You had it once, but now it's gone
On Friday, at 4:20, with forty minutes to go until the deadline, I handed in my dissertation ( Read more... ) -
So many people have come and gone, Their faces fade as the years go by
I've just (for given value of just) come from the Melville leavers' (or Valedictorian) dinner. I dressed up in my full kilt outfit for the first time since ... the James Bond night, when we hired the cinema and got Bond's car to put on a midnight showing of Casino Royale on opening night.

The exam was pretty nice, I enjoyed it a lot better than I'd thought. Rest of Wednesday was spent in Aikman's, with Owain, James and James's girl. Oh, and ( Read more... ) -
Revise urgent revision before big revision [no one will get that reference]
Right. Project handed in on Monday. Would've been better if I'd actually come up with an aim for the project before handing it in, or deleted the sarcastic comments and awful pun, or put in the procedure for putting in diagrams, which, y'know, might have helped my geometry project, which I worked out the basic idea not too long before hand-in ( Read more... ) -
Still no better than before
Ah, Junior Honours is hell, or there's some minor exchange scheme going on I wasn't aware of ( Read more... )
