In between being chewed by my demonstrator for confusing cell mediums and thusly mass culling my precious babies, I've been sluugging away on the old project. Not enjoying it at all to be honest. The supervisors are extremely unpleasant to work for and as a result of my error earlier on and their response (over the top and humiliating) I certainly ( Read more... )

Well I knew this day would come, when I'd get kicked out of my comfy student accom here in Galway and be forced to look for summer digs while I carry out my thesis.

We received a letter last week from the residential powers that be, informing us that they'd be conducting an inspection of the apartments sometime this week...you know just to make sure we haven't smeared shit on the walls or torn up the good lino. As students might tend to do ( Read more... )

K the class ride just came over to where I'm sitting here in the library and was all like " So do you wanna go grab a coffee???"

And I said NO

What am I like, as soon as I said it I was totally kicking myself. I'm such a fool for a pretty face and a hot bod......Agggghhhhhhhh.

I've a feeling it was a relatively good thing to be single this valentines day considering my new dietary intake of vast amounts of pulses, lentils, raw vegetables and high fibre carbohydrates. It does get rather annoying awaking in the middle of the night, freezing, to find that your mattress has floated across the room like a hot air balloon ( Read more... )

Had a very relaxing weekend indeed, chilling out and catching up with Brion. Didn't seem like he was away for 6 months at all really. It's great to have him back in the country ( Read more... )
