exam results!
Hello everyone
time for another update me things. Got my exam results today. 65 in Parasitology and 58 in Behavioural Ecology, thats a 2.1 and 2.2 respectivley. So fairly proud of that. Hope it can drag last year up and give me a decent degree at the end of this. Elsewhere on the uni front I'm liking BOB less and less. The topic is ok but no past papers and worrying about what the questions will be like. Actually gonna be a bit worried about all the module exams this term, can't see what direction they are heading in. Will have to look at past papers for the ones that have them and try and figure out a way to pass.
The elephant project is being ok but a lil tiring trying to get my piece to fit in the poster and try to get the talk sorted. That will be a weekend/monday night thing. Dissertation is just URGH. We decided to do a PCR on the last 2 extractions i did as it appears that the DNA is stuck in the well. But still havent been told when we can do the PCR and on top of that we have run out of DNA extraction kit so can't do any more of that until they get more in! I've just lost the whole of this week which brings it up to a month of lab time lost due to 'technical problems'. And I have to stop lab work on the 15th so little time to get it all done but no point in panicing till I have the DNA extraction kit. Will just set up camp in the lab when it arrives and slog it out. Gonna be tiring.
We've been having snow and hail here which has been fun when walking around *not*. But yes it is very pretty. Was a nice sunny day today, even walked up the hill. So feeling positive.
I've got back on my diet track. Soya milkshake everyday. Porridge with soya milk for breakfast, 1 piece of fruit and eating dinner and lunch. Also trying to squeeze more soya in wherever I can. Need to keep my calcium up.
Mum got back from Trinidad, Uncle Ivan is still not concious but hes out of the real danger zone so that is something good. Natalie has decided to leave the kids to Simon if anything happens to her during the birth with the stipulation that if he doesnt take care of them they go to mum. But I'm less than happy with that. Don't think hes good enough to take care of children. But what can I do about it?
Have found some interesting new animes, Loveless, Jigoku shijou (sp?) and My Hime but i'll be damned if i can dload them from anywhere. Tried using bit torrent, started to kill the network and then found out it was spanish anyway. Found another one on bit torrent but will have to dload over night so as not to disrupt people.
I;m having a positive day today so far, much better than last week, was having moodswings like mad, and last night was at the end of my teether. But hopefully I can build on today. Appt with T tomorrow, lecture then off to manc where i have a sam and an inuyahsa tournament which i;m excited about. Gonna try and make some good decks. maybe a priest/priestess one. Well hope everyone is ok
Oh and Gigi has been anounced for Serenity con *bounces*. I played with my new firepoi, I think they are possessed, I swing them and it feels like they are moving me, think thats just the weight, gets easier as you go though. Will give me man like shoulder muscles though. Need belly poi, ones that work the belly!
Mum is looking at booking the holiday for early sept/late aug which is cool, though cant be 1st week of sept as sam cant get that off work. Plans for Finland are fallinmg into place just gotta catch becka online to hash it all out. Mums brought me all sorts of treats from trinidad, wedding roti, coconuts, plantain, sweets. Can't wait to stuff my face next weekend when she comes down to visit. Am actually looking forward to my mother visiting how odd is that!
Ok really is it now
