Well, it's now the night before and I am in the midst of washing and packing for my trip.

I can't express my excitement in words. In 48 hours I will be in one the most innovative places in the world. I am hoping to learn so much while I am at CERN. The most exciting thing for me is that I will get to see the Large Hadron Collider. This is the largest particle accelerators in the world! I can't wait to sit in the lectures and absorb all the information about cosmology and particle physics, which I will be able to share with my students, in Year 12 particularly.

Well it's time to continue packing, and I look forward to writing my first post from Geneva.

;)
