I was feeling bored so I started writing another advice essay. This is my third one, after my exam and teaching advice sheets. Do any of you guys who did the MSc. last year still read my blog? Do you have advice that you'd like to share? I know that Saumitra and Majid still check in from time to time. Do other readers have any wisdom they'd like to liberally donate?

I almost forgot! Given that hoards of you check this space so regularly for my profound advice, here's some I almost forgot to mention!
While travelling, don't (DO NOT) throw away your boarding pass, or use it to stick gum on for later disposal. If you don't, and keep it safely, you won't have to run back in through immigration, explain yourself to five different armed officers why you need to go back into the control area, and then finally sift through a ton of disgusting garbage to find your boarding card in less than pristine condition. Why would you ever need to do that you might ask... well... it just could be that your bag doesn't show up in the baggage carousel, and you need to prove that the bag was yours. A mighty tough job if the baggage claim sticker is on the back of that damned boarding card.
Learn from your Guru's wisdom (and mildly troubling past experience)... keep your boarding card for three years after you travel!
