      I would imagine I’d run around for about 30 seconds not being able to process the thought. It would be amazing to win. I’d probably tell my work colleagues first as they have been so supportive of me doing this and all the other events I’ve organised. Then it would be the family because I’m sure they would be super proud.

      I’d tell my friend Hollie first! Hollie and I work together and we do a lot of school visits, we spend a lot of time making presentations and talking to students about science and we would be using the prize money to show even more students what it’s like to live and work as a geologist out in the desert or the Arctic!T Then I’d have to wake up my girlfriend to tell her (she lives in Australia at the moment!).

      At 3 o’clock tomorrow when we will find out I expect I’ll be in the lab so no doubt my colleagues would find out first (probably from me squealing!) Then I’d tell my boyfriend .. except he’ll be in the middle of his best friends wedding ceremony so he might not pick up the phone!
