It is indeed a glorious thing to take a break from working. Ah, the fineness...

On Friday rosie_rah and I bopped round Cambridge & I did some shopping & bought exciting boots-with-pom-poms (which SOMEONE mocked) and a present for my best friend & various other bits (including pretend ice-cream)... And we did Guidey things & then we went to meet chaletian to make ( Read more... )

Today was very fine.

3) Tweenies in Welsh
4) classic fm TV
5) no phone conference
6) bright pink jelly
7) giraffe restaurant

Life remains hectic. On the plus side, I have a new pink jumper & some new socks. I also, after this morning's fun larking about at the doctor's, have inhalers, which is probably a good thing ( Read more... )

Paper 24 (The History of the United States from 1828) this morning was not exactly a barrel of laughs... A gender question, an immigration question, and a civil rights question.

I was talking to Hannah in the Buttery, and it turns out the girl who had collapsed outside the Philippa Fawcett Room yesterday was severely dehydrated: she had food poisoning and was only just out of hospital. *headdesk* Not only had she been dragged back, essentially, it was decided to move her (she kept fainting) in case she disturbed our exam ( Read more... )

If it IS theirs, then where is ours??? In any case, I am tempted to go on a stealth raid and not only nab it, but imprison it in my cupboard. Just because stroppy notes really ( Read more... )

There is something very strange about sitting an exam with just two students in a small room, plus the invigilator. It is also quite weird they make the invigilators wear gowns. Possibly to give them an air of authority. Or something. Air of authority would have been good as our invigilator did look about 12. Possibly 13, at a push ( Read more... )

Mnyreuh I am EXHAUSTED... six hour journeys are NOT fun *shakes head emphatically ( Read more... )
