Week 3.

I'm siiiick!!!!!!!

I've had a cold all week and I am not at all impressed. I believe I caught it off a friend who is inhabiting my spare room at the moment, which is understandable - small spaces are contagion's best friend.

My sinuses are about to explode, my throat is dead and the bits where my tonsils used to be are all swollen! I thought a tonsillectomy meant you wouldn't get sick in your tonsil region any more!!! (I was wrong).

and the boyfriend has gone to work and there's no one to look after me! *sob*

It's weird having people staying with us. two friends of ours, a couple, have been here for  a week so far. they leave next weekend when their new flat becomes available. It's nice to have them here at the moment, but I definitely wouldn't have flatmates again permanently if I had the choice. There's too much stuff everywhere - not enough space to put all the belongings of four people. and I can't go to the bathroom naked, even in the middle of the night. 

Uni this week has been pretty good. we covered experimental embryology in Bio 107, which I thought was really interesting. A lot of people really dislike the lecturer for the topic but I don't really know why. I think maybe because these professors would really rather be doing their own research than teaching the basics to over-eager first years, and so, aren't quite as enthusiastic as the twenty and thirty-something secondary teachers whose main goal is to make learning happen for a bunch of painful teenagers. These first years will get used to it over the next three years, when every lecturer they have is exactly the same :P

The tutorials I have been going to have been great. We did a reasonably in depth session on the Poplhlth 101 assignment that's due in a week and a bit, which was good. I have to buckle down and finish that today. I've only got a bit to go though. Maybe 700 more words for content, then just tidying the whole lot up, referencing etc. etc.

I bought myself a mascot toy from the uni bookshop this week. His name is Safety Boy. The pic is pretty much what he looks like only he is the red one and he has black shorts. Also one of the beads for his eyes is bigger than the other so it looks like he's a little crazy...or maybe has a black eye, the poor thing. So cute. I love his little broken arm. There are more characters and they are awesomesauce.

So week 4 starts this week and guess what.. the week after is the last week of term! how insanely quick has that been? mind you, it is a very short term.. and next term will be two weeks longer. Damn them moveable feasts (that is to say, easter is early this year and they don't like to give us too many holidays, so term break is also happening early).

One last thing: I think I'm going to start up martial arts again. My friends neighbour runs a club at the uni. I went on friday and did some sparring and stuff. It was good fun.

Alright, must go and be productive.
