Dissertations are finished. Yay! It's pretty wrong that I've just been sitting in my room for the last hour or so...er...listening to "yes sir, I can boogie" by Baccara (not sure why I have this urge to publicly humiliate myself at the moment). 2 more weeks, then exams will have finished, and university will be over.

Gah! My Dad keeps asking me whether there are "any boyfriends" and casually dropping hints about grandchildren! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH.

Excellent! I had the stitches removed and my face is almost back to normal.

The NHS are really awesome. I just had to go in and get 3 stitches just above my upper lip, and they were so so good.
