrap my head around how I am feeling as the train slowly sets off from Waverley station on what is probably my last official visit to Edinburgh as an Industrial Doctoral Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE) student. Proud of the work I have completed over the last three-and-a-bit years. Terrified at the prospect of trying to summarise it all in a remotely coherent way and submit by the end of the summer. Sad that I won’t get to come back to this beautiful city and see my fellow IDCORE-ians as frequently. Excited at the thought of the graduation celebrations with these fantastic friends that is, le cúnamh Dé, just around the corner. Ben Hudson It was a brilliant day
