Last week's mysterious annoying noises ceased at about 2 a.m., finally allowing me to work on my project. I collapsed three hours later, and at 8 a.m. I was really happy I didn't actually have to hand it in just yet, and also half asleep. When I came back home, I managed to find out that the noises were made by some kind of heating device they'd ( Read more... )

I had more important things to do today, such as working on my thesis or finishing that project that really needs to be done by tomorrow morning, but I kept getting distracted and, occasionally,* pissed off by the mysterious noises from upstairs. Sure, there had been strange and annoying noises, vibrations and, on at least one occasion, bricks  ( Read more... )

After over four months of this, I have become so used to being woken up by drills, hammers, collapsing walls, etc., that I can just roll over and go back to sleep. So they somehow came up with a brand new annoying noise. One that can randomly turn on and off even when there is nobody in there. Even on Sundays.

Been to the Dean's Office this morning. Apparently, they don't even know what year I'm in any more. Even though the Dean personally told me I was in fifth year a couple of months ago. I plan to ask him what the hell he thinks he's doing as soon as possible (Probably in about a week, but I'll still have to get up early on Tuesday, just in case), but ( Read more... )

I failed an exam. Again. Of course, nearly 80% of the year failed it, but it still sucks. And also, the resit in February ruins all my plans for the winter break. And all this could have been avoided if I only figured out one thing a little sooner. Damn.
Also, the noises from upstairs continue. They ran out of walls to tear down a couple of weeks ( Read more... )

I awoke, once again, to the sound of... well, it sounded a lot like a dentist's drill, except nothing has teeth large enough to justify the existence of a drill this big. I pulled the covers over my head and, if it's at all possible to sleep defiantly, then that's exactly what I did. For about five minutes, after which I was woken up again, this ( Read more... )

Going to Warsaw this afternoon. And, just like every year, winter has surprised everyone and especially the people responsible for the railways. We may or may not be in Warsaw in time for dinner on Christmas Eve. Yay ( Read more... )

Seriously, this is worse than the vampire hunters. Late this morning* I woke up to the sound of a wall collapsing. The entire building was shaking. This went on for a couple of hours. And then there was the drill or whatever the hell it was and giant hammer. This has been happening almost every day for a week now (Fortunately, I'm not always home ( Read more... )
