Things…

• I have sore elbows, I woke up about three nights ago with them looking like a 7yr old’s knees. They hurt. However, I’m more annoyed that I don’t know why and how they got like this.
• My eyes are sore too, but that’s contact lenses. Nothing mysterious, just thought I’d share.
• I have a job interview in the morning. As well as any good luck thoughts you may kindly wish to have, I’d like some good direction thoughts as I’ve not had chance to practice going there.
• And I’m having to wear full on heels because my only non-sk8terish flats make me look about 6.
• Oh and as well as my elbows I’m covered in little bite marks. Not impressed. I may be a fan of the loving more than one concept, but my idea of more than one does not include arm biting little bugs.
• I won a camera on eBay. I’m very proud that I did proper saving and selling of previous cameras to buy it. I am aching for it to turn up though, really badly want to get my hands on it.
• Bizarrely quite miffed that I’m missing a stats lesson tomorrow. This is not normal behaviour I’m sure.
• Desperately trying to remember what that plumbing foam that you get in tube shapes is called…it’s not sponge. I know that because I can touch it without freaking out, and I can’t touch sponge…but I want to know its name so I don’t look a complete numpty when I go to B&Q.
• I want it because I’m changing a nappy bag into a camera bag…I absolutely loathe camera bags, they’re hideous to look at…really truly fucking ugly…and I’m sure having a camera brand name plastered all over something isn’t tremendously safe with regards muggers et al.
• I have an eye test on Friday. I’m grumpy. it needs doing though if I want more contact lenses. Which I do. I like being able to see where I’m going and not getting run over. But I dislike the battle for my prescription, the attempts to sell me after care and pretty much the whole process.
• Though I hate the dentist more.

Just so, you could cash in on a good thing, Before I’d realised your game

Well my biggest assignment is gone done. I’m going to hand it in on Monday. Providing I remember it along with the stupidly large library books that I chose to take out of the college library.

If I be waspish, best beware my sting

Right am going to be quite strict with myself and have a week and a bit self-enforced ban from blog and Facebook (Twitter is less time eating, as is Flickr, oh and if you’re in a nosy mood I’m playing around with Formspring too).

You can’t read a robot’s mind, can’t expect vultures to be kind

Just so someone can swear at their screen and shake their head in a pitying fashion at me, worry about my eyesight and mental health herein is my list of…

Inappropriate Crushes

How inappropriate you think they are depends largely on 1) your worldview 2)your eyesight 3) your sexual orientation* 4) your psychological well-being…

1/2

Last day of my half term (and it is actuately referred to as half term not “reading week” or “study week” so in theory I’m not obliged to do anything), and am feeling sort of like I’m at least running in the right race, even if I’m nowhere near winning.

So far I have:

• Completed my report for the world’s dullest practical (put stuff in test tube, heat, cool, put other stuff in test tube, take bits of mixed stuff out, see if it changes colour of other stuff, stop when it stops changing colour of other stuff, repeat). He gave us no word count but said that the introduction part should at the very least equate to an essay. In my head an essay is 1000 words so that’s what I aimed for, and have ended up with a 15 page assignment. Which is going to be one of two things a) too short and I will discover that L (who is by far the smartest in the class by a long mile-she’s also quite nice too, so this is said factually rather than jealously) has submitted something of about 30 pages, or b) it’s far too long and he will pull one of those faces at me.
• Completed my creative writing piece, which was fooking harder than it should’ve been after not having been creative in far too long. The lovely MissMax had a peruse through to check it wasn’t utter crappola. I’m still worried it’s mawkish, but my head is now so filled with enzyme theory that short of making up a story about some jolly lyases I’m a creative void now.
• Almost finished draft three billion of my “I’m really lovely please let me in your university on the basis of this rather than me having to get on my knees” statement. But I have a dangling last sentence, and frustratingly can’t complete the form altogether till Monday at the earliest because I need some info from the course admin.
• Managed for my research project bit-2 email interviews, 1 further one waiting to be replied to and one telephone interview.  Whored myself shamelessly in an effort to get information, and have got very worried that the word limit of 2500 is really not going to be enough for what I want to say. (I did already mention this weeks back to JNBT where I asked if if he “realised you have opened Pandora’s box”, to which his not tremendously helpful response was “I know but it needs opening” and then cackled like some kind of fooking Bond villan).
• Gone for walk around a reservoir.
• Consumed an entire packet of mozzarella, most of a packet of edam and a bit of red leicester.
• Got into an argument about Facebook statuses, and consequently am no longer allowed to mention certain other human entities at all on the internet.

Answers to correspondants

I thought I’d be polite for once and answer all those pesky questions that appear in the spam comments and in my email spam.

I should, right now, be doing my biology homework (so we’ll pretend for a minute that I am indeed trying to find out differences in types of cells, and not writing this and trying to draw octopuses).

Insert Father Jack here

I’ve had a really enjoyable week, doing stuff that I don’t ordinarily get to do, and properly enjoyed myself. I learnt stuff too, but I did really enjoy myself.
