Ladies, gentlemen, and faceless people of the internet:

I have been PAID.  Woop woop, I have a real job and everything!

I need to find car-sharing to Peterborough though, trains are sucking £50 a week right now >:(

What was the first thing I have bought?

WRATH OF THE LICH KING.
Finally!

Computer still unfortunately buggered , although I managed to finish ( Read more... )

Gah! Why do alarm clocks never re-set themselves on a friday night? Nono, it has to be wednesday, so I wake up at 8.55, and have a frantic grab-clothes-take-pill-clean-teeth-OMG-must-calltaxi-aarrrgh moment ( Read more... )

I got a Distinction!And the highest mark in Entomology. I am so Very Pleased :D :D :D ( Read more... )

I'm not entirely sure I should be updating this from quarentine. But it would be tricky for the psyllids to escape down the internet, so it's probably fine ;)

What have I been up to?
Project work.  This is almost entirely it, with the slight exception of some writing.  My supervisors have vanished off to Pakistan, so I am rather on my own for this ( Read more... )

* Cambridge Weekend:

Fun :) We broke into Podhouse (well, not really, I did ask, we had a key, and I cleaned the sink while we were there), for Torchwood, and Dr Who/takeaway Podfood.
Slightly odd feeling of squatting in someone else's house. Who... seems to have most of my belongings still... :P

Illness mostly gone. My throat keeps hurting ( Read more... )

Apparently, I like raw cauliflower. Also I may have a project - not in Switzerland, but with distinct possibilities of Papers :D On Psyllids - jumping plant lice - vs. Japanese Knotweed

Also, have some photos of Things:
( ~glee~ )

A better kind of update, of a less 'OMG-work-angst-locked' nature.

I am happier this week :)

* Orangery report is finished.  It has stats and boxplot.  More importantly, I'm fairly sure I understood the stats I did (well, not to equation-level, but roughly how they worked and what they were looking at).  1 page over the suggested length... ( Read more... )

I have made so much cake this week.
Take THAT, sensible nutrition.

In other news:

* Fireworks at Ascot racecourse.  Win.  £5 for display, and not bad for that (although there was a fantastic-looking one going on way away in the background, proper Trinity-style, with ones that resembled the Death Star going off.  But £5 show was good for £5!).  Also I ( Read more... )

*flops*

MScs are busy.

Official Work To Be Done:

1) Conservation Management Plan.
- Not a lot of actual progress here yet. Must check tomorrow if we've finished the malaise trap sorting, and capture Gordon/Jasmin for planning positions of pitfall traps. Must buy some freezer bags for soil samples - or possible gauze.

2) Hemiptera feeding behaviour ( Read more... )
