Have lots of polls I want to make. Will have to do them...
- Got confused by our crazy bedder. She poured about half abottle of bleach down the loo, then decided it was blocked and, after tapingit up and sticking on an 'out of order' notice, called in Maintenance, who arrived maybe an hour later. Maintenace man unblocked the loo afternearly passing out from the fumes. Loo became blocked again that evening and proceeded to make strange gurgling noises all night. Maintenance returned today and decided it was too deeply blocked for them to sort and will bring in an outside contractor to fix it.
- Finished a doodle on my Pathology notes.
- Spent an hour and a half lookingat slides of lymph node and spleen.
- Discovered that lymph node and spleen look mostly the same, so got very bored after drawing a whole series of near identical diagrams, in which cells were designated by biro dots, resulting in me basically hammering the page with a biro so hard that the pad of paper has pressure-marks 6 pages in.
- Went for a walk with
l_j_b round town. We came to the MS foundation stall, where they were running a tombola. Since I am generally lucky in tombolas (and it was a very good cause), I entered. I didn't win a whole teddy, but I got the runner-up prize, which is the right to buy one at half price. Since I didn't have £6, I borrowed it off
l_j_b,and subsequently wandered into Pathology with an enormous Teddy-Santa. - Was then informed by Teddy-Santa that he wished to be named Voronwë. I agreed, so I now have a giant teddy called Voronwë in a Santa hat.
- Went to the "lesbians' coffee evening" at Clown's with Girly, and drank coffee(and ate carrot cake), watched lesbian arm-wrestling, and was impressed by how pretty Cambridge lesbians are.They are very nice and fun and good to laugh with, andI enjoyed it muchly.
- Went 'oops' when Girly's phone rang and the person on the other end gently reminded her that she had a supervision, like, NOW.
Today I:
- Went to lectures and was bored (not in the mood, really, and an hour of anyone talking about Biochem, even in Plants, makes my brain try to retreat to a quiet, fluffy place. Biochem is logical but HARD. And who got the crazy idea of trying to work out how photosynthesis occurs anyway? I mean, didn't they have a job or something to be doing?)
- Got twitchy in Plants lecture, as it was my supervisor lecturing, andI didn't want to look like I was falling asleep (I wasn't any more bored than usual, just felt really dopey this morning...)
- Went to a supervision where my enthuisiam for plant phylogeny and taxonomy scared both supervision partners. I'm sure stating that a spider plant is Chlorophytum, and comparing the carrot and potato families for lethal-ness isn't really that scary. It's interesting.
- Wrote a bit more essay.
- Managed to keep college inbox size below 600 e-mails for a little longer.
