I have got to got to got to get my individual project thing in at least draft form. Preferably, as near as damn finished as possible. And then I can find someone to read it and check I’m not a total moron (JNBT said he can skim but actually reading counts as a submission, and skimming seems pointless to me). But I do have to be strict with myself or I’ll never get it done.
I also need to revise for my Maths exam resit on Monday.Boos and hisses all round. If someone can explain to me why my brain can comprehend tricky stuff like logs, but can’t get relatively simple rules that don’t change for algebra to stay in there for more than 30seconds please tell.
And I need to get some notes for the parasite thing. Preferably not from random reports in Welsh on BSE. So that I can write that. in theory I have till May/June, but frankly I want the bloody thing out of the way. It would help if a single solitary parasite I have read about in my notes so far seemed inspiring. For causes of some major diseases they are quite frankly slightly dull little chaps.
And need to do some itty bits and bobs too, that I’d like to have finished by 7th February. So all of this semester is done and dusted.

My sting will be felt by firstly un-named power company and its repair man. Who texted at 7.30am saying “on way”, it’s now half six in the evening and still he has not emerged.
Second candidate for a big fat sting will be the student finance/support part of my college. Who have been given the money that students such as I and several of my classmates were ‘awarded’, and yet have been sat on it for weeks. The person who was dealing with it has not answered phonecalls/emails and I found out today that this is because she has changed departments (although how difficult it would be to reply to an email with “Sorry I don’t do that now, email X instead”?!) And the people who do, don’t answer their naffing ‘phones. They got the money in early December, and we were told “some point in January”. So we have till Friday then. I suspect when Monday comes N and I will indeed by going forth and kicking some ass (perfect antidote post exam). EDIT: letter today says it’ll be in tomorrow, yay. However, point still stands about it being sat on for blah weeks.
There’s a lot of things I like about the college I attend. Much of the time the apparent chaos is sort of endearing, like an elderly aunt who keeps forgetting why she went upstairs, and repeatedly buys tins of pilchards and balls of string  “just incase”.
It has some sweet little quirks, like it makes all the staff move offices yearly in some ongoing game of not very musical chairs (I gather they don’t like it so much, but I think they’re just not embracing the potential fun) and most of the telephone exchange seems to be programmed wrong (JNBT is a whole entire centre, which seems fairly unfeasable, he’s not a small bloke but a centre?)
This, however, annoys me. It’s not that they don’t have the ruddy money it’s that they’re sitting on it, without explanation. It isn’t theirs. I’m luckily to be cynical enough to assume that it wasn’t going to come in the first place, but more trusting souls, like N have budgeted on the assumption that it will. Knowing that the funding is there, but in someone else’s bank account with no reasonable explanation is tremendously frustrating.
