COMPOSED UPON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE, SEPT. 3, 1802 ( Read more... )

I'm writing an essay on arterial baroreceptors.

Its 2.30.

I left lunch in order to start working at 1.00.

I've written 49 words.

And I've already managed to misspell 'mainly'.

Ahem.

So, I'd been thinking that this medicine lark isn't too bad - true, I have more lectures and tutes in one day than most people have in a week, but overall I'm on top of it. Not to mention, I get most Tuesdays off! So, the plan for today was to put the finishing touches on my essay, do some violin, go to the gym... Then, yesterday afternoon I get an ( Read more... )

I am officially a member of Oxford University! Woke up at an ungodly hour this morning to have photos, and then traipsed to the Sheldonian to be ceremoniously addressed in Latin. After which we went down to a tapas bar in full sub fusc - walking through Cowley in a gown will get you stared at, I soon discovered. The whole day has been really fun, ( Read more... )

Hmmm, I wish that when I said to Emily the other night 'You have to come to the party! I've got lectures at 9, 10, 12 and 3 tomorrow, and I'm losing my voice and I'm still going' that I had actually listened to myself. Never mind, that's the wonder of an afternoon nap.

I have a tutorial in an hour and a half. I really should do some reading. OOH

I'm at uni! And I'm loving it! This has quite possibly been one of the best weeks of my life. I've met so many lovely people (quite a few attractive ones as well) and it already feels like I've been here all my life. That said, I am absolutely shattered. Tonight was the quietest night so far, and I'm sitting here at 3 am with my ears ringing and ( Read more... )

So, I had an interesting day a couple of days ago. Woke up to my mum saying 'Danni, what time is your doctors' appointment?'. As I mumbled '8.40' incoherently, I looked over at the clock by my bed. It was 8.55. 15 minutes of mad dashing later, I arrived at the doctor's surgery where they said they could fit me in the next day at 8.30. Why! Why all ( Read more... )

I am so ridiculously excited about uni now, I don't think I can wait a whole month! So far I have bought ( Read more... )

I'm going to Oxford. I actually am. Genuinely. I got so stressed when I went on Track and it hadn't updated - I was convinced that I had missed my grades and they were trying to break it to me gently! Even better, most of my friends have done really well, so champagne all round ( Read more... )

Well it's back to getting up at an ungodly hour and being glad when the weekend rolls around - I finally have a job! It's weird, but I don't have that terrible sinking feeling that I used to get around this time on a Sunday when there was school on Monday. Maybe its because I'm getting paid for it. Or because I love my job. Or because I don't have ( Read more... )
